LAYING A HIGH LOAD ON TYRES
- Approach the load in the transport position in front of the pile (fig. F6).
- Put the handbrake on and set the forward/reverse selector to neutral.
- Lift and extend the jib (1) (2) until the load is above the pile, while keeping an eye on the
longitudinal stability limiter and warning device (see: INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A
LOAD: C - LONGITUDINAL STABILITY LIMITER AND WARNING DEVICE). If necessary, move
the lift truck (3) forward (fig. F7), driving very slowly and carefully.
- Place the load in a horizontal position and lay it down on the pile by lowering and retracting
the jib (1) (2) in order to position the load correctly (fig. F8).
- If possible, release the fork by alternately retracting and raising the jib (1) (fig. F9). Then set
the forks into transport position.
- If this is not possible, reverse the lift truck (1) very slowly and carefully to release the
forks (fig. F10). Then set them into transport position.
