Placing a Load

causym CAUTION: ALWAYS ensure any scaffolding, loading platform or stack can support the load before unloading on to it. NEVER attempt to place a load on ground that is not firm, is unstable or not capable of supporting a fully laden machine.

1. Approach the stack squarely with the load low, tilted backwards and the boom fully retracted. Then apply the parking brake and select neutral gear.

2. Raise then extend the boom until the load is directly over the stack (A). Monitor the boom angle and extension. Cancel the operation if the safety limits are exceeded, by firstly retracting the boom then lowering it.

3. Tilt the load forward and lower the load on to the stack by adjusting the boom angle. Retract the boom slightly if necessary to position the load (B).

4. Free and withdraw the forks by alternative use of the boom retract, lift and tilt controls. On level ground the forks may be withdrawn by reversing the machine from the stack after freeing the forks and ensuring the way is clear (C).

5. When clear of the stack, tilt the carriage backwards, retract then lower the boom to just above the ground level before moving off.
