HANDLE FORK
1.
Adjust the space between the forks according to the size
of the load.
Secure an enough space as possible for the fork so that
the load will be stable.
2.
Set the forks horizontal, drive the machine forward slowly,
and insert the forks under the load so that the load can be
loaded on the center of the forks.
3.
Keep driving forward until the forks are inserted completely
under the load and the load comes to contact with the car-
riage back.
4.
Raise the fork approximately 15 cm off from the ground or
the another one under the load. Tilt the fork so that the
load leans against the carriage back.
5.
Check that there is no obstacle rearward. Drive the ma-
chine in reverse so that the load can be lowered.
6.
Lower the load to near the ground (approximately 30 cm
off from the ground).
CARRY
• Do not perform rapid turning, rapid acceleration, nor rapid deceleration when carrying the load. Oth-
erwise, the load may fall or the machine may become inclined.
• Tilting angle of the fork varies depending on the load. If the load is stacked higher than the height of
the carriage back, it may slip and fall backward.
