2 INTRODUCTION The A.T.I.B. – “LOAD EXTENDER TYPE 600” was designed and built to allow the handling and positioning of double-deep palletized goods, by to the extension and retraction, for limited strokes, of the fork holder structure. This equipment must be applied on the fork holding plate of the forklift the lift truck and the forks, and connected to the distributor by means of a hydraulic circuit.

3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Installation 3.1.1 Attachment installation - Standard STANDARD 1. Before installation, verify the condition of the fork carriage, ensuring that it is not deformed. 2. Also make sure that the profiles of the fork holding plate are not deformed, in order to allow a good coupling with the equipment.

5 USE RULES 5 USE RULES Before using the equipment, check the tightness of the pipes and the correctness of assembly and connection by performing about ten preliminary operations. When using the equipment, it is necessary to follow the instructions listed below: 1.
Page 15
5 USE RULES Every ATIB attachments are projected and constructed according to a load positioned (as regards its centre of gravity) at a certain distance from vertical part of the fork. If you need to increase the distance of the center of gravity as regards vertical part of the fork you have to reduce the weight of the load.
Page 16
5 USE RULES The affordable stroke can compromise the stability of the forklift. To check the nominal capacity of the combination forklift – attachment ask the producer of the forklift. The condition of the soil, the quickness of the movement of the load and the lifting height can affect the hold of the load and must be taken into consideration as regards specific occasions.
5 USE RULES 5.1 Load handling Avoid handling and / or translation of the forklift / equipment with the load excessively raised from the ground, this could compromise the stability of the forklift itself. Avoid moving / handling unstable loads. Avoid moving / handling loads with center of gravity not centered.
6 PERIODIC MAINTENACE 6 PERIODIC MAINTENACE Failure to adhere to the norms and established times for maintenance operations, will be detrimental to the good functioning of the equipment and will annul the guarantee conditions. All maintenance operations must be carried out with the forklift motionless and the hydraulic circuit not activated, perimeter the entire maintenance area, using the necessary protective devices and, if it is necessary to disassemble the cylinders, always using a tray or container to recover the oil still present in the cylinder itself.
6 PERIODIC MAINTENACE 6.3 Maintenance every 1000 hours 1. Check the condition of upper and lower sliding devices if an excessively worn component is found, it is recommended to replace the entire assembly of the component in question. 2. Check the condition of the sliding bearings. 3.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE All maintenance operations must be carried out with the forklift stopped and with the hydraulic circuit not connected and not under pressure, surrounding the entire maintenance area, using the necessary protection devices and, if it is necessary to disassemble the cylinders, always using a tray or container to recover the oil still present in the cylinder itself.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.2 Push unit disassembly N.B. During this phase, be sure to take all necessary precautions to avoid / prevent any sudden movements of the arms, which, once released (even partially) due to removal of the pins, could move in a dangerous way.

7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 3. Remove the front frame. At this point it will be enough to remove it from above, as it is "bound" to the equipment only by the bearings of the pair of arms indicated in Picture 8. Picture 8 Pag.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.2.2 Harms removal HARMS 1. Relieve the pressure of the hydraulic system and disconnect the pipes. 2. Remove the front frame from the equipment as explained in the previous chapter. 3. Remove the pins (with relative screws and ring nuts) that lock the pair of arms ( Picture 9). Picture 9 Pag.
