C - TAKING UP A HIGH LOAD ON TYRES
Under no circumstances should you pick up a load if the lift truck is not a
horizontal position. (See paragraph : F - HORIZONTAL POSITION OF THE
LIFT TRUCK in the chapter : LOAD HANDLING).
- 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 : HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS 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 bra-
king) without upsetting the balance of the load in so doing.
- Manoeuvring very gently and carefully (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in the
chapter : HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS 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).
