Clark NPR17 - Stacking

Section 5. Operating Procedures
To move a load from a stack:
Approach the stack carefully, truck lined up squarely with the load. Raise
the forks to the correct height for freely engaging the load pallet. Adjust
fork angle as necessary to fit squarely underthe load. Move forward until
the outriggers are close to and aligned to the stack. Extend the
pantograph until the forks are under the load.
NOTICE
Be sure that the forks do not extend beyond the load,
causing damage or tipping of other adjacent loads or
materials behind the load being moved. If the forks are
longer than the load, move the tips partially under the
load without extending beyond the load. Raise the load
to clear the undersurface. Back out several inches,
then set the load down and move forward until the front
face of the forks contacts the load.
Raise the load from the stack by tilting the forks back just enough to lift
the load from the surface. Raise the forks until they begin to lift the load.
At this point, apply the minimum back tilt that will stabilize the load.
Retract the pantograph until it stops against the upright.
Check yourtravel path, slowly back off until clear of the stack, stop, and
then lower the load to the travel position (6 to 8 inches off the ground).
Tilt full back to travel (except for certain loads that may have to be
transported as level as possible). Be sure the load is back flush against
the carriage or front face of the forks. Be careful not to lower the load on
top of the outriggers.
NOTICE
Certain loads may have to be transported as level as
possible.
