    3.2.4 Steering while unloaded Hands pressed down and the device supported on rear wheels Front wheels off ground allows the device to pivot on back wheels which reduces turning circle. • With rear wheels down, the machine can be easily pushed along in a straight line with no weight on the user’s hands.

  • Page 14: Loading And Unloading At Ground Level

    3.2.5 Loading and unloading at ground level This section explains how to get a load at ground level engaged onto the device and in a hands neutral position. A hands neutral position is when the device is loaded and the load is balanced against the weight of the device resulting in minimal balancing force required by the hands.

  • Page 15: Hook Operation
