For lift trucks equipped with a towing system
OPERATING THE LIFT TRUCK WITH A TRAILER
- For using a trailer, observe the regulations in force in your country (maximum travel speed, braking, maximum weight
of trailer, etc.).
- Do not forget to connect the trailer’s electrical equipment to that of the lift truck.
- The trailer's braking system must comply with current legislation.
- If pulling a trailer with assisted braking, the tractor lift truck must be equipped with a trailer braking mechanism. In this
case, do not forget to connect the trailer braking equipment to the lift truck.
- The vertical force on the towing hook must not exceed the maximum authorised by the manufacturer (consult the
manufacturer’s plate on your lift truck).
- The authorised gross vehicle weight must not exceed the maximum weight authorised by the manufacturer (consult
the manufacturer’s plate on your lift truck).
IF NECESSARY, CONSULT YOUR DEALER.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD
A - CHOICE OF ATTACHMENTS
- Only attachments approved by MANITOU can be used on its lift trucks.
- Make sure the attachment is appropriate for the work to be done ( 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS AVAILABLE ON THE
RANGE).
- Make sure the attachment is correctly installed and locked onto the lift truck carriage.
- Make sure that your lift truck attachments work properly.
- Comply with the load chart limits for the lift truck for the attachment used.
- Do not exceed the rated capacity of the attachment.
- Never lift a load in a sling without the attachment provided for the purpose. There are optional solutions; contact your
dealer.
B - WEIGHT OF LOAD AND CENTRE OF GRAVITY
- Before picking up a load, you must know its weight and its centre of gravity.
- The load chart for your lift truck is valid for a load in which the longitudinal position
of the centre of gravity is 500 mm or 600 mm from the base of the forks (depending
on the model of lift truck) (Fig. B1). For a higher centre of gravity, contact your dealer.
- For irregular loads, determine the transverse centre of gravity before any movement
(fig. B2) and set it in the longitudinal axis of the lift truck.
IMPORTANT
It is forbidden to move a load heavier than the effective capacity defined on the lift truck load chart.
For loads with a moving centre of gravity (e.g. liquids), take account of the variations in the centre of gravity in order
to determine the load to be handled and be extra vigilant and careful to limit these variations as far as possible.
C - TRANSVERSE ATTITUDE OF THE LIFT TRUCK
- The transverse attitude is the lateral tilt of the frame in relation to the floor.
- Raising the mast reduces the lift truck's lateral stability.
- The transverse attitude must be horizontal with the mast in the down position:
Depending on the model of lift truck
• Position the lift truck so that the bubble in the spirit level is between the two lines ( 2 - DESCRIPTION).
