A - Weight of load and centre of gravity.
Carrying a load greater than the rated capacity for the lift truck or for the attachment is
prohibited.
- Before taking up a load, you must know its weight and its centre of gravity.
- The load chart relating to your lift truck is valid for a weight with its centre of gravity
48 in. from the heel of the forks (Fig. A). For a load with a higher centre of grav-
ity, consult your agent or dealer.
- For irregular loads, determine the centre of gravity in the transverse direction before
handling (Fig. B).
For loads with a moving centre of gravity (e.g. liquids), take account of the variations
in the centre of gravity in order to determine the load to be handled (Consult your
agent or dealer) and be vigilant and take extra care to limit these variations as far as
possible
.
B - Taking up a load on the ground.
- Position the lift truck perpendicular to the load, with the jib retracted and the forks in
a horizontal position (Fig. C).
- Adjust the fork spread and centering in connection with the load (Fig. D) (Optional
solutions exist, consult your dealer).
Beware of the risks of trapping or squashing limbs when manually adjusting the forks.
Always maintain an equal distance between the forks and the centre of the carriage in
order to keep the load completely stable.
- Slowly move the life truck forward (1) and stop with the forks in front of the load
(Fig. E), if necessary, slightly lift the jib (2) while taking up the load.
- Apply the parking brake and place the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Slightly lift the load (1), tilt the carriage backwards (2) in the transport position (Fig.
F).
Inclinare sufficientemente il carico all’indietro per assicurarne la stabilità (perdita del
carico durante la frenata) facendo però attenzione a non modificarne l’equilibrio.
