C - TAKING UP A HIGH LOAD ON TYRES
Do not lift the mast under any circumstances if the lift truck is not laterally horizontal
(See paragraph : F - LATERAL HORIZONTALITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK in the chapter :
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD).
- Ensure that the forks will easily pass under the load.
- Approach the lift truck perpendicular to the load and with the forks in a horizontal
position (Fig. G) manoeuvring gently and carefully (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in
the chapter : INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK DURING HANDLING
OPERATIONS for visibility of the road).
- Bring the forks to stop in front of the load (Fig. H). Apply the parking brake and place
the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Slightly lift the load (1) and incline the mast (2) backwards to stabilize the load (Fig. I).
Tilt the load sufficiently backwards to ensure its stability (loss of load on braking)
without upsetting the balance of the load in so doing.
- Manoeuvring very gently and carefully (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in the chapter :
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK DURING HANDLING
OPERATIONS for visibility of the road), back up the lift truck (1) to release the load,
and bring the load into the transport position (Fig. J).
