Handling Irregular Loads
Handle irregular loads only after you fully understand how
to handle palleted loads. The basic procedure is the same
as for palleted loads, but note the following points:
1 Know the load weight and load centre before lifting it.
2 Do not exceed the machine loading limits.
3 Approach the load on centre. Stop the machine,
leaving enough room to manoeuvre the mast and
carriage.
4 Operate the mast and carriage controls only when the
machine is stopped, with the park brake engaged and
the transmission in neutral.
