3606 Rev 11/99
Operation
The maximum load capacity for this vehicle is 6,600 pounds (2994 Kg). The
matched pair or set of forks used on this vehicle should have total load
ratings which equal or exceed 6,600 pounds (2994 Kg). When the load
rating of the vehicle differs from the load capacity of the forks, the lower
value becomes the overall load capacity.
To pick a load, tilt the carriage forward so the forks hang freely on the fork
shaft. Move the forks inward or outward on the fork shaft so that they are
aligned with the openings in the pallet. Tilt the carriage back and extend the
boom slowly so the forks slide into the openings in the pallet. Raise the
boom so that the load is lifted.
To carry a load, position the boom so that the load is as low as possible and
the travel area is visible to the operator.
Before placing the load, use the capacity chart to determine safe boom
extension range for the applicable load. To place a load, align the forks at
the level the load is to be placed and then extend the boom slowly until the
load is just above the area where it is to be placed. Lower the boom until the
pallet rests in position and the forks are free to retract.
This vehicle is designed to lift and transport materials and in many cases
should not be used to elevate personnel. Only equipment designed and
approved for elevating personnel should be used.
If the vehicle must be used to elevate personnel, use only an approved
work platform. When using a work platform, the following precautions must
be taken:
How To Pick, Carry & Place A Load
Elevating Personnel
WARNING
Use only an approved work platform to lift or lower personnel.
Never drive the vehicle with the work platform in a raised position or
with personnel on board, even for a short distance.
