INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD:
A - CHOICE OF ATTACHMENTS
- Only attachments approved by MANITOU can be used on its telehandlers�
- Make sure the attachment is appropriate for the work to be done (e 4 - OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS FOR USE WITH THE
RANGE)�
- If the telehandler is equipped with the single side-shift carriage OPTION (TSDL), use only the authorised attachments
(e 4 - OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS FOR USE WITH THE RANGE)�
- Make sure the attachment is correctly installed and locked onto the telehandler carriage�
- Make sure that your telehandler attachments work properly�
- Comply with the load chart limits for the telehandler 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, as there is a risk of the sling slipping
(e INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD: H - TAKING UP AND LAYING A SUSPENDED LOAD)�
- Do not handle loads that are hung directly from the forks with straps (e�g�: big bags), as there is a risk that the straps will
shear against the sharp edges� Use an attachment designed for this purpose�
B - WEIGHT 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 telehandler is valid for a load in which the longitudinal
position of the centre of gravity is 500 mm (19�6 in) from the base of the forks (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 telehandler�
p
It is forbidden to handle a load heavier than the eective capacity specied on the
telehandlerload 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 extra vigilant and careful to limit these variations as far as possible.
C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE
This device gives an indication of the longitudinal stability of the telehandler, and
limits hydraulic movements in order to ensure this stability, at least under the following
operating conditions:
• when the telehandler is at a standstill,
• when the telehandler is on firm, stable and consolidated ground,
• when the telehandler is performing handling and placing operations�
- Move the boom very carefully when approaching the authorised load limit
(
e 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS)�
- Always watch this device during handling operations�
- In the event that “AGGRAVATING” hydraulic movements are cut-off, only perform
de-aggravating hydraulic movements in the following order (fig� C): if necessary,
raise the boom (1), retract the boom as far as possible (2) and lower the boom (3) to set down the load�
p
The instrument reading may be erroneous when the steering is at its maximum limit or the rear axle oscillated to its
limit.
Before lifting a load, make sure that the telehandler is not in either of these situations.
