4.10.2 Transporting a load
Requirements
– Load picked up correctly.
– Mast lowered for proper transport (approx. 150 - 500 mm above the ground). Do
not travel with a raised load (>500 mm).
In double decker mode: Load handler lowered as far as possible but without
touching the lower load, see page 103.
– Good ground conditions.
Procedure
• Accelerate and decelerate with care.
• Adapt your travel speed to the conditions of the travel paths and the load you are
transporting.
• Travel at a constant speed.
• Be prepared to brake at all times:
• Brake gently in normal circumstances.
• Only stop abruptly in hazardous situations.
• Watch out for other traffic at crossings and passageways.
• Always travel with a lookout at blind spots.
• Do not travel across or at an angle on inclines. Do not turn on slopes or inclines
and always transport with the load facing uphill (see graphic).
Two palletised loads can only be transported on top of each other if the
corresponding optional equipment is available, see page 103.
