OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Moving Machine with a Load

It is best to move the machine on the work site with
no load. Moving a raised load should be restricted
to positioning for loading and unloading. If it is
necessary to move the machine with a raised load,
understand and obey the following safety rules:

· Make sure the area is level and clear of

obstructions.

· Make sure the load is centered on the forks or

load platform.

· Avoid sudden starts and stops.

· Travel with the load in the lowest possible

position.

· Keep personnel away from the machine and

load.

· Do not tilt the machine back with a raised

load.

Moving Machine on Stairs

It is best to move the machine on stairs using the
optional stair glides. Moving the machine on stairs
without the use of stair glides is not recommended.
If it is necessary to move the machine on stairs,
understand and obey the following safety rules:

· Do not move the machine on stairs when the

machine is equipped with the 4 point caster
option.

· Fully lower the load.

· Ease the machine over each stair. Maintain a

firm grasp on the handle.

· Do not allow the machine to become

unbalanced.

· Continue carefully up or down the stairs.

· Use the appropriate number of people and

proper lifting techniques with heavy loads.

· Models with electric winch: Remove the

battery pack.

After Each Use

To prepare the machine for storage, remove the
forks and legs and reverse the winch handle. Refer
to the Setup procedure.

Select a safe storage location - firm level surface,
weather protected, clear of obstruction and traffic.

Models with electric winch: Recharge the battery.
