To move a load from a stack:
Approach the stack carefully, truck lined up squarely with the load. With
upright vertical, raise the forks to the correct height for freely engaging
the load pallet. Adjust fork angle as necessary to t squarely under the
load. Move forward 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 under surface. 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 upright back just enough to
lift the load from the surface. Or, with the upright still vertical, raise the
forks until they begin to lift the load. At this point, apply the minimum
back tilt that will stabilize the load.
Fully retract forks, and then lower the load to the travel position. 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 ush against the carriage
or front face of the forks.
