How To Pick, Carry & Place a Load
To pick up a load, tilt carriage forward so that forks hang
freely on the fork shaft. Move the forks inward or outward
on the fork shaft so that they are aligned with the open-
ings in the pallet. Tilt the carriage back and extend the
boom slowly so that the forks slide into the openings in
the pallet. Raise the boom so that the load is lifted.
To carry a load, position boom so that the load is as low
as possible and the travel area is visible to the operator.
Before placing a 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. Retract the forks slowly from under the
load
