3.3 LIFTING LOADS
3.3.1 READING THE LOAD CHARTS
DANGER
• Load charts are specific for each equipment installed and refer to the machine at rest on the wheels or
the stabilizers, if provided, in any case always with levelled frame (if the frame levelling function is in-
cluded) and in WORK operating mode.
• Only the load chart corresponding to the specific configuration of the machine must be used.
• For lifting operations with the machine resting on the wheels, make sure that the inflation pressures are
those indicated for the type of tyres used (see «5.1 TECHNICAL DATA»).
• Change any damaged chart and introduce those specific for the optional equipment added after the pur-
chase of the machine.
1 - The load charts (1) are located on the dashboard and to use
them it is necessary to know the mass or weight to be lifted.
3.3.1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE LOAD CHARTS
The charts are of the type with concentric angular sectors marked by letters (A –> G), inserted in a guide network
for the quick identification of the values expressed in meters for the boom length covered by each sector; all the
sectors are divided in 10° angle lines.
DANGER
• Machine instability can result in injury or death.
To ensure stability during operation the following conditions must be observed:
a - Tires must be correctly inflated (see «5.1.2 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS»).
b - The machine frame must be level (if the machine is equipped with frame levelling or stabilizer).
c - The frame level switch must never be operated when the boom is raised.
d - The frame level switch must never be operated when stabilizers are lowered.
e - Stabilizer swicthes must never be operated when the boom is raised.
f - The correct load chart for the machine as equipped must be referenced and the weights and load
centers specified must never exceeded.
g - The machine must never be moved when the boom is raised.
• If the parameters indicated above exceed the left limit of the area, avoid lifting the load even if the green
(3-4) and yellow (5-6) warning lights of the SLI-Safe Load Indicator are on (see «3.2.5 MACHINE CON-
TROLS» - pos. 7 - SLI-SAFE LOAD INDICATOR).
NOTE
• The SLI-Safe Load Indicator indicates only the front stability and not the lateral stability or the maximum
structural stress limit
