Transporting Loads Using Pallet Forks
Important: When the self-leveling feature is on, the tilt angle of the attachment is kept
constant, relative to the ground plane, when the lift arm is raised. When the lift arm is
lowered however, self-leveling is not activated. Refer to “Self-Leveling (Option)” on
page 101 for more information about the self-leveling feature.
Loading Pallet Forks
1. Stop the machine immediately in front of the material.
2. Position the fork arms parallel to the ground.
3. Make sure the fork arms are adjusted as far apart as possible, as allowed by the load,
and are both the same distance away from the center-line of the load.
4. Adjust the height of the fork arms to fit the lifting area at the bottom of the pallet.
5. Drive slowly and carefully forward until the fork frame contacts the material.
6. Make sure the pallet is evenly and safely positioned on the pallet fork arms.
Lifting Loads Using Pallet Forks
7. Apply the parking brake.
8. Slowly raise the pallet forks. Do not raise the pallet forks any higher than required.
Make sure to not exceed pallet fork load center and/or lifting capacity.
9. Lower the load immediately if you are unsure of the load, the equipment, or in case of
any unsafe circumstances.
10. Tilt the pallet fork frame back slightly, to help retain the load.
Transporting Load Using Pallet Forks
11. Make sure the area around and behind the machine is clear of bystanders and
obstacles.
12. Slowly and carefully drive in reverse and lower the pallet forks to transport position
(“Attachment Transport Position” on page 94), when it is safe to do so.
13. Carry the load as low as safely possible during transport. Observe minimum ground
clearance. Refer to “Attachment Transport Position” on page 94.
14. Drive slowly and carefully forward straight toward the place where the load will be set
down.
Setting Down Loads Using Pallet Forks
Note: If the load will be placed on top of stacked material, make sure to align the load in
the center of the stack.
Do not stack loads which are not properly
packaged or have damaged pallets/stacking
containers. Do not stack loads, or on top of loads, which have shifted.
