Picking Up a Load

causym CAUTION: NEVER operate the boom or attachments with the machine at speed. NEVER leave the machine unattended with the load or boom raised.

1. A - Ensure forks pass cleanly under load. Drive slowly, engage forks centrally until the carriage touches the load. Apply the parking brake. Select neutral.

2. B - Raise the boom slowly to lift the load whilst monitoring the boom angle and load indicator to ensure that the boom remains within the safety limits. Replace load if in danger or doubt.

3. C - Tilt the carriage back to stabilize the load. First retract then lower the boom to the travelling position, which is the lowest position that will give adequate ground clearance over the work site area.

4. D - When the area behind the machine is clear, select a reverse gear, release the parking brake and slowly reverse away from the stack .
