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.
Observe the capacity limits of the equipment.
2.
Do not use the equipment when people or animals are within the range of action of the
forklift.
3.
Do not try to lift loads by clamping them between the two forks.
4.
Do not try to move loads sideways by sliding them on the ground.
5.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure value indicated on the identification plate.
6.
Operate the equipment from the driver's seat of the forklift by a single operator.
7.
Act gently on the translation control lever, avoiding water hammer as much as possible.
8.
Any operation relating to installation, use and maintenance must be performed by
specialized personnel equipped with appropriate equipment for the type of intervention
to be carried out.
9.
Carry out maintenance and / or repair operations with the forklift stopped and with the
hydraulic circuit not active, using suitable protective equipment (gloves, safety shoes,
etc.).
10.
Operate the piston rods only when they are correctly mounted on the equipment;
Otherwise, the piston rods could be violently ejected by the oil pressure.
The considered acoustic pressure level is lower than 70 dB (A).
Should the equipment be subject to slight errors in the movement synchronism between the
two forks, these movement differences, which will add up in time, will have to be annulled by
an operator, it will be sufficient for the operator to keep one of the two forks at the opening or
closing end stroke, for the necessary time it will take for the other fork to recuperate the
difference in movement accumulated.
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.
