Operation Transporting loads with the pallet forks DANGER! When transporting loads with the pallet forks raised, the load can fall down or the machine can tilt –
Accident risk. When turning or driving on slopes, the center of gravity must always be in the lowest possible position.
☞ To avoid accidents: • Tilt the pallet forks slightly rearward. • Lower the pallet forks to the transport position, and only raise them (if necessary) just before setting down the load. • Never raise the load over persons. • Never park the machine with the load raised. • Avoid any operation that might endanger machine stability.
☞ Only move the load after it is placed on the fork arms. ☞ Only move the machine after you have sufficient visibility.

☞ Lower/raise loads to the transport position before moving and transporting them. If necessary, increase ground clearance for off-road applications.
(ground clearance – see Checking the transport position of the bucket on page 83).

☞ Always tilt the pallet forks slightly back (towards the machine) for transport. ☞ Always drive slowly (especially in off-road applications) to avoid strong swinging movements.
☞ When driving or working across a slope, the load must be on the uphill side of the machine/attachment.
☞ Drive the machine rearward on sloping terrain to prevent the load from falling off and the machine from tilting forward when braking.
☞ Drive the machine rearward when transporting large bulk loads for improved visibility. 12680190.ai
