Side Shift Operation - UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual

SIDE SHIFT OPERATION

1. Pallet
2. Fork
3. Deviation
4. Center of forks
5. Center of pallet
This section describes the operation of your side shift.
Always keep the side shift finger bar in the neutral position except
during load handling.
Adjust the forks as far apart as possible in order to minimize the
deviation.
For basic operations, refer to the instructions in "Loading and
Unloading" previously in this manual.
If the forks deviate either to the right or the left, operate the side shift
lever and shift (move) the forks until the center of the pallet matches the
center of the interval between the forks.
!
• Do not shift the forks while the forks are inserted into the
pallet. This could cause the load to shift if the pallet is
pushed.
• If it is not possible for the forks to be centered under the load
even with them shifted as far as possible, back the lift truck
out and try to center the forks under the load. Always ensure
loads are centered and secure before lifting or traveling.
!
• Do not shift while traveling with loads.
STACKING
!
• Do not operate the side shift when loads are lifted until load
is in position to be placed. Doing so could cause loads to
shift or the lift truck to possibly tip over.
• Do not operate the side shift lever and the lift lever quickly. It
is dangerous if a load collapse occurs.
