17 (36) 6. Working with pallet forks Check the attachment and the operating environment once more before starting to work, and that all obstacles have been removed from the operating area. Quick inspection of the equipment and the operating area before use are parts of ensuring safety and the best performance of the equipment.
18 (36) Risk of falling from height and crushing under bucket or loader - Never use a bucket as a lifting platform or to carry people. Never use the loader or its attachments to lift WARNING persons or as any kind of work platform even temporarily. Never climb on the attachment.
For creating the load charts, the following distances are used as the center of gravity of the load on the pallet forks. The distance depends on the loader model as shown below: 200 series loaders 400 series loaders 400 mm Avant 523 Other loader models 500 mm...
Page 20
20 (36) This distance is the horizontal distance between the vertical face of fork arm and the center of gravity of the load on pallet forks. Note that the vertical position of the load is not directly relevant to lifting capacity of the loader, but high vertical position of a load will decrease the lateral stability of the loader.
22 (36) 6.3 Rated Operating Capacity Rated Operating Capacity is the maximum allowed load for each loader model when taking into account the conditions listed below. The Rated Operating Capacity is determined as 60% of the tipping load in the position indicated in the figures and tables in this chapter.
Page 23
23 (36) Risk of tipping over - Observe the Rated Operating Capacity of the loader. The maximum load that can be lifted with a loader, the Rated Operating Capacity, depends on several factors, such as the following: The model of the loader and the pallet fork WARNING In this operator's manual the ROC is calculated without the rear guard installed.
