Wide Loads; Double Fork A Load; Traction Control Operation (Diff. Lock Switch) - BRIGHT Coop BC3 6560 Manual Del Operador

Wide loads

A wide load is one that will not fit between the front wheels and forklift frame during transport.
1. Approach the load slowly, aligning the forklift and forks with the load's center of gravity. When the forks are fully
engaged, set the park brake and lower the stabilizers.
2. Raise the forks to lift the load. Tilt the mast back, placing the load against the backrest. Raise the load enough
to clear the tires and fully retract the mast. Raise or lower the forks keeping the load off the frame, side shift the
mast to center the load as needed.
3. Raise the stabilizers. Check traffic; release the park brake, drive or back away slowly, watch your direction of
travel and the stability of the load. Travel with caution.

Double fork a load

The forklift capacity is reduced when the forks do not fully engage a load. On occasion it may be necessary to move
or reposition a load before the forks can be fully engaged; this is called "DOUBLE FORKING". With the forklift properly
positioned and the stabilizers lowered, raise the load slightly; bring the load backward by retracting the mast. Lower
the load into a stable position; extend the mast forward to fully engage the load. Never attempt to lift or "double fork" an
unstable load.

Traction control operation (Diff. Lock Switch)

Under normal operating conditions the forklift utilizes independent all wheel drive. However, in some slippery conditions
(such as mud, loose gravel or wet concrete incline) one or more wheels may slip or spin free, causing loss of traction. To
maintain traction, the traction control can be engaged, causing all 3 wheels to turn at the same speed. Before engaging;
while the forklift is stopped or in motion, after the rear steer wheel has been aligned with the front wheels. Press and hold
the Diff. Lock control switch for continuous use, release the switch to disengage the traction control. Additional engine
speed is usually required when using the traction control. Improper use of the traction control on non-slippery surfaces
causes excessive tire wear and may over heat the power train.
