3 Operation
Transporting loads
• Always tilt in the attachment a little (toward the machine) for transport!
• Always transport the load close to the ground!
• Maintain a distance of a minimum 6 m (236.20 in) between the loader unit/load and
overhead lines!
• Never operate the loader unit and the attachments at higher machine speed!
• Never leave the machine with the load raised!
• In order to avoid unlocking the pallet forks, secure the 3rd control circuit on the machine
–seeOperating and securing the 3rd control circuit (standard) on page 3-65 or
–seeElectrical operation and locking of 3rd control circuit (option) on page 3-67
• On slopes, the load must be on the uphill side of the machine/attachment. Drive the
machine backward on sloping terrain to prevent the load from falling off and the
machine from tilting forward when braking!
• When transporting large bulk loads drive the machine backward for improved visibility.
• Observe the load-bearing capacity of bridges, basement ceilings, vaults, etc., before
moving the machine on them!
• Bear in mind the clearances of underpasses, tunnels, gates, etc. before machine travel
through or under them!
Setting down loads
• Loads must only be set down on a suitable base with sufficient stability and load-bearing
capacity
• Do not stack or set down in higher places loads which are not properly packaged or
which have shifted, or load units with damaged pallets/stacking containers
• Set down loads only in places where they will stand safely without tilting, falling down or
sliding! Affix appropriate marks to loads which have been set down, especially in the
area of public and private traffic!
• Observe the load-bearing capacity of the set-down area (for example truck platforms,
storage area in high-bay warehouses, etc.)
• Load the loading area of vehicles or trailers evenly and distribute the load evenly on the axles
• Stack loads only up to the authorized maximum pallet height
• Do not set down loads too near to slopes, construction pits, etc.
• Do not set down loads in transit or escape routes, and not in front of safety facilities or
works equipment which must be accessible at any time
