RANGE
5.2.1 USAGE AND INSTALLATION
OF ATTACHMENT AND SAFETY
RULES
Manitou will choose attachment that is in accordance
with International standard ISO2328 (Forklift pothook
fork and install size of carriage), such as clamp, rotator,
paper roll clamp, carrying ram, side-shifter etc.
5.2.2 USE OF ATTACHMENT
1. Know well the content of nameplate on attachment,
and read the instruction manual before use.
(Especially the manual from professional
attachment company) Before operating the
attachment, people must be trained and obtain the
qualification.
2. One must understand the basic capability and
operating methods of attachment, especially the
admitted load, lift height, size of cargo and adapted
range of attachment.
3. Operate the multi-functional attachment, such as
with side-shifter, clamp or rotator. It is not permitted
to do two actions at one time. Operate one action
and then do another one.
4. Forklift with attachment is not permitted to travel
with the cargo at a high position. If the size of cargo
is too big, prohibit the truck to move on. When
transporting the cargo, make sure that the distance
of bottom of cargo is 300 mm off the ground and
mast tilts backward.
5. The weight of cargo cannot exceed the limited value
of combination load capacity of forklift and
attachment. Partial load is not permitted at high
position. It is a short time work for attachment with
side-shifter. Partial load is around 100 mm (Above 5
ton, including 5 ton), the side-shifter shift level is
about 150mm.
6. In the range of the projection forth 2 m of the lower
of attachment and cargo, besides driver’s position
with overhead guard protection, it is not permitted to
stand to avoid accidents.
7. Do not apply hard brake to the forklift with
attachment during traveling. It is required to move
slowly if with loads.
8. Protect attachment being impacted by outside force.
Attachment is not permitted to be used in incorrect
situation and work over the normal working scope.
9. When the attachment occurs to fail, prohibit the use
without checking.
Do the following checks and maintenance frequently:
1. Do a check if the clearance between carriage beam
and down attachment hook meets requirement of
attachment manual.
2. Do a check if the upper hook is right in the flute of
fork carriage.
3. Use the auto general lithium grease per 500 hours
to bearing surface.
4. Do a check if the fastening pieces become flexible.
5. Do a check if each connector of hydraulic return line
loosens or the tube damages. Never use before
repairing the damage.
6. Do a check if the drive or turning component of
attachment frays or blocks. Change the damaged
part in time.
7. Under loading condition, do a check if each working
element, working pressure and working condition of
attachment is normal. If not, do a check of the
hydraulic return line, and find out the leaked part.
Change the sealing article or the whole return line.
5.2.3 ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY
Warning
1. Without technology licensing of our company, any
refit at safety and capability to attachment is strictly
not permitted.
2. Actual rating load capacity must be the least of
rated load capacity, the load capacity of attachment,
colligate load capacity of truck. Generally, the
colligate load capacity of truck is the least.
Attachment load capacity is just a count value of
attachment pressure.
3. Assembly must be reasonable, reliable and safe to
avoid the attachment gliding around the carriage
when using.
4. After hanging attachment, embed the rise catch
block to the gap of top beam. Let the offset of
centerline of attachment and carriage be less than
50 mm. Otherwise, it may affect the forklift lateral
stability.
5. To this attachment with rotating function, such as
paper roll clamp, bale clamp, multi-purpose clamp,
drum clamp, it is necessary to weld chock block in
the joint of carriage beam and attachment to
prevent moving from side to side in the operation.
6. Assemble the attachment with below catch
orientation. It is necessary to adjust the clearance
between the below catch and beam of carriage.
