78 Model 6036
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.
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.
This vehicle is designed to lift and transport materials and should not be
used to elevate personnel except as explained in this section. 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:
Preparation and Setup
1. Make sure that the work platform is securely attached to the quick
attach or forks. Follow the platform manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Make sure the platform, carriage and forks are secured to prevent
them from pivoting from side to side.
3. Ensure the vehicle has a firm footing and is level.
4. Place the travel select lever in (N) NEUTRAL and move neutral lock
lever to NEUTRAL LOCK position.
