4. Laying a high load on tyres
Under no circumstances should you lay down a load if the lift truck is not a horizontal position.
(See paragraph: G - HORIZONTAL POSITION OF THE LIFT TRUCK in the chapter: LOAD
HANDLING).
1) Approach the load in the transport position in front of the pile.
2) Lift and extend the jib until the load is above the pile, if necessary move the lift truck forward (3)
manoeuvring very gently and carefully (See paragraph: E - VISIBILITY in the chapter:
HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS for visibility of the road).
3) Apply the parking brake and place the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
4) Place the load in a horizontal position and lay it down on the pile by lowering and retracting the
jib in order to position the load correctly.
5) Free the forks by alternately retracting and lifting the jib (3) or, if possible, by reversing the lift
truck. Then bring the jib into the transport position.
