Operation
59
C2500CB-OM-EN-16
Never carry passengers on the truck.
Obey site rules and take particular care when there are pedestrians who should
be given priority.
Use banks men if operating in congested or busy areas.
Operate controls smoothly.
Stop the truck, apply the park brake and select neutral before lifting a load.
4-Way Drive Loading/Unloading Advantages
The 4-way travel capability of the Combilift truck allows for much easier alignment
of the forks/load with the picking/placing area than with any other conventional
type of forklift truck.
To position the forks/load precisely with the placing/picking location select the
required drive direction with the 4-Way direction lever.
Fully press the brake/inch pedal, look all around to make sure the way is clear,
then release the park brake.
Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed then gradually release
the brake/inch pedal until the truck starts to move slowly.
Make small steering corrections as necessary to position the forks/load precisely.
When the desired position is achieved, fully press the brake/inch pedal, apply the
park brake, release the accelerator pedal and select neutral.
Undercutting a Load
This is when the forks are not fully inserted into the pallet or under a load. It may be
necessary to do this when it is not possible to get close enough to the pallet/load to
insert the forks fully.
Picking up an undercut load:
Drive forward to insert the forks as far as possible into the pallet or under the
load. The forks must be inserted by at least two thirds the depth of the pallet/load.
Gradually lift the load just enough to check that it is stable.
If the load is unstable lower it back to its original position and report the problem
to the relevant supervisor.
If the load is stable, slowly reverse the truck just enough to clear the
racking/stack.
Lower the pallet/load onto the ground.
Warning
The load centre is increased and therefore the lifting capacity is reduced
when the front face of the forks is not touching the load.
Ensure the truck has sufficient capacity to cope with the increase in load
centre.
