H - PICKING UP AND SETTING DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD
IMPORTANT
WARNING: Failure to follow the above instructions may lead the machine to lose stability and overturn.
MUST be used with a machine equipped with an operational hydraulic movement cut-off device.
CONDITIONS OF USE
- 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.
HANDLING WITHOUT MOVING THE MACHINE
- Whether on stabilizers or on tires, the lateral attitude must not exceed 1% and the longitudinal attitude must not exceed
5%: the bubble of the level must be held at "0".
- Ensure that the wind speed is not higher than 10m/s.
- Ensure that there is no one between the load and the machine.
I - TRAVELING WITH A SUSPENDED LOAD
- Before moving, inspect the terrain in order to avoid excessive slopes and cross-falls, bumps and potholes, or soft ground.
- Ensure that the wind speed is not higher than 36km/h.
- The machine must not travel at more than 0.4m/s (1.5km/h, i.e. one quarter walking speed).
- Drive and stop the machine gently and smoothly to minimize swinging of the load.
- Carry the load a few centimeters above the ground (max. 30 cm) with the shortest possible boom length. Do not exceed
the offset indicated on the load chart. If the load begins to swing excessively, do not hesitate to stop and lower the boom
to set down the load.
- Before moving the machine, check the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device ( DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS
AND CONTROLS), only the first 2 segments of the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device level indicator should
be lit.
- During transport, the lift truck operator must be assisted by a person on the ground (standing a minimum of 3m from
the load), who will limit swinging of the load using a bar or a rope. Ensure that this person is always clearly in view.
- The lateral attitude must not exceed 5%: the bubble in the level must be kept between the two "MAX" marks.
- The longitudinal attitude must not exceed 15% with the load facing uphill and 10% with the load facing downhill.
- The boom angle must not exceed 45°.
- If the fourth bar of the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device ( DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS)
comes on while traveling, gently bring the machine to a halt and stabilize the load. Retract the telescope to reduce the
offset of the load.
