H - TAKING UP AND LAYING DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD
WARNING: Failure to follow the above instructions may lead the lift truck to loose stability and overturn.
MUST be used with a lift truck equipped with an operational hydraulic movement cut-out device.
CONDITIONS OF USE
- The length of the sling or the chain shall be as short as possible to limit swinging of the load.
- Lift the load vertically along its axis, never by pulling sideways or lengthways.
HANDLING WITHOUT MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK
- Whether on stabilisers or on tyres, the lateral attitude must not exceed 1 % and the longitudinal attitude must not exceed 5%, the bubble
of the level must be held at “0”.
- Ensure that the wind speed is not higher than 10 m/s.
- Ensure that there is no one between the load and the lift truck.
I - TRAVELLING WITH A SUSPENDED LOAD
- Before moving, inspect the terrain in order to avoid excessive slopes and cross-falls, bumps and potholes, or soft ground.
- Ensure that the wind speed is not higher than 10 m/s.
- The lift truck must not travel at more than 0.4 m/s (1.5 km/h, i.e., one quarter walking speed).
- Drive and stop the lift truck gently and smoothly to minimise swinging of the load.
- Carry the load a few centimetres above the ground (max. 30 cm) the shortest possible jib length. Do not exceed the offset indicated on
the load chart. If the load begins to swing excessively, do not hesitate to stop and lower the jib to set down the load.
- Before moving the lift truck, check the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND
CONTROLS), only the green LEDs and possibly the yellow LEDs should be lit.
- During transport, the lift truck operator must be assisted by a person on the ground (standing a minimum of 3 m from the load), who will
limit swinging of the load using a bar or a rope. Ensure that this person is always clearly in view.
- The lateral attitude must not exceed 5%, the bubble in the level must be kept between the two “MAX.” marks
- The longitudinal attitude must not exceed 15%, with the load facing uphill, and 10%, with the load facing downhill.
- The jib angle must not exceed 45°.
- If the first red LED of the longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS) comes
on while travelling, gently bring the lift truck to a stop and stabilise the load. Retract the telescope to reduce the offset of the load.
