Load Handling, Lifting, Lowering, And Tilting - Yale VERACITOR GCC030VX Operating Manual

Operating Procedures
WARNING
If the fork/locking pin is not
fully engaged, the fork could
become unintentionally disen-
gaged.
3. Position each fork the same
distance from the center of the
carriage. This action will help
center the load on the carriage.
Set the forks as far apart as possible for maximum support
of the load. Center the weight of the load between the
forks.

WARNING
Do not handle a load if
any loose part of it is
above the load backrest
or any part of the load is
likely to fail.
2. Handle only stable loads.
A load can have unstable
items that can easily shift
and fall on someone.
If the weight of the load is not centered between the forks,
the load can fall from the forks when you turn a corner or
hit a bump. An off-center load will increase the possibility of
the truck tipping over to the side. Make sure the pins that
keep the forks in position are engaged so that the forks
cannot move.
4. Check the condition of the driving surface. Make sure the
floor will support the weight of the lift truck and the load.

NOTE: Manual hydraulic levers are standard on the models
of trucks covered in this manual. Two optional features are
available to control the hydraulic functions: electronic

The LIFT and TILT functions are controlled by separate
levers or by moving the joystick in different directions. See
the Operator Controls section in the Model Description
section for the correct operation.
The speed of the hydraulic functions is controlled by the
position of the control levers or the position of the joystick.
The farther the hand lever or joystick is moved from the
