• CARRIAGE WITH FLOATING FORKS
To install this attachment on the carriage, carry out the same operations
described
in paragraph "INSTALLATION OF QUICK-COUPLING
ATTACHMENTS" in this chapter.
Install this attachment on the carriage if the digging angle with the carriage in a
folded position is required to be 5° wider than the standard one offered by your
machine.
The installation of this attachment on the carriage implies the following reduction
of the load capacity shown in the load chart:
- Liftable load (W) with floating forks fitted on the carriage = machine load chart
"D" - attachment weight "P" shown on the attachment identification plate.
• FORK FOR CARRIAGE ATTACHMENT FEM III (ONLY FOR P37.12 PLUS - P38.12 PLUS - P38.13 PLUS - P38.14 PLUS -
P40.9 PLUS – P40.17 PLUS – P38.12 – P38.13 – P38.14 – P40.17 – P38.13EE – P40.17EE)
- Weight of a single fork: 83 kg
- Rated load capacity: 2150 kg
- Centre of gravity of the load ("P") from the fork heel: 500 mm
Assembly of forks on the FEM carriage is carried out as follows:
-
assemble the carriage FEM as described in the paragraph ASSEMBLY OF
ATTACHMENTS WITH QUICK COUPLING in this chapter
- position the machine with the carriage near the FEM forks
- lift the safety pin "A"
- insert the forks from the two extremities following the direction of the arrow
- arrange the forks in the desired position
- lower the safety pin "A" inserting it correctly in one of the slots provided on
the carriage
WARNING!
Always check to ensure that the
forks are correctly secured on the
carriage so as to prevent any
lateral
sliding and possible
escape.
Fitting this attachment demands a
reduction in the useful loads in the
diagram equal to the weight of the
FEM carriage.
