2. Make sure that the work platform is securely attached to the quick attach or
forks. Follow the platform manufacturerís instructions.

from pivoting from side to side.
4. On side tilt or swing carriages, the carriage must be centered and/or lev-
eled horizontally and vertically. The hydraulic system quick disconnects
must also be disconnected and plugged and the carriage securely fastened
to prevent any tilting or side to side swinging motion.

both empty and loaded.

being done.
