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.
