H - TAKING UP AND LAYING DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD
p
Failure to follow the above instructions may lead the telehandler to lose stability and overturn.
MUST be used with a telehandler equipped with an operational hydraulic movement cut-out device.
CONDITIONS OF USE
- The length of the sling or the chain shall be as short as possible to limit swinging of the load�
- Lift the load vertically along its axis, never by pulling sideways or lengthways�
HANDLING WITHOUT MOVING THE TELEHANDLER
- Whether on stabilizers or on tires, the lateral attitude must not exceed 1 % and the longitudinal attitude must not exceed
5%, the bubble of the level must be held at "0"�
- Ensure that the wind speed is not higher than 10 m/s (32�8 ft/s)�
- Ensure that there is no one between the load and the telehandler�
I - TRAVELLING WITH A SUSPENDED LOAD
- Before moving, inspect the terrain in order to avoid excessive slopes and cross-falls, bumps and potholes, or soft ground�
- Ensure that the wind speed is not higher than 36 km/h (22�3 mph)�
- The telehandler must not travel at more than 0�4 m/s (1�3 ft/s) (1�5 km/h-0�93 mph, i�e�, one quarter walking speed)�
- Drive and stop the telehandler gently and smoothly to minimise swinging of the load�
- Carry the load a few centimetres above the ground (max� 30 cm - 11�8 inch) the shortest possible boom length� Do not
exceed the offset indicated on the load chart� If the load begins to swing excessively, do not hesitate to stop and lower
the boom to set down the load�
- Before moving the telehandler, check the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (
e 2 - DESCRIPTION:
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS), only the green LEDs and possibly the yellow LEDs should be lit�
- During transport, the telehandler operator must be assisted by a person on the ground (standing a minimum of 3 m
from the load), who will limit swinging of the load using a bar or a rope� Ensure that this person is always clearly in view�
- The lateral attitude must not exceed 5 %, the bubble in the level must be kept between the two "MAX" marks
- The longitudinal attitude must not exceed 15 %, with the load facing uphill, and 10 %, with the load facing downhill�
- The boom angle must not exceed 45°�
- If the first red LED of the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (e 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND
CONTROLS) comes on while travelling, gently bring the telehandler to a halt and stabilise the load� Retract the telescopic
boom to reduce the offset of the load�
