INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD
A - CHOICE OF ATTACHMENTS
- Only attachments approved and authorized by MANITOU can be used on these machines.
- Make sure the attachment is appropriate for the work to be done ( ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS AVAILABLE ON THE
RANGE).
- Make sure the attachment is correctly installed and locked onto the machine carriage.
- Make sure that your machine attachments are working properly.
- Comply with the load chart limits for the machine 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, as there is a risk of the sling slipping (

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD: H - LIFTING UP AND SETTING DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD).
B - WEIGHT OF LOAD AND CENTER OF GRAVITY
- Before picking up a load, you must know its weight and its center of gravity.
- The load chart for your machine is valid for a load in which the longitudinal position
of the center of gravity is 500mm from the base of the forks (fig. B1). For loads with
center of gravity exceeding this distance, contact your dealer.
- For irregular loads, determine the transverse center of gravity before any handling
(fig. B2) and set it in the longitudinal axis of the machine.

IMPORTANT

It is forbidden to handle a load heavier than the effective capacity defined on the machine load chart.
For loads with a moving center of gravity (e.g. liquids), take account of the variations in the center 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.
C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE
This device gives an indication of the longitudinal stability of the machine, and limits
hydraulic movements in order to ensure this stability, at least under the following
operating conditions:
• When the machine is at a standstill,
• When the machine is on firm, stable and consolidated ground,
• When the machine is performing handling and placing operations.
- Move the boom very carefully when approaching the authorized load limit (

DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Always watch this device during handling operations.
- If the "AGGRAVATING" hydraulic movements are cut off, perform only de-aggravating
hydraulic movements in the following order (Fig. C): if necessary, raise the boom (1),
retract the boom as far as possible (2) and lower the boom (3) to put down the load.

IMPORTANT

The instrument reading may be erroneous when the steering is fully turned.
Before lifting a load, ensure that the machine is not in this condition.
