Picking up a load
Check whether the permissible bearing load of the vehicle and pallet
forks is appropriate for the weight of the load.
ü Adjust the fork spacing and lock the forks.
1. Approach the load in a straight line.
2. Set the pallet forks to the required height (1) in a horizontal position
(2).
3. Travel forward until the load touches the fork carriage (3).
4. Slightly raise (4) and tilt back (5) the pallet forks.
5. Reverse the vehicle (6) and set the load to transport height (7).
Transporting a load
• Transport the load as close as possible to the ground.
• Adjust a transport height that allows moving the pallet forks across
uneven ground without touching it. Adjust the height during transport-
ation if necessary.
• During vehicle travel up or down a slope the load must always be on
the uphill side.
• Secure the load with ratchet straps if necessary.
• If necessary, transport large, bulky loads in reverse to ensure suffi-
cient visibility.
