INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND WARNINGS
11
Only transport loads that are properly balanced;
The equipment must be lowered to the ground in
a hazard-free area devoid of obstacles;
The empty hook must be lowered gently, to prevent
abnormal stresses on the rope which can damage the
rope itself or the equipment structure;
Never leave the forklift truck parked with a raised
load;
The operator must stop using the vehicle if visibility
and lighting conditions are poor;
While working at heights, check constantly to make
sure the wind speed never exceeds 45 km/h (28 mph).
In case of strong wind, retract the equipment
immediately, as the specific wind pressure on hanging
loads can overload the forklift truck and affect its
stability;
Avoid using the equipment in especially adverse
weather conditions (rain storms in the presence of
lightning);
The forklift truck, carrying equipment fitted with
ropes, must be inspected periodically as envisaged
for lifting equipment, in compliance with legislation,
provisions and regulations applicable in the country
of use. The user alone is responsible for ensuring
compliance with the legislation in force;
Before starting work with the equipment or other
lifting equipment with hook, inform the authorities
responsible for inspections in your area;
Request the body responsible in the country of
operation for yearly inspections.
How to hook the equipment
Potential risks in the following operations:
crushing and injury to the upper limbs.
•

•
fit the equipment with the
boom head quick-fit coupling;
•
tilt the boom head coupling
round to the equipment
frame to insert the shear pin;
•

1
into the hole present on
the connecting flange of the boom aligned with the
hole present on the equipment hooking structure;
•
insert the split shear pin
2
in the hole present
on the pin which is integral with the equipment
structure in such a manner as to prevent it from
coming loose;
•
