5 Operation
Go up and down grades slowly and carefully. The mast must be extended and
as low as possible when climbing grades. Grades that are approaching the fork-
lift's capability limits should be climbed in reverse with the mast fully retracted.
Extreme care must be taken in these cases. Avoid turning on grades, ramps,
or inclines. Stopping distance going down grades will be longer. Slow down and
allow enough room at bottom of grades to stop.
Travel with forks raised only far enough to clear road surface and tilted back.
Starts, stops, turns, and directional changes must be made smoothly to prevent
overturn.
Operators must always be aware of any obstacles that may interfere with forklift
travel. These objects include: ground obstacles, ceilings, ceiling fixtures, and
objects interfering with the forklift travel path.
DEPOSITING LOAD-MAST RETRACTED
To deposit load after being moved into correct position, tilt mast forward to ver-
tical position and lower load.
Adjust fork height and tilt mast forward as needed for smooth fork removal from
load.
Carefully back away and clear forks from the load.
Raise forks for travel and tilt mast back.
DEPOSITING LOAD-MAST EXTENDED
To deposit load after being moved into correct position, tilt mast forward to verti-
cal position and put stabilizers down. Extend mast and lower load.
Adjust fork height and tilt mast forward as needed for smooth fork removal from
load.
Carefully retract mast all the way from the load.
Raise stabilizers and back away from the load.
Raise forks for travel and tilt mast back.
