Before lifting a load
Before lifting a load, check the load capacity
diagram (1) on the engine cover.
The maximum capacity is determined by the
lifting height and the load centre distance.
NOTE
Check the load capacity limits and contact
your authorised dealer before transporting:
–
off-centre or swinging loads
–
loads with the mast tilted forwards or the
load not near the ground
–
loads beyond the centre of gravity
–
before operating attachments
–
loads at wind force 6 and higher
Transporting pallets
As a rule, loads (e.g. pallets) must be trans-
ported individually. Transporting multiple loads
at the same time is only permitted:
●
when instructed by the supervisor and
●
when the technical requirements have been
met.
The driver must ensure proper condition of the
load. Only safely and carefully positioned
loads may be transported.
Danger area
The danger area is the area in which people
are at risk due to the movements of the truck,
its working equipment, its load-carrying equip-
ment (e.g. attachments) or the load. Also in-
cluded are the areas where loads could fall or
working equipment could fall or be lowered.
