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 suitable for the work to be done (
RANGE).
- If the lift truck is equipped with the single side-shift carriage OPTION (TSDL), use only the authorised attachments
e
( 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS AS OPTIONS ON 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 slung load without the attachment provided for the purpose, as there is a risk of the sling slipping (
FOR HANDLING A LOAD: H - PICKING UP AND PUTTING DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD).
- Do not handle loads suspended by straps directly on the forks (e.g.:big bags), as there is a risk of shearing on sharp edges.
Use an attachment designed for this purpose.
B - WEIGHT OF LOAD AND CENTRE OF GRAVITY
- Before picking up a load, you must know its mass and its centre of gravity.
- The longitudinal position of the centre of gravity in relation to the heel of the forks
(Fig. B1) is defined on the load chart concerning your lift truck (
DIMENSIONS AND LOAD CHARTS). For a higher centre of gravity consult your dealer.
- For irregular loads, determine the transverse centre of gravity before any handling
(fig. B2) and place it in the longitudinal axis of the lift truck.
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 extra vigilant and careful to limit these variations as far as possible.
C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE
This device gives an indication of the longitudinal stability of the lift truck, and limits
hydraulic movements in order to ensure this stability, at least under the following
operating conditions:
• when the lift truck is at a standstill,
• when the lift truck is on firm, stable and consolidated ground,
• when the lift truck is performing handling and placing operations.
- Move the boom very carefully when approaching the authorised load limit
e
( 2 - DESCRIPTION: COMMAND AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS).
- 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.
The instrument reading may be erroneous when the steering is at full lock or the rear axle is oscillated to its maximum extent.
