Operating Procedures WARNING If the fork/locking pin is not fully engaged, the fork could become unintentionally disengaged. 3. Position each fork the same distance from the center of the carriage. This action will help center the load on the carriage. Set the forks as far apart as possible for maxi- mum support of the load.
DO NOT lift or hit anything that can fall on the operator or a bystander. Remember, a lift truck equipped with a Hyster overhead guard and load backrest extension provides rea- sonable protection to the operator from falling objects, but can not protect against every possible impact.
