4. BASIC OPERATION:
5
When operating machine unattached to any object, the Mast (24) should be
raised just enough so that the Forks (20 & 21) clear the ground. The Mast should be
kept as low as possible at all times to reduce the danger of tipping the machine on
uneven terrain.
To lift an object, lower the Forks (20 & 21) to slide under the floor frame to a
position where they will grab a structural member, or can be attached to a structural
member, adequate to push and pull on. Then raise the Mast T-Bar (17) to a position
on the wall/end where a structural member or reinforcing is adequate to keep the
end from caving inward as the load is raised and moved. Now pick up the object
and move the Mast Float Switch (7) to the float position before moving.
On non-power rotatoring masts the Mast Lock Pin (11) must be unlocked
before making any turns. Other personnel must always be on hand during any
move to check for obstructions, clearance issues, safety hazards, or impediments
to the safety or integrity of the move and warn the operator to stop. Never proceed
unless completely safe to do so.
Loading and unloading the machine on transport vehicle must be done on
level ground to prevent tipping of unit and injury or death.
