INTRODUCTION
- Your lift truck must be used with interchangeable equipment. These items are called: ATTACHMENTS.
- A wide range of attachments, specially designed and perfectly suitable for your lift truck is available and guaranteed by
MANITOU.
Only attachments approved by MANITOU are to be used on our lift trucks (see: 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS IN OPTION ON THE RANGE: TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS OF ATTACHMENTS). The manufacturer’s liability will be denied in case of modification or of attachment adaptation carried out without
his knowing it.
- The attachments are delivered with a load chart concerning your lift truck. The operator’s manual and the load chart should be
kept in the places provided in the lift truck. For standard attachments, their use is governed by the instructions contained on this
notice.
Maximum loads are defined by the capacity of a lift truck taking account of the attachment’s mass and centre of gravity. In the event of the attachment
having less capacity than the lift truck, never exceed this limit.
- Some particular uses require the adaptation of the attachment which is not provided in the price-listed options. Optional solutions
exist, consult your dealer.
Depending on their size, certain attachments may, when the jib is lowered and retracted, come into contact with the front tyres and cause damage
to them, if reverse tilt is activated in the forward tilt direction. TO REMOVE THIS RISK, EXTEND THE TELESCOPE TO A SUFFICIENT EXTENT FOR THE
PARTICULAR LIFT TRUCK AND ATTACHMENT SO THAT THIS CONTACT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
SUSPENDED LOAD
Suspended load MUST be handled with a lift truck designed for that purpose (see: 1 - OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: LOAD HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS:H-TAKING-UP AND SETTING-DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD).
USE THE SINGLE SIDE-SHIFT CARRIAGE
The single side-shift carriage (TSDL) is only compatible with the following attachments:
• floating fork carriage (TFF)
• tilting fork carriage (PFB)
• loading bucket (CBR)
• concrete bucket (BB, BBG)
• spout bucket (GL)
• crane jib and crane jib with winch (P, PT, PO, PC)
• winch (H)
• fixed platform, swivelling platform, roofer’s platform.
It is prohibited to use any other attachments on the TSDL.
Attachments authorised for use on the TSDL must comply strictly with the applications for which they are designed.
It is prohibited to use them for any other application (for example, earth moving, excavation, desurfacing, back scraping, etc. for the loading bucket
CBR) or any application placing abnormal stress on the structure of the TSDL: risk of deformation which could cause the load to fall.
USE THE BUCKETS
The MT 1440/1840 E3, are lift trucks essentially intended for handling. Occasional use with the buckets CBC/CBR/CB4x1 is authorised (only with the
jib completely retracted, in order to reduce stress on the jib head), but under no circumstances is intensive use for difficult applications (quarry, waste,
cereals, agriculture, etc) permissible. In addition, on the MT 1840 E3 the back scraping is forbidden to reduce additional stress on the inner jib chains.
