UNSTACKING
1) When approaching the area where the load is to be retrieved,
slow down the truck.
2) Stop the truck right in front of the load where the distance
between the fork tips and the load is about 30 cm.
3) Check the condition of the stack.
4) Tilt the mast forward until the forks become horizontal and lift
up to the position of the pallet or skid.
5) Make sure the forks are positioned properly for the pallet. Move
forward slowly to insert the forks into the pallet as far as possible.
Stop the truck.
* Ifthe forks are hard to be fully inserted, use the following
procedure:
@ Move forward to insert 3/4 of the forks. Raise the forks 5 to
10 cm, back away 10 to 20 cm with the pallet or skid on the
forks. Lower the pallet or skid on the stack.
@) Move forward again to insert the forks into the pallet fully.
6) Raise the forks 5 to 10 cm off the stack.
7) Confirm the safety behind the truck and back away slowly to
the position where the load can be put safely.
8) Slowly lower the load to a height of 15 to 20 cm above the
ground or floor surface. Tilt back the mast fully and move to the
desired area.
