NOTE: Not every load can be lifted using only the forks of a
lift truck. Some loads will require a special attachment.
When lifting round objects, use a block behind the object.
Tilt the forks forward so that they can slide along the floor
under the load to be lifted. When the load is on the forks, tilt
fully backward to help keep the load on the forks.
Traveling
1. Keep hands and fingers inside the control handle guard
to avoid injury from passing obstructions. Keep feet clear of
the lift truck when walking with the lift truck. Travel slowly
when turning. When approaching blind intersections or
turns, slow down and sound the horn.
2. When traveling, keep the load lowered, against the car-
riage and tilted back. This will help keep the load on the
forks and give good forward and side stability. Avoid hitting
objects such as stacked material that could become dis-
lodged and fall.
