F - TAKING UP AND LAYING A HIGH LOAD ON TYRES
IMPORTANT
You must not raise the jib if you have not checked the transverse attitude of the lift truck (see: INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HANDLING A LOAD: D - TRANSVERSE ATTITUDE OF THE LIFT TRUCK).
REMINDER: Make sure that the following operations can be performed with good
visibility (see: OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS UNLADEN AND LADEN: D
- VISIBILITY).
TAKING UP A HIGH LOAD ON TYRES
- Ensure that the forks will easily pass under the load.
- Lift and extend the jib (1) (2) until the forks are level with the load, moving the lift
truck (3) forward if necessary (fig. F1), moving very slowly and carefully.
- Always remember to keep the distance necessary for inserting the forks under the
load, between the stack and the lift truck (fig. F1) and use the shortest possible
length of jib.
- Insert the forks under the load as far as they will go by alternately extending and
lowering the jib (1) or, if necessary, moving the lift truck forward (2) (fig. F2). Apply
the handbrake and place the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Slightly raise the load (1) and tilt the carriage (2) backwards to stabilize the load
(fig. F3).
- Tilt the load sufficiently backwards to ensure its stability.
- 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 back down in the place from which it was taken.
- If possible lower the load without shifting the lift truck. Lift the jib (1) to release the
load, retract (2) and lower the jib (3) to bring the load into the transport position
(fig. F4).
- If this is not possible, back up the lift truck (1), manoeuvring very gently and
carefully to release the load. Retract (2) and lower the jib (3) to bring the load into
the transport position (fig. F5).
