After making sure the fork tips leave
the load, lower the forks to the basic
position (15 to 20 cm off the ground).
•
Tilt the mast backwards.
Warning!
Never tilt the mast with loads
upraised 2m or more.
Don’t leave or dismount from the
truck when the load is raising high.
Remove load
•
When approaching the area where the
load is to be retrieved, slow down your
truck.
•
Stop the truck in front of the load so
that the distance between the load and
fork tips is about 30 cm.
•
Check the condition of the load.
•
Tilt the mast forward until forks
become horizontal. Elevate forks up to
the position of the pallet or skid.
•
Make sure forks are positioned
properly for the pallet. Move forward
slowly to insert forks into the pallet as
far as possible and then stop the truck.
Caution
If the forks are hard to be fully
inserted, use the following procedure:
move forward and insert 3/4 of the
forks. Raise the forks 5 to 10 cm and
move backward 10 to 20 cm with the
pallet or skid on the forks, then lower
the pallet or skid on the stack. Move
forward again to insert the forks fully.
•
Raise the forks 5 to 10 cm off the
stack.
•
Check all around the truck to insure
that the path of travel is unobstructed
and back away slowly.
•
Lower forks to a height of 15 to 20 cm
above the ground. Tilt the mast
backward fully and move to the
desired area.
