HANDLING LOADS
Lifting a load off the ground
1. Slowly approach the load to lift with the boom completely
retracted and the forks in a horizontal position at the
height of the lifting point.
Keep the forks raised high enough to avoid contact with
the ground.
2. Position the forks under the load to lift until contact is
made with the fork holder plate. Engage the parking bra-
ke and shift the gear selector to neutral.
3. Raise the load slightly and tilt the fork holder plate back-
wards into the carrying position.
- CAUTION -
Always comply with the centre of gravity of the load,
tilt the forks enough to ensure stability and to avoid
dropping the load when braking.
- CAUTION -
Never carry loads while the boom is raised and/or
extended.
