STACKY operating and safety instructions 2012.12
F - PICKING UP A LOAD IN A STORAGE STRUCTURE
- As you approach the storage structure, slow the stacker to arrive at moderate speed,
- Position the stacker in front of its storage location,
- Check that no obstacle risks to be caught by the fork or the tool as it is raised,
- Raise the fork so that the underside is slightly higher than the bearing surface
(1) (g.F1),
- Operate a buttery control switch to move slowly forward and insert the fork under
the load up to its heel (2) (g. F2), taking care not to knock against the storage
structure with the stacker. During this operation, the fork must not rub against the
bearing surface or the underside of the load (in which case the lifting belt would
slack).
The centre of gravity of the load must be located on the centreline of the stacker.
- Slowly raise the load until it is lofted o the bearing surface (3) (g. F2),
- Ensure that the area of manoeuvre is unobstructed,
- Slowly reverse the stacker to release the fork (4) (g. F3), checking that it will not
catch any obstacle as it is lowered,
- Lower the load (5) (g. F3) into the transport position, 150 mm from the ground.
In order to avoid the risk of destabilising or overturning the stacker during
these operations, take care not to :
•catch the load or tool,
•hit the bearing surface with the fork or the tool,
•drag the fork or tool across the bearing surface.
G - PICKING UP AND SETTING DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD (EXCEPT STACKY 14)
The stacker must be tted with a special protective device when using the jib
arm tool : a non-return valve kit.
WARNING : Failure to follow the above instructions may lead the stacker to loose
stability and overturn.
CONDITIONS OF USE
- Jib arm is only to be used by trained personnel,
- The jib arm is only to be used indoors, on a at, horizontal and smooth oor
and windless conditions,
- The load capacity must be halved relative to the stacker’s rated load capacity
(the jib arm characteristics take account of this),
- 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 (g.G1).
HANDLING WITHOUT MOVING THE STACKER
- Ensure that there is no one between the load and the stacker.
