Operation
5.1
General
At least once per working shift, the machine and equipment must be inspected for
visible damage and defects.
Repeat faults to your superior and have them rectified without delay.
Be aware of persons present in the area where you are working or driving and ensure
that they are not endangered.
Do not transport any load exceeding that specified on the residual load plate for the
particular combination of lift truck and attachment.
Note the load-bearing capacity of the attachment as stated on the rating plate. This
figure always represents the load carried by two or more fork arms.
The nominal capacity of the forks must exceed the load.
5.2
Load handling
Set the forks as wide apart as possible for the load to be carried.
Position the mast vertically and take up the load parallel to the floor.
Always transport pallets, boxes and containers using both forks.
Drive the attachment up to the load to maximum extent.
Raise the load about 300 mm and tilt the mast backwards.
Centre the load to the middle of the lift truck during take-up and transport.
5.3
Driving
Ensure that pallets, boxes, containers and packaging are in good condition.
Do not drive with the mast tilted forward.
Take care when driving that neither the attachment nor the load comes into contact
with the ground.
Ensure that multiple items stacked on top of one another are securely fastened.
