• Check all the parts of the equipment for rust, cracks or other damage before each use.
• Only use the equipment if it is in perfect condition.
• Only use the equipment in aisles and gangways that are wide enough for the necessary
manoeuvres to be made while driving or handling the load.
• Only operate in sufficiently illuminated areas.
• Check the correct installation before you put the sideshifter into use.
• Not intended for use in areas at risk of explosion and fire.
• Define and demarcate the working area and make sure that everyone stays sufficiently clear
of the sideshifter working area at all times.
• Be aware of overhead clearances and obstacles.
• Adjust your speed according to the terrain.
• Never lift or transport an unlocked attachment.
• Do not use if there is a risk of unexpected movement, only use the vehicle on solid ground.
• Only operate the sideshifter from the operator’s seat and make sure you have a complete
overview of the work activities.
• When the machine is not in use, avoid unexpected movement by ensuring the machine is
in a stable position.
• Do not wear loose clothing or belts, cuffs, large sleeves, scarves, shirts or anything else that
may get caught in the moving parts.
• In the event of injury caused by oil escaping under pressure, immediately seek medical
assistance.
• In the event of non-envisaged workmanship or intervention, or following a procedure
different to that indicated in the manual, consult CAM attachments before proceeding in
order to ascertain its feasibility.
• Never stand or work under the sideshifter to prevent third parties from being hit by falling
objects during work.
• Transportation of non-permitted materials is forbidden.
• Do not leave your lifting device unguarded without lowering the load to the ground,
applying the handbrake and switching off the engine first.
• For safety reasons, arbitrary adaptations or modifications to the equipment are prohibited.
• Do not lift loads on inclines or gradients.
• Do not drive with a non-centred load (shifted towards the left or right).
• Make sure that the load cannot move or fall.
• Before using the sideshifter, carefully read the instructions in the manual of your lifting
device.
• The lifting device may only be driven by qualified drivers who have also been trained in the
operation of a lifting device fitted with the equipment.
• Make sure the load does not extend too far beyond the attachment. This can cause tipping
hazard.
• Only use the sideshifter in open and free spaces.

6.2. Operating instructions
Perform the daily maintenance check before each use as described in chapter‘7.3. Maintenance
instructions’.
6.2.1. Load lifting
Before starting
First, use the hydraulic levers to check which levers operate which function.
Use all the functions several times with no load to check if they function normally and smoothly.
Before lifting a load, operate the forks several times in order to remove air from the circuit. See chapter
‘5.3.1. Bleed the hydraulic circuit’.
Loading
1. The load must be positioned against the sideshifter body and not towards the tips of the lifting
forks.
2. The forks must be spaced inside the pallets.
After having lifted the load, always position the forks centrally.
