Lifting
Loads:
1.
Using the load chart, confirm that the load
is
within the rated
capacity
of
the machine for the required configuration.
11
Level the machine using the level gauge before lifting loads. Use
the sway control to level the machine only when the boom is
at
horizontal or lower. Using the sway control with the boom above
horizontal may cause the machine
to
overturn.
m.
Verify that the load is secured on the forks before performing a lift.
Rearrange the load
if
necessary.
IV, Before lowering a maximum load, always retract the boom
completely.
v.
Use proper attachments, such as a truss boom, to lift suspended
loads.
14.
lfthe load
to
be lifted exceeds the capacity ofthe machine for the given
configuration:
1.
Move the machine closer to the load so that the weight
of
the load
will be within the allowable load chart specifications.
11
Divide the load into smaller pieces.
m.
Get a larger machine capable
of
handling the load.
15.
Always move a load
so
that you have maximum machine stability and visibility
is
not obstructed. Keep the boom at or below horizontal, with the load close to the
ground.
16.
Tilt the
forks
back towards the machine slightly during travel to ensure stability
of
the
load.
