D - Visibility - Manitou MT 733 EASY 75D ST5 S1 Operator's Manual

- Take into account the lift truck's dimensions and its load before trying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked:
• That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (wagon, lorry, etc.) will not shift.
• That this platform is prescribed for the total weight of the lift truck to be loaded.
• That this platform is prescribed for the size of the lift truck.
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the weight and size
of the lift truck to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft ground and manholes.
- Make sure the ground is stable and firm under the wheels and/or stabilizers before lifting or removing the load. If necessary,
add sufficient wedging under the stabilizers.
- Make sure that the scaffolding, loading platform, pilings or ground is capable of bearing the load.
- Never stack loads on uneven ground, they may tip over.
If the load or the attachment must remain above a structure for a prolonged period of time, there is the risk that it will bear on the structure as the boom descends due to
- Regularly check the distance between the load or the attachment and the structure and readjust this if necessary.
- When working near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the lift truck
and the aerial line.
You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the lift truck too close to power cables.
In the event of high winds, do not carry out handling work that jeopardises the stability of the lift truck and its load, particularly if the load catches the wind badly.
- Prevent fire risks associated with use in dusty and flammable conditions (e.g. straw, flour, sawdust, organic waste, etc.).
D - VISIBILITY
- The safety of people within the lift truck's working area, as well as that of the lift truck itself and the operator are depend
on good operator visibility of the lift truck's immediate vicinity in all situations and at all times.
- This lift truck has been designed to allow good operator visibility (direct or indirect by means of rear-view mirrors) of the
immediate vicinity of the lift truck during running operations, unladen and boom in the transport position.
- Special precautions must be taken if the size of the load restricts visibility towards the front:
• moving in reverse,
• site layout,
• assisted by a person directing the manoeuvre (while standing outside the truck's area of travel), making sure to keep
this person clearly in view at all times,
• in any case, avoid reversing over long distances.
- Certain special accessories may require the truck to travel with the boom in the raised position. In such cases, visibility
on the right hand side is restricted, and special precautions must be taken:
• site layout,
• assisted by a person directing the manoeuvre (while standing outside the truck's area of travel).
• replacement of a suspended load by a load on a pallet.
- If visibility of your road is inadequate, ask someone to assist by directing the manoeuvre (while standing outside the
truck's area of travel), making sure to keep this person clearly in view at all times.
- Keep all components affecting visibility in a clean, properly adjusted state and in good working order (e.g. windscreens,
windows, windscreen wipers, windscreen washers, driving and work lights, rear-view mirrors).
