Working with the Mast
Introduction
!MDANGER
Under no circumstances should personnel be lifted
into the air without using an approved and properly
secured platform. Failure to follow this warning could
result in death or serious injury.

!MWARNING
Safe Working Loads
Overloading the machine can damage it and make it
unstable. Study the Rating Plate in the cab before
using the machine.
Remember that mast attachments may reduce the
machine's lifting capacity.

!MWARNING
Maintain correct tyre pressures to avoid upsetting the
lateral stability of the machine. Inspect tyres daily for
signs of damage, cuts or embedded objects which
could cause loss of pressure.

!MWARNING
Stop the machine and apply the park brake before
conducting any lifting operations.

!MCAUTION
Loading and unloading on soft or uneven ground can
be hazardous. The machine could tip over and you
could be killed or injured. Make sure that the ground is
level and firm before loading and unloading.
Whenever possible, avoid soft or uneven ground when
carrying a load.
5-2-3-7
!MCAUTION
Know the weight of the load before trying to lift it.
Raise the load only a few inches at first, to check that
the machine is stable. Lower the load straight away if
the machine begins to feel unstable.
Do not exceed the loading limits shown on the Rating
Plate.
9-2-2-5
!MCAUTION
Travelling too fast or with the load too high can make
the machine tip over. Keep the load close to the
ground when travelling. Do not go faster than walking
pace when the machine is at full load capacity. Drive
carefully over bumps and kerbs. Do not operate the
mast and carriage controls while the machine is
moving.
9-2-2-4_1
Practice with palleted loads first. Do not handle awkward
loads until you can handle palleted loads safely and
confidently.
Make sure that any location where a load is to be placed is
strong enough to hold the weight of the load.
Look in the direction of travel and keep a clear view of the
way ahead. Seek assistance if forward vision is obscured
by a bulky load.
Particular care is required when driving off level ground,
see Use of Machines on Gradients or Slopes
(OPERATION section).
Do not carry stacked loads that are higher than the fork
carriage.
Drive at a speed consistent with conditions. Slow down
when travelling on wet, slippery or loose surfaces.
Drive with care to minimise bouncing over rough surfaces.
This can result in loss of load.
