Operating Procedures
3. Travel with the reach mechanism retracted and the lift
mechanism raised only enough to clear the ground, base
arms, or obstacles. When the mast is in a raised position,
the stability of the lift truck is reduced. This is also true
when the lift truck is not carrying a load.

4. Travel with the load trailing and look in the direction of
travel. If the lift truck must travel in a direction where visibil-
ity is obstructed, a lookout helper may be required.
5. When traveling up or down a grade with a loaded lift
truck, keep the load downgrade to maintain control.
