TAKING UP A HIGH LOAD ON STABILIZERS
- Make sure the forks will fit easily under the load.
- Check the position of the lift truck with respect to the load and make a test run, if necessary,
without taking the load.
- Raise and extend the jib (1) (2) until the forks are at the level of the load (fig. G5).
- Block the forks in front of the load by alternately using the controls to extend and lower the jib
(1) (fig. G6).
- Lift the load slightly (1) and tilt the carriage (2) backwards to stabilise the load (fig. G7).
- Monitor the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HANDLING A LOAD: C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE). If it is
overloaded, set the load down in the place from where it was taken.
- If possible lower the load without moving the lift truck. Raise the jib (1) to release the load,
retract (2) and lower the jib (3) to set the load into transport position (fig. G8).
LAYING A HIGH LOAD ON STABILIZERS
- Raise and extend the jib (1) (2) until the load is above the elevation (fig. G9), while monitoring
the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A
LOAD: C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE).
- Position the load horizontally and release it by lowering and retracting the jib (1) (2) to position
the load correctly (fig. G10).
- Release the forks by alternating retracting and raising the jib (3) (fig. G11).
- If possible, set the jib in transport position without moving the lift truck.
