Operation:
• Always position forks straight ahead before engaging load.
• To travel with load, keep forks in straight ahead position and lower load
to 4 feet (1.2m) or less above ground allowing for best visibility.
• Inspect supporting surface at delivery point and have it leveled if necessary.
• Use a signal man to assist in positioning the load if necessary.
Slope Piler Carriage
Capacity:
Maximum lift capacity for the slope piler carriage is shown on the attachment
serial number plate. However, maximum lift capacity applies only to certain
areas within boom extension/elevation pattern of handler/slope piler carriage
combination. A separate capacity chart must be used for handlers equipped
with slope piler carriage. Study and understand this chart before attempting to
handle a load with slope piler carriage.

WARNING
!
PRECAUTIONS
• Read and understand
additional capacity information
under “Capacity” heading.
• Always level forks (horizontally)
before swinging load to side.
Swinging unleveled forks may
result in load slipping from
forks.
• Because the swing forks can
swing the load to the side, it is
especially important that the
handler be level when handling
a load more than four feet
(1.2m) above ground.
(See Page 11.0)
