STACKING

4.9.1

HOW TO DRAW A LOAD

Approach the load perpendicularly with the boom retracted and the forks in a horizontal position. If the
forks do not have the transversal movement system (optional), engage the parking brake, climb off the
machine and move the forks manually making sure they are central with respect to both the load and the
machine.
Attention! Risk of crushing fingers while moving the forks. Pay attention.
Slowly drive the machine while slightly lifting the forks. Insert the forks fully until they are supporting the
load. Slightly lift the boom and tilt the forks backwards (transport position). Tilt the forks enough to
stabilise the load preventing it moving forwards in case of sudden braking during transport.
4.9.2

HOW TO PICK A LOAD FROM ABOVE

Slowly move the machine forward, lifting the forks so
as to be positioned vertically under the point from
where the load is to be picked up. Insert the forks fully
until they are supporting the load. Slightly lift the
boom and tilt the forks backwards (transport position).
Tilt the forks enough to stabilise the load preventing it
moving forwards in case of sudden braking during
transport. Move the machine backwards and lower the
telescopic boom.
To lay a load on its side perform the same operations
in reverse order.
