Use and operation Handling loads Handling loads Safety regulations when handing loads The safety regulations for handling loads are shown in the following sections. DANGER There is a risk to life caused by falling loads or if parts of the truck are being lowered. –...
Use and operation Handling loads Load centre distance refers to the distance be- tween the vertical plane of the fork arms and the centre of gravity of the loads(1). NOTE The centre of gravity of a load is not necessa- rily located at the central point of the load it- self.
Use and operation Handling loads – Before operating an attachment, read the load capacity data plate on the attachment. Before lifting a load Before lifting a load, check the load capacity diagram (1) on the engine cover. The maximum capacity is determined by the lifting height and the load centre distance.
Use and operation Handling loads included are the areas where loads could fall or working equipment could fall or be lowered. DANGER Risk of injury! – Do not step on the fork. DANGER Risk of injury! – Do not step under the raised forks. DANGER People may be injured in the danger area of the truck!
Page 87
Use and operation Handling loads Tipping the truck at right angles to the direc- ● tion of travel Risk of crushing of guide persons ● Reduced visibility. ● DANGER Loss of stability. Slipping or swinging suspended loads can lead to a loss of stability and cause the truck to tip over.
Use and operation Handling loads Adjusting the fork arm distance – Raise the knob (2) and rotate it by 90°. – Adjust the fork arms (1) according to the di- mensions of the load to be lifted. – Ensure that an equal distance is maintained from both fork arms to the centre line of the fork carriage.
Use and operation Handling loads Picking up a load DANGER The truck may tip over if the load is too heavy. Before picking up the load, check that the dimen- sions and weight of the load lie within the permitted range for the truck.
Page 90
Use and operation Handling loads – Position the forks. – Set the lift mast to vertical. – Lift the fork carriage to the stacking height. DANGER Risk of accident due to changed moment of tilt! If a truck is operated with a forwards tilt (variant) of more than 3°, there is a greater risk of the load slip- ping when the load is raised or lowered.
Page 91
Use and operation Handling loads – Lift the fork carriage until the load is resting entirely on the fork. NOTE The lifting speed can be increased by adjust- ing the engine speed. Refer to the chapter en- titled "Increasing the lifting speed". DANGER Risk of accident! –...
Page 92
Use and operation Handling loads – Tilt the lift mast backwards. The load can now be transported. 5060_003-101 Increasing the lifting speed – Fully depress the brake Inching pedal (1) and hold it down. The drive wheels are now uncoupled from the engine.
Use and operation Handling loads Transporting loads NOTE Observe the information in the chapter entitled "Safety regulations when driving". DANGER The higher a load is lifted, the less stable it be- comes. The truck can tip over or the load can fall, increasing the risk of accident! Driving with a raised load and the lift mast tilted for- ward is not permitted.
Use and operation Handling loads – Never drive with a load protruding to the side (e.g. with the sideshift)! 6210_800-014 Driving on ascending and descend- ing gradients DANGER Danger to life! Driving on ascending and descending gradients car- ries special dangers! –...
Use and operation Handling loads – Reduce the driving speed on descending gradients. It is not permitted to drive on long ascending and descending gradients greater than 15% due to the specified minimum braking and sta- bility values. – Before driving on ascending and descend- ing gradients greater than 15%, consult the authorised service centre.
Use and operation Handling loads Determining the actual total weight – Park the truck securely. – Determine the unit weights by reading the truck nameplate and, if necessary, the at- tachment (variant) nameplate and, if neces- sary, by weighing the load to be lifted. –...

Use and operation Handling loads WARNING Risk of accident from a falling load! If the fork or the load remains suspended during low- ering, the load may fall. – When removing a load from storage, move the truck far enough back so that the load and the fork can be lowered freely.
Use and operation Towed load Towed load DANGER There is an increased risk of accident when using a trailer. Using a trailer changes the truck handling character- istics. When towing, operate the truck such that the trailer train can be safely driven and braked at all times.
Use and operation Forklift towing This truck is suitable for the occasional towing of trailers. If the truck is equipped with a tow- ing device, this occasional towing must not ex- ceed 2% of the daily operating time. If the truck is to be used for towing on a more regu- lar basis, the manufacturer should be consul- ted.
