GENERAL NORMS OF SAFETY
THE OPERATOR HAS THE AUTHORITY TO..:
!
To prevent the use about a non-authorized personal of the stacker for which he is
responsible; non-authorized means the personal not having the necessary
competence for using the stacker and not having the previous approval of the
surveyor.
!
To prevent anybody to stay on or under the risen forks, with load or without load.
GENERAL NORMS FOR CIRCULATION
!
During the transportation is prohibited to lift or lower the load; during the lifting /
lowering operations (only with stopped stacker) the personal should move off
.
!
The stackers serve for transport of materials and not for the transport of persons (the
stackers without the appropriate platform) : therefore is strictly prohibited to use them
for lifting persons.
!
Maintain always a safety distance not less 3 times the length of the stacker respect
the preceding vehicle.
!
Avoid the circulation in places where the access height is under that one of the
stacker or of the column (reference “H mast closed” page 5).
!
The stacker could use lifts and devices for loading only with specific authorization;
always control that the load capacity of the device is not smaller than the complex
weight of the stacker with load. Always enter into the lift with forward movement, do
not stay in risk areas and before to operate the lift check if the stacker is brake.
!
Use the horn to inform the other people of your presence.
!
Reduce the speed near to crossing or other places where the visibility is diminished or
is threatened; move backward if the load impedes the visibility;
!
The stacker is not approved for circulation on public roads, where the Road
Circulation Rules are applied: therefore is strictly forbidden to drive the stacker on
such roads.
!
Adapt always the speed to the conditions of the way you are going on, to the visibility
degree and to the load; avoid abrupt acceleration or deceleration or entering curves
at high speed: there is a risk to loose the load and to create danger for the operator
and other persons.
!
In the narrow places check if there is enough place for the stacker, for the load and for
the operator: pay attention in curves the posterior part of the stacker needs more
space. If such ways exist, follow always the special ways for stackers.
!
It is advised to avoid the circulation in the vicinity of risk areas as platform borders,
bridges or similar places; pay particular attention to the danger signals.
!
Execute loading or unloading operations in a place where it is necessary to get on a
lorry, check previously if:
1) the capacity of the ramp is adequate to the weight of the stacker with load
2) the ramp is properly anchored
3) the vehicle to be loaded is properly blocked by wedges at wheels or similar
devices.

GENERAL NORMS OF SAFETY
!
When the work conditions differ from the testing ones (as is the case of piling on
inclined surface) there should be undertaken the following measures:
1) if the extraordinary conditions have a permanent character, to undertake
measures agreed with the surveyor and with the competent persons;
2) if the extraordinary conditions have a provisory character, use a stacker with a
bigger admissible load or diminish the load.
!
In case of descent circulation is obligatory to move the stacker in reverse direction
with the operator by the side of the stacker to avoid possible overturn.
!
In the case of a stop (even a short one) it is recommended to lower the lifting group at
the minimum possible height and to take out the start key.
!
The stop in descent plane is to avoid; in case of necessity, turn the r wheel in a
perpendicular position to the sense of movement and block the stacker with nails
!
It is prohibited to stand in the vicinity of gates, passages, curves or places where the
stacker could represent an obstacle for other transport means.
ABRUPT DEPARTURE, BRAKING AND DRIVING
At an abrupt braking, the moment of overturn at the front rollers increases due to the
inertia force: if the load is in lifted position or it was risen without a maximum stability on
the lifting group a situation of potential fall of the material is created.
More is the acceleration and the deceleration give to the stacker during the load
movement, more is the risk of overturn caused by the inertia force.
LOAD TRANSPORT
During the transport the load must be maintained at the lowest possible level (maximum
30 cm from the soil) and completely leaned on the head of the lifting group (see figure A
hereunder).
