Page 59: Positioning Forks And Upright
Positioning Forks and Upright When driving, with or without a load, it is good practice to always raise the forks slightly and tilt the forks backward. Raising the forks and tilting them back prevents the fork tips from catching on possible obstructions and reduces the wear on the fork blades from striking or dragging on the floor or ground. See the NOTICE and CAUTION below. -
Page 60: Controlling Speed
Controlling Speed To move the truck either forward or reverse, move the multi-function handle in the direction that you want the truck to move. Move the handle toward the front of the truck to go forward or toward the rear of the truck to move the truck in reverse. -
Page 61: Operating Safely
Operating Safely WARNING Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator. Watch where you are going. Don't go if you can't see. Before driving, check all around to be sure that your intended path of travel is clear of obstructions and pedestrians. While driving, be alert for pedestrians, other vehicles or obstructions in your path of travel. - Page 62 Always be in full control of your lift truck... Never operate a lift truck or its attachments if you are not in the desig- nated operator's position. Never operate a lift truck when your hands are wet or greasy. Always pick the smoothest travel route for your lift truck. Avoid bumps, holes, slick spots, and loose objects or debris in your path that may cause the truck to swerve or tip.
- Page 63 CAUTION Be sure that your truck is the correct fire safety type for the area in which you are working. The proper type designation for this truck is listed on the nameplate. In areas classified as hazardous, use only trucks approved for use in those areas.
-
Page 64: Adjusting The Load Forks
Adjusting the Load Forks The load forks are adjustable on the car- riage fork bar. Forks should be spaced as far apart as the load being carried will allow. Both forks should always be the same distance from the center of the fork carriage. -
Page 65: Traveling With A Load
WARNING Slack chains mean rail or carriage hang-up. Raise the up- right before you move. If the upright malfunctions in any way or becomes stuck in a raised position, operate the lift control to eliminate any slack chains. Have the truck fixed by a trained and authorized mechanic. -
Page 66: Picking Up And Moving Loads
Watch clearances around the truck and load as you travel. Raise the forks or attachment only to pick up or stack a load. Look out for ob- structions, especially overhead. Be aware that exaggerated tail swing, when turning while traveling forward, is a characteristic of lift trucks that are steered by the rear wheels. -
Page 67: Unloading
If the forks are longer than the load, move the tips partially under the load without extending beyond the load. Raise the load to clear the floor. Back out several inches, or whatever distance is necessary, then set the load down and move forward until the load is positioned against the face of the forks. -
Page 68: Stacking
Stacking To put a load on a stack: Approach slowly and align the lift truck and load squarely with the stack. Level the load as the lift truck is nearing the stack using the Fork Level function. Move forward, slowly, until the load is almost touching the stack. - Page 69 To move a load from a stack: Approach the stack carefully, truck lined up squarely with the load. With upright vertical, raise the forks to the correct height for freely engaging the load pallet. Adjust fork angle as necessary to fit squarely under the load. Move forward until the forks are under the load. NOTICE Be sure that the forks do not extend beyond the load, causing damage or tipping of other adjacent loads or...
