Operation
Transporting loads with the pallet forks
When transporting loads with the pallet forks raised, the load can fall down or
the machine can tilt!
☞ Dump in the pallet forks a little and lower them to transport position
☞ If necessary, raise the pallet forks just before setting down the load
☞ Never raise the load over persons
☞ Never park the machine with a raised load
☞ Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability
☞ Transport loads as follows:
• Move the load only when it is safely placed on the fork arms
• Move the machine only if you have sufficient visibility
• Start, turn and stop smoothly
• Concentrate on your work, avoid distractions
• Lower/raise loads to transport position before moving and transporting them (bear in
mind the ground clearance)
• Always tilt in the pallet forks a little (towards the machine) for transport!
• Always drive slowly, especially in off-road applications, to avoid strong swinging
movements of the load!
• When driving or working across a slope, the load must be on the uphill side of the
machine/attachment. Drive the machine backwards on sloping terrain to prevent the
load from falling off and the machine from tilting forwards when braking
• When transporting large bulk loads drive the machine backwards
for improved visibility
