LAYING A HIGH LOAD ON TYRES
- Approach the load in the transport position in front of the pile (fig. F6).
- Put the handbrake on and set the reversing lever to neutral.
- Use the Load Charts to confirm the load and lift height capacities. Lift and extend the jib
(1) (2) until the load is above the pile. If necessary, move the lift truck (3) forward (fig.
F7), driving very slowly and carefully.
- Place the load in a horizontal position and lay it down on the pile by lowering and
retracting the jib (1) (2) in order to position the load correctly (fig. F8).
- If possible, release the fork by alternately retracting and raising the jib (1) (fig. F9). Then
set the forks into transport position.
- If this is not possible, reverse the lift truck (1) very slowly and carefully to release the
forks (fig. F10). Then set them into transport position.
