STACKY operating and safety instructions 2012.12
F - PICKING UP A LOAD IN A STORAGE STRUCTURE
- As you approach the storage structure, slow the stacker to arrive at moderate speed,
- Position the stacker in front of its storage location,
- Check that no obstacle risks to be caught by the fork or the tool as it is raised,
- Raise the fork so that the underside is slightly higher than the bearing surface
(1) (fig . F1),
- Operate a butterfly control switch to move slowly forward and insert the fork under
the load up to its heel (2) (fig . F2), taking care not to knock against the storage
structure with the stacker . During this operation, the fork must not rub against the
bearing surface or the underside of the load (in which case the lifting belt would
slack) .
The centre of gravity of the load must be located on the centreline of the stacker .
- Slowly raise the load until it is lofted off the bearing surface (3) (fig . F2),
- Ensure that the area of manoeuvre is unobstructed,
- Slowly reverse the stacker to release the fork (4) (fig . F3), checking that it will not
catch any obstacle as it is lowered,
- Lower the load (5) (fig . F3) into the transport position, 150 mm from the ground .
In order to avoid the risk of destabilising or overturning the stacker during
these operations, take care not to :
• catch the load or tool,
• hit the bearing surface with the fork or the tool,
• drag the fork or tool across the bearing surface.
G - PICKING UP AND SETTING DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD (EXCEPT STACKY 14)
The stacker must be fitted with a special protective device when using the jib
arm tool : a non-return valve kit.
WARNING : Failure to follow the above instructions may lead the stacker to loose
stability and overturn.
CONDITIONS OF USE
- Jib arm is only to be used by trained personnel,
- The jib arm is only to be used indoors, on a flat, horizontal and smooth floor
and windless conditions,
- The load capacity must be halved relative to the stacker’s rated load capacity
(the jib arm characteristics take account of this),
- 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 (fig . G1) .
HANDLING WITHOUT MOVING THE STACKER
- Ensure that there is no one between the load and the stacker .
