N - PICKING UP A LOAD ON THE GROUND
 Tilt the load back far enough to ensure stability (loss of load while braking or going downhill).
 Approach the load with the telescopic handler perpendicular to the load, with the boom retracted and the forks in a horizontal position (fig. N1).
FOR A NON-PALLETIZED LOAD: Â Tilt the carriage (1) forward and move the telescopic handler slowly forward (2), to insert the forks under the load (fig. N4) (block the load if necessary). Â Continue to move the telescopic handler forward (2) tilting the carriage (3) (fig. N4) rearward to position the load on the forks and check the load's longitudinal and lateral stability.
 Adjust the fork spread and centering to best connect with the load (fig. N2).
O - PICKING UP A HIGH LOAD
WARNING DO NOT raise the boom until you have verified the side-to-side attitude of the telescopic handler. Make sure that the following operations can be performed with good visibility.
WARNING Beware of the risks of trapping or pinching limbs when manually adjusting the forks.
 Ensure that the forks will easily pass under the load.
 Never lift a load on a single fork.  Move the telescopic handler forward slowly (1) and bring the forks to stop in front of the load (fig. N3). If necessary, slightly lift the boom (2) while picking up the load.
 Lift and extend the boom (1) (2) until the forks are level with the load, moving the telescopic handler (3) forward if necessary (fig. O1), moving very slowly and carefully.
 Bring the load into the transport position.
