and negotiating corners. Always ensure adequate all round visibility.
Special Safety Instructions
Take extra care when hitching up or un-hitching the bag lift to/from the forklift/loader.
Be aware of what is under the bag lift (such as someone’s feet) before dropping it off.
Ensure that the forklift/loaders hydraulic system is in full working order.
Never allow any person to stand between the forklift/loader and the bag lift during
connection or at any time unless the forklift/loader is secured against rolling away by
use of a parking brake and/or wheel chocks.
It is forbidden to allow any persons to ride or sit on the bag lift at any time. Observers
should maintain a safe distance when machine is in use.
When performing any adjustments to the bag lift the forklift/loader engine must be

attachment of mounted machines and it is important to ensure adequate steering and
braking ability as required.
