NOTE:
Turning and maneuvering the lift
truck is made easier if the truck is

OPERATING THE LIFT

not strike any obstruction
while being raised.

Adjust the forks to the maximum prac-
tical width to support the load.

Raise the forks to the desired height for
entry under the load.

Move the lift truck into position so that
the forks are centered under the load.

CAUTION:
The load must rest squarely
on its rack when it is low-
ered into position.

forks until the pallet rests on its rack and
the forks are free.
12. Slowly move the lift truck back-ward,
checking that the forks do not catch on
the pallet or rack.
13. Lower the forks when they are clear.
14. Proceed to move the next load.
