 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
c. Center the weight of wide loads
between the forks. Otherwise the load may
topple off the forks when you turn a corner
or hit a bump.
d. Watch "swing" when handling long
loads. Failure to watch clearance at the
ends of your load can cause you to strike
persons or objects.
e. Keep the load against the carriage.
This is most easily accomplished by
maintaining a slight backward tilt.
f. Do not travel with load raised. When
loads are carried in an elevated position
the stability of the truck is reduced. There
is also a possibility that the load or part of it
can fall on someone or something.
g. For better vision with bulky loads travel
in reverse, but always keep a proper
lookout in the direction of travel and always
keep the load upgrade on grades of 10% or
more. Normally, direction of travel should
be determined by the best visibility
available to the operator. However, when
grades of 10% or more are encountered
both truck and load stability demand that
the load be kept upgrade.
h. Lift and lower with the mast vertical or
tilted slightly back. Tilt elevated loads
forward only when directly over the
unloading place. If the load or lifting
mechanism is elevated to pickup or deposit
a load, keep the tilt in either direction to a
minimum.
