Press the “ON” flange
to apply brake.
Moving:
To transport a load, start with completely lowered forks. Verify the load
is evenly distributed across the forks. Make adjustments as appropriate.
Slowly raise the forks just high enough so the load can be transported.
When ready, the trained operator will push or pull the Push/Pull Bars to
transport the load over a level, smooth and spacious surface. Push the
stacker forward to transport the load over longer distances.
Only when setting down or picking up a load with
raised
, loaded forks is
it permissible to move the stacker forwards or in reverse. This activity
should be on a smooth, level surface. Once the load is completely over
the floor, lower the forks to the floor then raise the load just enough so
the load can be transported.
When unloaded, completely lower the forks before moving the stacker.
Always avoid sudden stops, quick turns or quick starts to prevent accidental tipping or shifting of the load.
Lifting and Lowering:
Before lifting, verify the load does not exceed the stacker’s carrying capacity
or its lifting height. Ensure the load is evenly distributed across both forks.
Verify the load will not extend or project into the stacker’s lifting frame.
Prevent and ensure no one will be under the load, even if they are just
walking through or by. Lastly, verify the surface is level.
For the
–AA version, widen the stability forks as necessary.
The trained operato
r positions the stacker’s forks securely under the load.
The space between the load and the stacker is as close as possible, as shown
in Figure: Minimizing the Gap. If the forks are shorter than the load, the load
should not extend 50mm beyond the lifting forks’ end reach.
To raise the load, the trained operator has two options. First, if the Power Meter, item 2, indicates the batteries have a
charge, the trained operator can press the Lift Button, item 3. Secondly, the manual option is always available.
Lowering the Pump Handle, item 1, will incrementally raise the load. Continue to actuate the lifting mechanism with the
Pump Handle until the load is at the desired height.
Lowering the load can be achieved with the Lowering Handle, item 4. Squeezing the Lowering Handle towards the
Pump Handel will lower the load. When the Lowering Handle is released, the load stops descending. Lower the load
in a smooth and safe manor as not to disturb the weight distribution on the forks.
Before Leaving the Stacker:
The stacker needs to be stowed on a level, clean surface that is clear of
other vehicles.
There are a few steps to follow: First, lower the forks completely. Then,
depress the E-Stop push-button down. Lastly, activate the parking
brake by pressing
down on the “ON” flange until it is snug, as shown in
Figure: De-activating the Brake.
