3. When a load is put on the floor, tilt the mast forward to a
vertical position and lower the load. Tilt the mast forward to
permit smooth removal of the forks. Carefully move the lift
truck backward to remove the forks from under the load.
4. If the load is being removed from a stack, slowly move the
lift truck away from the stack. When the load is clear of the
stack, lower the load for traveling. Always travel with the load
as low as possible and tilted backward. Lowering speed is
controlled by the position of the control lever. Lower slowly
and smoothly. Slowly return 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.
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.
5. To put the load on a stack, align the lift truck with the stack.
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. Be careful not to damage or move adjacent
loads.
