Carry A Load; Place A Load; Load Shift; Elevating Personnel - Xtreme XR1255 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 first gear (1) for highest torque and
pulling power. NEVER travel in higher gears 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. Set the Parking Brake switch to ON (engaged).
3. Set the Declutch switch to ON.
Use of the frame sway control with the boom
raised above horizontal could cause tip over
resulting in death or injury. Always use the
frame sway control to level the forklift
BEFORE raising the boom above horizontal.
If the forklift cannot be leveled using the frame sway con-
trol, do not attempt to raise or place load. Reposition fork-
lift or have the surface leveled.
4. Use the frame sway control to level the forklift. For
additional information, refer to the Frame Leveling section in
this manual.
5. Align the forks at the level the load is to be placed.
6. Extend the boom slowly until the load is just above the area
where it is to be placed.
7. Lower the boom until the pallet rests in position and the
forks are free to retract.
8. Retract the forks slowly from under the load.

Warning

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.

Elevating Personnel

Use only a compliant work platform to lift or lower
personnel. Never drive the forklift with the work platform
in a raised position or with personnel on board, even for
a short distance. Doing so could result in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
Please refer to ANSI/ITSDF B56.6 for additional design and
operating information regarding elevating personnel.
Design Requirements For A Personnel Platform:
1. Platform floor must have a slip resistant surface located not
more than 8 inches above the normal load supporting surface
of the fork.
2. Platform floor dimensions shall not exceed two times the
load center distance. This floor dimension is measured parallel
to the longitudinal center pane of the forklift.
3. Platform floor width shall not be greater than the overall
width of the forklift, measured across the load bearing tires,
plus 10 inches on each side.
4. Minimum space requirements for each person on the
platform shall not be less than 18 inches in either direction.
5. Minimum 4 inches height toe plate around the perimeter
of the platform which may be omitted at the access opening.
6. On the overhead protection device, when requested by the
user.
7. Protection must be provided for the personnel in their
normal working position on the platform from moving parts
of the rough terrain forklift that represent a hazard.
