SkyTrak 3606 Operation Manual - Manual (Page 72)

70 3606 Rev 11/99
Operation
Reading the Standard Capacity Chart
Example:
1. The operator has placed the load onto the forks, fully retracted the
boom, positioned the vehicle perpendicular to the structure and lev-
eled the vehicle.
2. The operator determines that:
• The weight of the load is 6,500 pounds,
• The height of the structure the load is to be placed upon is 24
feet from ground level,
• The distance where the load will ultimately be placed in front of
the vehicle is 8 feet from the front of the tires.
3. After applying the height of the structure and the distance of load
placement away from the vehicle to the capacity chart (Figure 47),
the operator knows that it will be safe to place the load if the boom
extend stripe for zone “D” has not started to show and the boom
angle indicator reading does not go below approximately 50°.
This condition is however, a maximum limit for this weight, height and
distance away from the vehicle. The operator should move the vehicle
closer to the structure to assure that the vehicle will not exceed the
maximum limits for placing the load.
WARNING
DO NOT exceed rated capacities! Any attempt to lift or carry loads in
excess of those shown on the capacity chart may cause vehicle tipover,
loss of load or structural damage which could result in death or serious
injury.
