TAKING UP A HIGH LOAD ON STABILISERS
- Ensure that the forks will easily pass under the load.
- Check the position of the lift truck with respect to the load and make a test run,
if necessary, without taking the load.
- Raise and extend the jib (1) (2) until the forks are at the level of the load (fig. G5).
- Insert the forks under the load as far as they will go by alternately extending and
lowering the jib (1) (fig. G6).
- Lift the load slightly (1) and tilt the carriage (2) backwards to stabilise the load (fig. G7).
- Monitor the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HANDLING A LOAD: C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE).
If it is overloaded, set the load back down in the place from which it was taken.
- If possible lower the load without moving the lift truck. Raise the jib (1) to release the
load, retract (2) and lower the jib (3) to set the load into transport position (fig. G8).
LAYING A HIGH LOAD ON STABILISERS
- Raise and extend the jib (1) (2) until the load is above the elevation (fig. G9), while
monitoring the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HANDLING A LOAD: C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING
DEVICE).
- Position the load horizontally and release it by lowering and retracting the jib (1)
(2) to position the load correctly (fig. G10).
- Free the forks by alternating retracting and raising the jib (3) (fig. G11).
- If possible, set the jib in transport position without moving the lift truck.
