LOAD HANDLING
Never overload
WARNING
Know the rated capacity of your lift truck and its attachment,
if any, and never exceed it; otherwise the rear wheels will be
raised, thus making it difficult to travel and turn. There is also
danger of the truck tipping over.
Do not jerk the forks (lift, down, and tilt) when loaded
The truck might tip over.
1-27
Do not tilt the mast with loads high
Use minimum forward and reverse tilt when stacking and
unstacking loads. Never tilt forward unless the load is over stack;
otherwise the truck might tip over.
Do not lift or start with mast tilted forward
When the mast is tilted forward, do not perform the following
operations: lifting the forks and starting and traveling the truck.
Do not stack or unstack loads on a sloping grade
Do not squeeze loads into the stack
Do not squeeze loads into the stack using the truck's traction
force. This will cause damage to the truck or loads, causing the
truck to tip over.
Do not lift off-centered loads
Make sure that the loads are evenly positioned across the forks and
that the load's center of gravity is aligned with the truck's center of
gravity. Off-centered loads might cause the truck to turn over.
