Safety instructions regarding work with pallet forks
Do not transport loads with a raised loader unit!
When transporting loads, always tilt in the attachment a little toward the
machine, carry it as close as possible to the ground and bear in mind the
required ground clearance!
If they are tilted in in transport position, the pallet forks are moved parallel to
their initial position as the loader unit is raised!
If the pallet forks are unintentionally tilted in to the limit in this position Fig. 140/A,
material may fall over the rear of the forks.
☞Do not tilt in pallet forks loaded with material in this position
☞Slightly readjust the pallet forks if necessary (tilt out Fig. 140/B)
☞Loading large bales or less-than-carload freight piled on top of each
other is prohibited if the machine is not equipped with a protective
roof or cabin!
☞Do not load over the rear end of the pallet forks
• Secure the load and if necessary, fit the rear of the pallet forks with a
protection
☞Ensure good visibility of the material you want to pick up and of the work
and travel range
In order to avoid tipping over when travelling or manoeuvring on slopes with
full pallet forks, tilt them fully in and set them to transport position!
☞Whenever possible, travel in reverse when transporting pallet forks loaded
with material on a steep slope
In Germany, transporting material on public roads with the pallet forks is prohibited!
Get informed on and follow the legal regulations of your country.
