Operating instructions
Please see chapter 7 for the daily maintenance schedule.
• The lifting device with attachment installed needs to be approved for use prior to
commissioning.
• Be sure to obtain the manufacturer’s certification concerning the residual capacity of the
lifting device, after installing the attachment.
6.2.1. Loading
• First, use the hydraulic levers to check which levers operate which function.
• Use all the functions several times with no load to check if they function normally and
smoothly.
• Before lifting a load, operate the bale gripper several times to remove air from the circuit.
• Make sure the load is positioned against the forkboard.
• Tighten the base load.
• Avoid excessive clamping pressure to avoid damaging the load.
• Ensure unclamped loads on top are stable and safely arranged prior to lifting and
transporting.
• Make sure that the load cannot move or fall. This can cause accidents.
1. Set the arms of your lifting device in the correct position and as
wide as possible for the load to be carried.
2. Set the lifting device with the attachment in front of the load to be
picked up.
3. Pick up the load parallel to the floor.
4. When moving your lifting device, lift the load 200 mm from the
ground. If you are using a lift truck, make sure you tilt the mast
backwards.
5. To unload, first bring the mast to a vertical position and then slowly
lower the arms.
