OPERATING THE TRUCK
PICKING UP A LOAD
When picking up a load from the ground, approach the load slowly and
carefully align the truck square with the load. Ensure that the forks are
adjusted to t the load or pallet being handled and spread as wide as
possible to provide good stability and balance.
• Before lifting, be sure the load is centered and the forks are fully
under and supporting the load.
• Supporting the load. The fork length should be at least 2/3 of load
length. Using the lift, reach and tilt function with the multifunction
handle to adjust the forks to the correct height and angle for freely
engaging the load.
• Move forward until the load wheels are square to the load, then
reach the forks out and completely under the load.
• Slowly tilt back & raise the load until it clears the top of the load
wheels, then retract the load fully.
NOTE: Be sure that the forks do not extend beyond the load collected
causing damage or pushing of other adjacent materials behind the load
being moved.
WARNING
!
!
• Forks are not horizontal, the load can slide off the forks or
catch on the rack. When the load is lifted or lowered the
forks should always be positioned horizontally. The forks and
load must be positioned completely clear of the racking and
other obstructions before lifting and lowering begins.
• Raise the load from the oor or rack by tilting the forks back just
enough to lift the load from the surface when stacking, tiering, or
racking use only enough backward tilt to stabilize the load.
• Once clear of rack or stack lower the load to traveling height, just
above the load wheels and tilt fully back to travel (except for loads
that must be transported as level as possible).
Placing Loads in Racking
1. Drive the truck parallel with the rack, with the rack on the right side
of the 1H2 (SRX).
2. Turn slowly into the rack. Watch the outriggers and the rear of the
truck as you move forward.
3. Stop when the load is within a couple of inches of the rack.
4. Raise load 4-6 inches above the rack, making sure you have plenty
of clearance above the load and around the truck itself.
5. Extend carriage, forks and load into the rack
6. Drive forward until outriggers are a couple of inches from rack or
the load is in position.
7. Tilt forks down until the load is level and lower until the forks clear
the pallet.
8. Retract the reach slowly.
9. When the forks are fully retracted, sound horn reverse and swing
back parallel to the rack, lower the carriage and forks to travel
height.
NOTE:
In some applications it would be a good idea to have a spotter in the
next aisle. The spotter can watch and make sure that you do not push
other items off into the next aisle or on to a person.
