Retract the reach fully, checking to make sure that the forks do not foul on the
pallet or load on withdrawal. Make any necessary adjustments to prevent the
forks from fouling.
If appropriate reverse away from the load.
When the forks are clear of the load/stack, lower the forks to 100mm (4˝) above
the ground and tilt the mast back before moving off.
5.16.5 De-stacking Long & Palletised Loads
Slowly approach the placing location with the mast in the safe travel position.
Use the four-way drive to get the truck into position if necessary.
Select neutral and apply the park brake.
Level the forks using the tilt function.
Check overhead to make sure there is adequate headroom before lifting.
Lift the forks to the required height to enter the pallet/load cleanly.
Extend the reach until the fork heels gently touch the pallet/load.
Check overhead to make sure there is adequate headroom before lifting. Pay
attention to the highest point.
Lift the pallet/load approximately 50-75mm (2-3˝). If the load dips use the tilt
function to level the load before withdrawal.
If the load is unstable use backward tilt to secure it if appropriate.
Retract the reach fully, checking to make sure that the pallet/load does not foul
on the racking or adjacent loads on withdrawal. Make any necessary adjustments
to prevent the load from fouling.
Lower the load smoothly under control (onto the platforms if the load is long) and
ensue the load is evenly balanced.
Position the forks in the safe travel position.
If appropriate reverse away from the racking/stack.
Warning
Avoid any travel with the mast raised and/or the reach extended.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid jerky movement when using the tilt
function, especially when the load is raised.
