4.
If the load is being removed
from a stack without using the
reach function, slowly move the
lift truck away from the stack. If
the load is being removed from a
stack and the forks are extended,
slowly retract the forks. When the
load is clear of the stack, lower
the load for traveling. Always
travel with the load as low as
possible, retracted and tilted backward. Lowering speed
is controlled by the distance you move the multi-function
handle or the distance the control lever is moved from
neutral. Lower slowly and smoothly. Slowly return the
multi-function handle or the control lever to the neutral
position so that the load is not dropped or that the lift truck
is not tipped over due to the rapid stop of the load.
5.
To put the load on a stack, align
the lift truck with the stack. Lift the
load to eye level and then tilt the
load forward until it is level. Raise
the load higher than the point
where it will be placed. Do not raise
the load to a point below where the
load is to be placed and jog the load
up into position. This operation
uses added energy, particularly with an electric lift truck.
Be careful not to damage or move adjacent loads.
WARNING
Move carefully and smoothly when the load is raised
over a stack. When the load is elevated the center of
gravity of the lift truck and the load is much higher.
The lift truck can tip over when the load is raised.
