M
D - LAYING A HIGH LOAD ON TYRES
Do not lift the jib under any circumstances if the lift truck is not laterally horizontal
(See paragraph : G - LATERAL HORIZONTALITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK in the chapter :
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD).
- Approach the load in the transport position in front of the pile (Fig. L).
- Lift and extend the jib (1) (2) until the load is above the pile, while keeping an eye on
the load status indicator (See paragraph : F - LOAD STATUS INDICATOR in the
chapter : INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD). If necessary, move the lift truck
(3) forward, driving very slowly and carefully. (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in the
chapter : INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK DURING HANDLING
OPERATIONS for visibility on the road). Put the handbrake on and set the reversing
lever to neutral.
- Place the load in a horizontal position and lay it down on the pile by lowering and
retracting the jib (1) (2) in order to position the load correctly (Fig. N).
- Free the forks by alternately retracting and lifting the jib (3) (Fig. N) or, if necessary, by
reversing the lift truck (3) (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in the chapter :
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK DURING HANDLING
OPERATIONS for visibility of the road). Then bring the jib into the transport position.
E - TAKING UP A NON PALLETISED LOAD
- Tilt the carriage (1) forwards and extend the jib (2) while simultaneously crowding the
carriage backwards to slip the forks under the load (Fig. O). If necessary, wedge the
load.
F - LOAD STATUS INDICATOR
- This device indicates the lift truck's frontal stability. Move the jib very carefully when
you are close to the authorised load limit (See chapter : INSTRUMENTS AND
CONTROLS in paragraph : 2 - DESCRIPTION).
- Always watch the load status indicator while handling a load.
If the load status indicator alarm is actived, it is forbidden carry out the movements
said to be "WORSENING", which are the following :
A - Extend the jib.
B - Lower the jib.
- If the load status indicator alarm is actived, carry out the positive movements in the
following order (Fig. P) :
1 - If necessary, lift the jib.
2 - Fully retract the jib.
3 - Lower the jib in order to lay the load.
NOTE : An OPTION hydraulic cut-off of movements exists, consult your dealer.
The read-out on the device may be false, if the steering is fully locked or if the rear
axle is fully swung round. Before lifting a load, always ensure that the steering is not
fully locked and that the rear axle is not fully swung round.
