Carry A Load; Place A Load; Load Shift; Load Capacity Charts - Xtreme Manufacturing XR5919 Operation And Safety Manual

Carry A Load

1. Carry the load as low as possible while maintaining good
ground clearance and visibility.
2. Back away slowly.
3. To travel with a load, use low speed. NEVER travel at higher
speeds when carrying a load.

Place A Load

1. Before placing the load, refer to the appropriate load
capacity chart to determine safe boom extension range.
2. Position the forklift and place the Gear Selector in Neutral.
3. Set the Parking Brake switch to ON (engaged).
4. Align the forks at the level the load is to be placed.
5. Extend the boom slowly until the load is just above the area
where it is to be placed.
6. Lower the boom until the pallet rests in position and the
forks are free to retract.
7. Retract the forks slowly from under the load.

Load Shift

1. If the load shifts, stop the forklift immediately.
2. Lower and adjust the load to center its weight.
3. If the load shift is too great for adjustment, rearrange the
load before attempting to move the forklift.

Load Capacity Charts

DO NOT exceed rated capacity. Any attempt
to lift or carry loads in excess of those shown
on the load capacity charts could cause fork-
lift tip over, loss of load, or structural damage
which could result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
All load ratings shown on load capacity charts are based
on the forklift being on firm, level ground, the forks being
evenly positioned on the carriage, the load being centered
on the forks, properly sized tires properly inflated and/
or foam filled, and the forklift being in good operating
condition.
Operation Manual
Warning
Load capacity charts, located in the center of the dash panel,
are provided to assist the operator in determining how to
safely operate the boom to pick up, carry, and set down a load
with the reach forklift, including what angle, how high, and
how for to extend the boom.
Fig 83. Load Capacity Chart
Using Load Capacity Charts
The reach forklift includes two (2) indicators to assist the
operator for accurately using the load capacity charts. These
indicators are the Boom Extend Letters and the Boom Angle
Indicator.
Boom extend letters are located on the left side of the boom
and visible to the operator as the boom is extended. These
letters indicate boom extension as it corresponds to the load
capacity charts.
NOTE: For example, when letter "A" first appears, the boom
extension corresponds to the arc of line "A" throughout all the
load capacity charts.
