Still RCD25, Original Instructions Manual

Page: 88 / 176

–
Adjust the fork arms (1) according to the di-
mensions of the load to be lifted.
–
Ensure that an equal distance is maintained
from both fork arms to the centre line of the
fork carriage.
–
Ensure that the fork arms are locked in one
of the grooves on the fork carriage using
the knob (2).
CAUTION
For greater load stability, the distance between the
two fork arms must be as large as possible while re-
maining consistent with the lifting points of the load,
so that the load centre of gravity is between the fork
arms.
CAUTION
For greater load stability, the position of the fork
arms must be as symmetrical as possible with re-
spect to the centre of the fork carriage.
Picking up a load
DANGER
The truck may tip over if the load is too heavy.
Before picking up the load, check that the dimen-
sions and weight of the load lie within the permitted
range for the truck. This information can be found on
the capacity rating plate.
DANGER
There is a risk to life caused by a falling load or if
parts of the truck are being lowered.
–
Never walk or stand underneath suspended loads
or raised fork arms.
–
Never exceed the maximum load values specified
on the capacity rating plate. Otherwise, stability
cannot be guaranteed.
–
Only store pallets that do not exceed the
specified maximum size. Damaged loading
equipment and incorrectly formed loads
must not be stored.
