1.3.8 Loading
•
Approach the load carefully.
•
Adjust the height of the forks until they
can be easily inserted into the pallet.
•
Insert the forks under the load.
•
If the load is shorter than the forks,
position the forks so that the front of
the load overhangs them by a few
centimeters, to avoid interference with the
load immediately ahead.
•
Raise the load a few centimeters above
its support.
•
Back the truck away from the stack or
any neighboring loads, gently and in a
straight line.
Transporting loads
Always carry loads in the forward direction
of travel (R) in order to have the best
visibility.
When carrying a load on a slope, always
ascend or descend with the load uphill.
Never drive sideways across a slope or
perform a U-turn.
Reverse travel (F) is to be used solely for
unloading. Since visibility is reduced when
travelling in this direction, drive only at
very slow speed.
