3.3 Safe lifting
All lifting must be carried out on a flat, nonslip and stable surface.
Asphalt floors must be avoided if possible.
• To prevent the truck moving while it is being lifted, it must not be lift-
ed with anyone on the platform or with the tiller arm in the lowered
position.
• If the drive wheel, which is braked, is being lifted the other wheel
must be chocked to stop the truck moving.
• Select the lifting point so that the lift is as light as possible, for exam-
ple one corner at a time. If the truck has marked lifting points on the
lower part of the chassis, these should be used for a well-balanced
lift.
• Ensure the area where you place the jack is clean and free of oil and
grease.
• Ensure there is no grease or oil on your hands or the jack lever.
