D - PICKING UP A LOAD ON THE GROUND

IMPORTANT

Before handling any loads, refer to the lift truck's load chart.
The extender must primarily be used with the stabilisers ( PICKING UP AND SETTING DOWN A HIGH-LEVEL LOAD).
Never lift a load with a single fork.
- Approach the lift truck perpendicular to the load (1), with the forks in a horizontal
position.
- Slowly move the lift truck (3) forward without extending the extender, and insert
the forks all the way up to the front of the load. If necessary, raise the mast slightly
while taking up the load.
- Carefully lift the load (4) then gently tilt the carriage (5) backwards to stabilise the
load in the transport position.
FOR A LARGE LOAD
- Extend the extender (1) and insert the forks all the way up to the front of the load.
If necessary, raise the mast slightly while taking up the load.
- Put the parking brake on and set the forward/reverse selector to neutral.
- Lower the stabilisers to the ground (2).
- Carefully lift the load (3) and bring it just above the front wheels (300mm).

IMPORTANT

While the lift truck is moving, place the load high enough to avoid it rubbing against the front wheels.
- Slowly retract the extender (4).
- Carefully tilt the carriage (5) backwards to stabilise the load.
- Retract the stabilisers (6).
- Release the parking brake then move the load as required.
NB: As the lift truck's stability is lower, manoeuvre with care.
