Unloading
If the forks are longer than the load, move the tips partially under the
load without extending beyond the load. Raise the load to clear the
fl oor. Back out several inches, or whatever distance is necessary, then
set the load down and move forward until the load is positioned against
the face of the forks.
Raise the load from the fl oor or stack by tilting the upright back just
enough to lift the load from the surface. When stacking or tiering, use
only enough backward tilt to stabilize the load.
Then raise the load to traveling height and tilt fully back to travel (except
for special loads that must be transported as level as possible).
Unloading
To deposit a load on the fl oor after being moved into the correct position,
tilt the upright forward to a vertical position and lower the load.
Adjust the fork height and tilt the upright forward slightly, as necessary,
for smooth removal of the forks from the load (pallet).
Carefully back away to clear the forks from the load.
Raise the forks to traveling height and tilt fully back.
