When picking up a load from the ground, approach the
load slowly and carefully align the truck square with the
load. The forks should be adjusted to fit the load or pallet
being handle and spread as wide as possible to provide
good stability and balance. Before lifting, be sure the load
is centered and the forks are fully under and supporting
the load. Fork length should be at least 2/3 of load length.
With the lift and tilt controls, adjust the forks to the correct
height and angle for freely engaging the load pallet. Move
forward until the forks are squarely and completely under
the load.
Be sure that the forks do not extend beyond the load,
causing damage or tipping of other adjacent loads or
materials behind the load being moved.
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 ground. Back out several inches, or whatever distance is
necessary, then set the load down and move forward until the load is positioned against the
carriage.
Raise the load from the ground or stack by tilting the mast 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 loads that must be
transported as level as possible).
UNLOADING
To deposit a load on the floor after being moved into the correct position, tilt the mast forward to a
vertical position and lower the load.
Adjust the fork height and tilt the mast 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 forks to a level position 150~200mm(6~8in) off the floor.
