Handling (cont.)
7. Check the load, particularly when turning corners and if it is very bulky.
8. Secure unstable loads.
9. Handle loads with caution at low speed, and without sudden jerks when moving them at significant heights and
mast extension.
10. Do not change direction sharply and at high speed.
11. Apply the parking brake when lifting or depositing a difficult load or when on an incline.
12. Do not stop the forklift with the load in an elevated position.
13. Do not leave a laden forklift with the parking brake applied on an incline, which exceeds 15%.
14. High winds jeopardize the stability of the forklift.
Visibility
If the visibility in forward motion is not sufficient because of the bulkiness of the load, drive in reverse motion. Ensure
you have good visibility.
Check the placement area
Before lifting or placing a load, check the area to be sure it will support the forklift and load?
Lifting a load from ground level
1. Approach the load slowly, aligning the fork-
lift and forks with the load. Stop the forklift
before engaging the load. Using the control
levers, align the forks to the correct height
and angle. Fig. 1
2. Move forward slowly, until the forks are fully engaged and
the load is against the backrest. Raise the forks to lift the
load. Tilt the mast back, placing the load against the back-
rest. Raise or lower the forks to transport position, side
shift the mast to center the load as needed. Fig. 2

In the event of the forklift overturning, do not try to leave
