Operation
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, determine whether the outriggers are to be in the
raised or lowered position. Then 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. Retract the
forks slowly from under the load.
