OPERATION 71
Use and Maintenance Manuals of the individual
accessories.
During operation, the forklift truck is subjected to a
number of stresses that can affect its stability and
therefore its safety.
The objective of greater operational safety is achieved
by complying with the balancing principle, which
entails
operating without compromising the
longitudinal and transverse balance of the forklift
truck, in order to prevent the causes that may cause it
to overturn.
For loads with a movable centre of gravity (e.g.
liquids), possible variations in the centre of gravity
must be taken into account to determine the load
volume to be handled.
It is forbidden to handle a load exceeding the actual
capacity specified on the corresponding load chart in
the Use and Maintenance Manual of the individual
accessory used.
Operate with the utmost caution and care to limit
such variations as much as possible.
Visibility
When driving the vehicle, it is mandatory to remain
particularly vigilant especially in its immediate vicinity
due to the possible presence of people, animals,
obstacles, etc.
Her are a few useful recommendations to have, and
maintain, good visibility around the vehicle:
˗ Make sure you always have a good view from the
cab (clean windows, sufficient lighting, rear view
mirror adjusted, etc.).
˗ Always try to have a good view of the route, with
direct vision and indirect vision (using the panoramic
rear view mirrors) to check for the possible presence
of people, animals, holes, obstacles, changes in
slope, etc.
˗ Visibility, on the right side, may be reduced when
raising the boom, so make sure you have a good
view of the route before raising the boom and
proceeding with operations.
˗ If visibility while travelling forward is not sufficient
enough to guarantee safety due to the size of the
load, it is advisable to travel in reverse. Remember
that this manoeuvre is exceptional and can only be
carried out over short distances.
˗ The forklift truck’s signalling systems and lights
must be suitable for its conditions of use. The
vehicle’s standard lighting might not be enough for
use in environments that are poorly lit or at night.
Traversing over sloping ground
Working with the vehicle on sloping ground can
cause overturning or slipping. Move forward and
brake gently taking the necessary precautions.
Always move in a straight line to climb up or down a
slope.
Moving crosswise or horizontally along the slope is
extremely dangerous.
Always use the parking brake when placing or lifting
a load on a slope.
When travelling on sloping routes, whether uphill or
downhill, turn the lifting accessory downstream for
empty movements and upstream for movements with
a load.
It is strictly forbidden to move with the load facing
downstream on a downhill slope, because it would
seriously compromise the stability of the load and the
forklift truck.
If you must go down the slope with a load, do so in
reverse gear with the load positioned upstream.
If you must go up the slope with a load, do so in
forward gear with the load positioned upstream.
