Know the Hazards
FORK POSITION WILL VARY DEPENDING ON LOAD
The tilt of the fork tips and raised height of the forks
will change depending on how much load is on the
forks.
Always check to see that the forks are at the correct tilt
position and lift height to enter a pallet, and that the
pallet and load will clear the rack beams.
Use minimum fork tilt to pick up or place a load.
When raising or lowering outside a rack, keep the load
backrest vertical or tilted back slightly.
CHECK THE PATH OF THE FORKS
Make certain the path of the forks is clear and free of
obstacles.
Check that the forks are at the proper position to enter
the pallet, or that the pallet will clear the rack beam.
SIDESHIFT OPTION
Roll the ball away from you to shift the forks to the left
(away from you). Roll the ball toward you to shift the
forks to the right (toward you). The farther you move
the ball from neutral the faster the forks will move.
SECOND HYDRAULIC OPTION
Hold the gray button on the back of the handle and
roll the ball toward you or away from you.
