5 RULES GOVERNING USE 5 RULES GOVERNING USE Before using the equipment, check the tightness of the piping and the correctness of assembly and also the connection by performing a dozen preliminary operations. The following instructions must be followed when using the equipment: 1.
Page 28
5 RULES GOVERNING USE All A.T.I.B. equipment is designed and manufactured with a load positioned (with respect to its centre of gravity) at a certain distance from the vertical plane of the fork. If the distance of the centre of gravity from the vertical part of the fork needs to be increased, the weight of the load must be reduced.
Page 29
5 RULES GOVERNING USE The attainable sideshift may compromise the stability of the forklift truck. It is advisable to consult the manufacturer of the forklift truck to check the residual capacity of the forklift truck-equipment assembly. The condition of the road surface, the speed at which the load is handled and the elevation may all affect the load’s grip, which must be taken into account on a case-by-case basis.
This is the type most frequently used in “GRIPPER ROTATING 360° WITH WELDED FORKS TYPE 301.474.170 | WITH ROTATING FORKS TYPE 301.474.150 | WITH 4 FORKS TYPE 301.474.4” and uses the same cylinders that sideshift the forks. The stroke depends on the opening and will be equal to zero in maximum opening and minimum closing.
5 RULES GOVERNING USE 5.2 Handling Loads The minimum transportable dimensions must be greater than the minimum grip. Depending on the load to be transported, this difference may vary and must be evaluated on a case by case basis by the operator. Avoid handling and/or sideshift of the forklift truck/equipment with a load that is excessively high off the ground, as this may affect its stability.
6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Failure to comply with the rules and intervals established for maintenance will compromise the correct operation of the equipment and will void the conditions of the warranty. All maintenance operations must be carried out with the forklift truck stationary and the hydraulic circuit disconnected and depressurised.
6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 6.3 Maintenance Every 1000 Hours 1. Check condition of bushes and sliding gibs. If excessively worn component are detected, A.T.I.B. recommends replacing the entire component assembly in question. 2. Carry out the additional operations listed in the previous points (Points 6.1 and 6.2 on page 31).
6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 6.5 Rotation Device Maintenance 6.5.1 Maintenance Every 200 Hours 1. Check the hydraulic connections, replacing any worn parts. 2. Check the tightening torque of the bolts of the lower retaining hooks of the equipment and of the slewing ring wheel fastening bolts. 3.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE All maintenance operations must be carried out with the forklift truck stationary and the hydraulic circuit disconnected and depressurised.

7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.5.1 Disassembling and Reassembling the Fork Cylinders If the entire cylinder needs to be replaced, reassemble following the instructions listed in the previous point. If any cylinder components need to be replaced, proceed as indicated below: 1. Clamp the cylinder body in a vice using soft jaws (taking care not to deform the liner). 2.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.6 Removing the Sideshift Cylinder (siss) N.B. Although only type 301.474.170 is shown, the procedure for SIDESHIFT CYLINDER removing and disassembling the sideshift cylinder is identical for the other versions. 1. Release the pressure from the hydraulic system and disconnect the lines, ensuring that a tray or container is made available beneath the fittings to catch the oil in the cylinder.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.6.1 Disassembling and Reassembling the Sideshift Cylinder If the entire cylinder needs to be replaced, reassemble following the instructions listed in the previous point in reverse order (using the new cylinder). If any cylinder components need to be replaced, proceed as indicated below (see Figure 34): 1.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.7 Disassembling the Slewing Ring 1. Release the pressure from the hydraulic system and disconnect the lines. 2. Remove the equipment from the forklift truck (see Removing the Equipment from the Forklift Truck 3. Remove the gearbox and motor from the equipment (see Point 3 of chapter Disassembling the Gearbox and Motor 4.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.8 Disassembling the Gearbox and Motor 1. Release the pressure from the hydraulic system and disconnect the lines. 2.
