Section 2. Operating Hazards
Load Handling
Chain Slack
Pallets and Skids
WARNING
Check for chain slack before attempting to lower a load or when withdrawing the forks
after placing a load. Chain slack is caused by the upright rails, carriage, or forks hanging
up. Raise the forks before moving, or damage to the chains may occur.
WARNING
Possibility of crushing injury or death. Do not move or store material on damaged pallets
or skids. Damaged skids and pallets can cause material to fall unexpectedly.
Always use pallets or skids that are in good condition.
