- For irregular loads, determine the transverse centre of gravity before handling and
position it within the longitudinal axis of the lift truck.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD
A - CHOICE OF ATTACHMENTS
- Only attachments approved by MANITOU can be used on its lift trucks.
- Make sure the attachment is appropriate for the work to be done ( OPTIONAL ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS FOR THE
RANGE).
- Make sure the attachment is correctly installed and locked onto the lift truck carriage.
- Make sure that your lift truck attachments work properly.
- Comply with the load chart limits for the lift truck for the attachment used.
- Do not exceed the rated capacity of the attachment.
- Never lift a load in a sling without the attachment provided for the purpose. There are optional solutions, contact your
dealer.
B - WEIGHT OF LOAD AND CENTRE OF GRAVITY
IMPORTANT
It is forbidden to move a load heavier than the effective capacity defined on the lift truck load chart.
For loads with a moving centre of gravity (e.g. liquids), take account of the variations in the centre of gravity in order to determine the load to be handled and be vigilant
and take extra care to limit these variations as much as possible.
- Before picking up a load, you must know its weight and its centre of gravity.
- The load chart for your lift truck is valid for a load of which the centre of gravity in
the longitudinal direction is 500 or 600mm from the heel of the forks
(according to
the model of lift truck)
. For a higher centre of gravity, contact your dealer.
C - TRANSVERSE ATTITUDE OF THE LIFT TRUCK
The transverse attitude is the transverse angle of the frame relative to a horizontal plane.
Raising the mast reduces the lift truck's lateral stability. The transverse attitude must be set with the mast in down position
as follows:
- Position the lift truck so that the bubble in the level is between the two lines (
