TAKING UP A HIGH LOAD ON STABILIZERS
- Make sure the forks will fit easily under the load.
- Check the position of the lift truck with respect to the load and make a test run, if
necessar y, without taking the load.
- Raise and extend the jib (1) (2) until the forks are at the level of the load (fig. G5).
- Block the forks in front of the load by alternately using the controls to extend and lower
the jib (1) (fig. G6).
- Lift the load slightly (1) and tilt the carriage (2) backwards to stabilise the load (fig. G7).
- Monitor the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HANDLING A LOAD: C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE). If it is
overloaded, set the load down in the place from where it was taken.
- If possible lower the load without moving the lift truck. Raise the jib (1) to release the load,
retract (2) and lower the jib (3) to set the load into transpor t position (fig. G8).
LAYING A HIGH LOAD ON STABILIZERS
- Raise and extend the jib (1) (2) until the load is above the elevation (fig. G9), while
monitoring the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HANDLING A LOAD: C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE).
- Position the load horizontally and release it by lowering and retracting the jib (1) (2) to
position the load correctly (fig. G10).
- Release the forks by alternating retracting and raising the jib (3) (fig. G11).
- If possible, set the jib in transpor t position without moving the lift truck.
