GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

7. Use the transfer carriage to place the load
directly over the landing point. The transfer
carriage allows safe and easy placement of the
load without moving the machine. (Consult load
charts for transfer capacity.) Forks should be
level and parallel to the landing surface so that
they may be easily retracted from under the load.
Before retracting the forks, check landing point
for any excessive bowing, cracking noises or
other indications of overloading.
.
If there is any indication that the landing surface
cannot handle the weight of the load, place the
load at a different location that you know can
handle the weight. If the landing surface cannot
handle the weight of the load, pick the load back
up, lower it to the ground and lift a lighter load.
8. Lower the load slowly to place it and relieve the
weight from the forks. Retract the transfer
carriage until the forks are clear of the load.
Lower and retract the boom BEFORE moving
the machine.
9. The forklift can now be moved from the landing
location to continue work.
LIFTING PERSONNEL
LULL ® strongly recommends that you DO NOT use
the rough terrain forklift as a personnel lift. It is designed
for material handling ONLY. If personnel MUST be
lifted, lift only in accordance with ASME/ANSI B56.6
1992 , Para. 5.15 and with a properly designed work
platform.
