•
If your machine is equipped with out-
riggers, these should be lowered into
position.
•
Use a signal person if necessary to
help your safely place the load.
•
If there is any sign of instability,
immediately lower the load and:
•• Re-stack the load on the pallet or
break it down into smaller loads.
•• If necessary, move the machine
to a more stable, level position.
•
The machine
will become
less stable as
loads are
raised higher.
j.
Always keep the forks low moving to
maximize machine stability.
k.
Do not walk under the raised forks or
load. Keep others away.
l.
Do not make sudden starts, stops or
turns. Sudden motion can dislodge a load
or cause instability.
m. Use extra care when placing or stacking a
load overhead. When carrying high,
remember:
•
Use extra care because there may be
workers or others in the area that you
cannot see.
•
Keep the load as low as possible
while manoeuvring the machine into
position.
•
Do not lift the load until the machine
is as close as possible to the place
where the load will go.
•
Do not raise the load if the forks are
tilted to one side or bent.
