Operating Procedures

Load Handling, General WARNING

1. The capacity is the maximum
load that the lift truck can handle for
the load condition shown on the
Nameplate. The operator must
know whether or not a load is within
the maximum capacity of the lift
truck before the load is handled.
However, such factors as weak floors, uneven terrain, spe-
cial load handling attachments, or loads having a high cen-
ter of gravity can mean that the safe working load is less
than the rated capacity. When such conditions exist, the
operator must reduce the load so that the lift truck will
remain stable.
DO NOT handle a load if
any loose part of it is
above the load backrest
or any part of the load is
likely to fall.
2. Handle only stable
loads. A load can have
unstable items that can
easily shift and fall on
someone.
3. Position each fork the same distance from the center of
the carriage. This action will help center the load on the
carriage. Set the forks as far apart as possible for maxi-
mum support of the load. Center the weight of the load
between the forks.
