INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD
A - CHOICE OF ATTACHMENTS
- Only attachments approved by MANITOU can be used on its lift trucks.
- Make sure the attachment is appropriate for the work to be done (see: 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS IN OPTION ON THE RANGE).
- Make sure the attachment is correctly installed and locked onto the lift truck carriage.
- Make sure that your lift truck attachments work properly.
- Comply with the load chart limits for the lift truck for the attachment used.
- Do not exceed the rated capacity of the attachment.
- Never lift a load in a sling without the attachment provided for the purpose. There are optional solutions ; contact your dealer.
B - MASS OF LOAD AND CENTRE OF GRAVITY
- Before taking up a load, you must know its mass and its centre of gravity.
- The load chart for your lift truck is valid for a load in which the longitudinal position of the
centre of gravity is 500 or 600 mm from the base of the forks (as model of lift truck) (fig.
B1). For a higher centre of gravity, contact your dealer.
- For irregular loads, determine the transverse centre of gravity before any movement (fig.
B2) and set it in the longitudinal axis of the lift truck.
It is forbidden to move a load heavier than the effective capacity defined on the lift truck
load chart.
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 and be vigilant and take extra
care to limit these variations as far as possible.
