OAD HANDLING
A - WEIGHT OF LOAD AND CENTRE OF GRAVITY
Carrying a load greater than the rated capacity for the lift truck or for the
attachment is prohibited.
- Before taking up a load, you must know its weight and its centre of gravity.
- The load chart relating to your lift truck is valid for a weight with its centre of
gravity 500 or 600 mm from the heel of the forks (As model of lift truck) (Fig.
A). For a higher centre of gravity, consult your agent or dealer.
- For irregular loads, determine the centre of gravity in the transverse
direction before handling (Fig. B).
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 hand-
led (Consult your agent or dealer) and be vigilant and take extra care to limit
these variations as far as possible.
B - TAKING UP A LOAD ON THE GROUND
- Approach the lift truck perpendicular to the load, with the forks in a
horizontal position (Fig. C).
- Adjust the fork spread and centering in connection with the load (Fig. D)
(Optional solutions exist, consult your dealer).
Beware of the risks of trapping or squashing limbs when manually adjusting
the forks. Always maintain an equal distance between the forks and the
centre of the carriage in order to keep the load completely stable.
- Move the lift truck forward slowly (1) and bring the forks to stop in front of
the load (Fig. E), if necessary, slightly lift the mast (2) while taking up the
load.
- Apply the parking brake and place the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Slightly lift the load (1), incline the mast (2) backwards in the transport
position (Fig. F).
Tilt the load sufficiently backwards to ensure its stability (loss of load on bra-
king) without upsetting the balance of the load in so doing.
