ANTI-TIP SYSTEM
The anti-tip system, fitted as standard on the machine, allows the operator to work in absolute safety. The
system continuously verifies the weight of the lifted and/or handled load in relation to the boom length
and inclination. If this exceeds a certain limit, the system immediately blocks any movements that are a
hazard to the boom. This is verified by means of a strain gauge cell which measures the bearing load
corresponding to the rear axle.
The display of the anti-tip system is found in the cabin on the
front part of the driver's seat.
When the machine is switched on, with the boom idle (not
extended and lowered completely), device operation is
indicated by the "Power" LED going on. The weight control
graphic display consists of a number of LEDs on a curved line in
a different colour.
The LEDs light up in sequence as the operational limits are
reached (0% - 100%).
Meaning of the LED colours:
o Green = regular load (2 LEDs)
o Yellow = pre-alarm (2 LEDs)
o Red = alarm (2 LEDs)
An intermittent acoustic signal is emitted when the yellow LED lights up.
When the red LED comes on, all movements of the boom are blocked and the frequency of the acoustic
signal increases.
Boom movements that have been inhibited by the anti-tip system during an alarm may have to be
temporarily reactivated in order to restore a hazardous situation.
In this case, you must use the red button on the right front dashboard and turn it.
This disconnects the anti-tip system for a maximum of 5 seconds and allows hard
movements. For this reason, the manoeuvre is enabled by an intentional and
maintained command (the operator must know what to do and the command
cannot be engaged accidentally), therefore, if released, the button returns to zero
and disables the controlled function.
Even if the machine is equipped with an anti-tip system, the operator must always follow the machine load
diagram that defines its operating limits.
The load diagram of the machine coupled with the fork accessory is always found inside the cabin. All other
load diagrams of the accessories compatible with the machine (authorised and/or supplied exclusively by
Snorkel) are available in the "Accessories" appendix. If the accessories are purchased at a later time (from
the dealer or directly from Snorkel), the user or the client must make sure to have the diagram relative to
the accessory in question, otherwise this must be requested from the dealer or directly from the
Manufacturer.
