OPERATING PROCEDURES

2. Before using the container attachment, inspect the at-
tachment for damage and make sure all of the controls
operate as specified in Table 3.
3. Always put the attachment in the center of the lift truck
when not carrying a container. Use the side--shift function
to put the attachment in the center position.
4. Use the side--shift function to keep the container as
level as possible when carrying a container.
5. Watch the clearance around the whole length of the
container.
6. Never lift a container that is heavier than the capacity
listed on the nameplate of the lift truck.
7. Always be careful of winds while handling containers.
Strong wind force on raised containers can tip the lift
truck. Do not stack containers in winds above 45 km/hr
(27 mph).
8. Do not use the override button while a container is be-
ing carried by the attachment.
HOW TO PICK UP A CONTAINER
1. When the engine is shut--off the lock pins extend. The
green lights on the control panel for the attachment will be
illuminated when the lock pins are extended. The lock
pins must be retracted before the attachment can be put
in position so that the container can be picked up.
2. The lock pins can not be locked or unlocked unless the
attachment is seated on a container.
NOTE: There is an override button that permits the lock
pins to be retracted without the attachment being seated
on a container. See Item 19, TABLE 2.
3. Put the lift truck in a position so that the attachment is
approximately centered with the container. Raise the at-
tachment to the height of the container. If necessary, ex-
tend or retract the attachment to match the length of the
container.
4. Use the side--shift function to align the attachment with
the container. Move forward until the guides on the verti-
cal end beams contact the container.
5. When the attachment is aligned with the container,
lower the attachment so that both vertical guide pins enter
the top openings in the corner pockets of the container.
