D - Transverse Attitude Of The Lift Truck; E - Picking Up A Load On The Ground - Manitou MT 733 EASY 75D ST5 S1 Operator's Manual

D - TRANSVERSE ATTITUDE OF THE LIFT TRUCK
Depending on the model of lift truck
The transverse attitude is the transverse slope of the chassis with respect to the horizontal.
Raising the boom reduces the lift truck's lateral stability. The transverse attitude must
be set with the boom in down position as follows:
1 - LIFT TRUCK WITHOUT LEVELLING USED ON TYRES
- Position the lift truck so that the spirit level bubble is between the two lines
e
( 2 - DESCRIPTION: COMMAND AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS).
2 - LIFT TRUCK WITH LEVELLING USED ON TYRES
- Correct the tilt using the hydraulic control and check the horizontality with the spirit
level. The bubble in the level must be between the two lines (
COMMAND AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS).
3 - LIFT TRUCK USED ON STABILISERS
- Put the two stabilisers on the ground and raise the two front wheels of the lift
truck (fig. D1).
- Correct the tilt using the stabilisers (fig. D2) and check the horizontality with the
spirit level. The bubble of the level must be between the two lines (
INSTRUMENTS). In this position, the two front wheels must be off the ground.
E - PICKING UP A LOAD ON THE GROUND
- Approach the lift truck perpendicular to the load, with the boom retracted and
the forks horizontal (fig. E1).
- Adjust the fork spacing and centring relative to the load to ensure stability (fig. E2)
(optional solutions exist, consult your dealer).
- Never lift a load with a single fork.
Beware of the risks of trapping or squashing limbs when manually adjusting the forks.
- Move the lift truck forward slowly (1) and bring the forks up to the stop in front of
the load (fig. E3). If necessary, slightly lift the boom (2) while picking up the load.
- Bring the load into the transport position.
- Tilt the load far enough backwards to ensure stability (loss of load on braking or
going downhill).
FOR A NON-PALLETISED LOAD
- Tilt the carriage (1) forwards and move the lift truck slowly forwards (2), to insert
the fork under the load (fig. E4) (chock the load if necessary).
- Continue to move the lift truck forwards (2) tilting the carriage (3) (fig. E4) backwards
to place the load on the forks and ensure the load's longitudinal and lateral stability.
