13. Carry the load as low as safely possible during
transport. Observe minimum ground clearance.
14. Drive slowly and carefully forward straight
toward the place where the load will be set
down.
Setting Down Loads Using Pallet Forks
NOTE: If the load will be placed on top of
stacked material, make sure to align the load in
the center of the stack.
Do not stack loads which are not properly
packaged or have damaged pallets/stacking
containers. Do not stack loads, or on top of
loads, which have shifted.
15. Raise the pallet forks slightly above where the
load will be placed.
16. Tilt the pallet forks as needed to level the fork
arms.
17. Carefully drive slowly forward until the load is
positioned precisely above where the load will
be placed. Use care when aligning the load with
a stack.
18. Slowly and carefully lower the lift arm until the
load is placed.
19. Make sure the fork arms are no longer bearing
weight and are free to be retracted.
20. Make sure the area around and behind the
machine is clear of bystanders and obstacles.
21. Slowly and carefully drive in reverse away from
the placed load until the lift arm can be lowered
to transport position. See “Attachment Transport
Position” on page 96.
22. Slightly tilt the pallet fork frame backwards.
Lifting the Machine using a
Crane
The crane and the lifting gear must be adjusted
to the proper dimensions. Always lift the
machine so it is horizontal when it is raised.
Make sure the crane and the lifting gear (cables,
chains) have sufficient load-bearing capacity.
The crane and the lifting gear must be adjusted
to the proper dimensions.
Secure the machine against unintentional
movement!
Keep clear of suspended loads.
Never lift with anyone in or on the machine.
Securely fasten the lifting gear to the machine at
the designated lift points.
The crane lifting crew must include experienced
crane operators only.
Lift the machine only with no attachments, with
the exception that the standard bucket can
remain attached. The bucket must be empty and
set to transport position. See “Attachment
Transport Position” on page 96.
Crane Lifting Preparation
IMPORTANT: Crane handling requires lifting gear
with a spreader bar with 4 ropes, chains, etc.
1. If a bucket is attached, make sure it is emptied.
Tilt the bucket back.
2. Lower the lift arm.
3. Raise the arm rests/safety bars to apply the
parking brake and lock out the hydraulic
functions.
4. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
5. If equipped, close and lock the cab door. Do not
allow anyone to stay in the cab.
