OPERATING THE SLT30 AC TRUCK
Handling a Load
Narrow-aisles, plus the size of the
truck can prevent a load from being
pulled straight out of the rack. You
must pivot the mast and shift (or
inch) the load in or out of the rack. A
combination of movements, where
the pivot or shift actions occur, with
forward or backward movements of
the truck are needed to inch the load
in and out of position. This will
require some practice by the
operator to be performed smoothly
and effectively.
DANGER
DANGER
Setting the Forks
CAUTION
Before you get on the forklift make
sure the spacing between the forks
is properly set. See Figure 4-8.
Safety Reminders:
• Lower the load to
recommended traveling
position before moving.
Lowering the load improves
driver visibility, and improves
the stability of the truck by
reducing the possibility of
personal injury or damage to
the load should it slip from
the forks.
• Look in the direction you
will travel before you begin to
drive the forklift.
• Ensure forks are set so
the spacing between them is
as wide as possible between
the end stringers on the
pallet and that forks fully
inserted into the pallet.
• DO NOT handle unstable
or loosely stacked loads. Use
caution when you handle
high or wide loads.
• DO NOT allow anyone to
stand beneath or pass under
the mast. Never use the
forklift to elevate anyone
without the use of an
approved attachment. Never
carry passengers on the
truck.
• NEVER load the SLT30 AC
forklift beyond its rated
capacity. Rated capacity is
stated on the truck’s
identification capacity plate.
• Failure to follow these
guidelines can cause serious
injury or death.
Make certain the truck key
switch is in the “OFF”
position. The forks must be
set equal distance from the
center of the fork carriage.
Setting them too far to the left
or right could cause a load to
unbalance and tip the truck.
