Wait until wheels are locked and dash light is illuminated before moving.
NOTE
When in forward mode the back wheel steers the truck, while the front wheels
remain fixed.
2.11: Stopping
Always brake evenly and smoothly. Violent braking may cause the load to
slip from the forks.
The forks must be lowered when the truck has stopped.
After stopping the truck, return the direction control switch to neutral.
When the operator leaves the forklift truck unattended, the parking brake
must be applied and the ignition key removed to prevent unauthorised use
NOTE
The brake/inching pedal permits slow drive speed for precise manoeuvring of
the truck in confined spaces. It operates independently of the accelerator
pedal, if fully depressed it will bring the machine to a complete stop.
2.12: Loading
Do not exceed rated capacity of truck. Overloading can cause truck
instability. If in doubt, check with the load chart, located inside the cabin.
Before picking up a load adjust the forks to ensure that they are equally
spaced about the centre line of the fork carriage and as widely spaced as
possible to take the weight of the load evenly.
Check that the forks are of sufficient length. The length should be at least
three quarters the depth (front to back) of the load.
When manoeuvring to pick up a load, avoid erratic movements that could
result in damage to the load and/or truck.
Apply parking brake when loading
2.13: When Loading in Sideward Mode
Retract the mast fully.
Drive the front of the machine as close to the load as possible.
Drive until the machine is at the centre of the load.
Apply parking brake.
Lower/raise the forks to the required height.
Extend mast.
