3 Operation
Transporting loads with the pallet forks
Risk of accidents and injury!
When transporting loads with the pallet forks raised, the load can fall down or
the machine can tilt!
☞After picking up the load, lower the loader unit to transport position and tilt
in the pallet forks
☞Raise the loader unit just before setting down the load
☞Never raise the load over persons
☞Never park the machine with the load raised
☞Never leave the machine with the load raised
☞Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability
☞Transport material as follows:
• Move the load only when it is safely placed on the fork arms
• Raise the load and move the machine only if you have sufficient visibility
• Start, turn and stop smoothly
• Concentrate on your work, avoid distractions
• When moving and transporting loads, always tilt it slightly back toward the machine
and raise or lower it to transport position (bear in mind the ground clearance)
• Always drive slowly in off-road applications, to avoid strong swinging movements of
the load!
• 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.
