1.2 Safety precautions and warnings
Please read this manual before you put the machine into operation for the first time, and observe the safety
instructions at all times. The most important instructions are marked with a symbol.
Any person in charge of the commencement of operation, the operation itself or the maintenance of the machine is
urged to carefully read and observe the following instructions.
1.2.1 Safety precautions
The following safety instructions apply to all types of WIFO Lifting masts. No distinction is made with regard to the
type of lifting vehicle used.
Operate the mast only from the driver's seat of the tractor. Ensure that there is adequate visibility of the
work activities from this position.
At all times make sure that everybody is out of range of the working range from the lifting mast and never
stand under the box/pallet or lifting mast. Please be aware of falling products.
Never transport people on/with the lifting mast.
This symbol is used for all important actions that should not be carried out under any circumstances.
Carefully observe these prohibitions.
This symbol is used for all important safety instructions throughout this manual. Carefully observe the
instructions and be very cautious.

You can only turn off the tractor when the lifting mast is in the lowest position. Ensure that the combination
cannot make any sudden movements, if the combination is not used. If the mast is removed and set aside, it
should be the supported by the support legs. Place the machine on a firm, flat surface.
Make sure the hydraulic hoses and any power cables do not get jammed when operating the lifting mast.
Make sure that when lifting or lowering the mast it doesn’t hit the tractor.
Make sure that the operating lever for operating the cylinder (s) may not be confused with other control
levers to prevent inadvertent tilting.
For lifting operations only use proper lifting pallets and boxes.
Place the forks as wide as possible in order to get the greatest possible stability of the load.
Load the pallet or box so that the load cannot fall off unexpectedly. Distribute the load as evenly as
possible on both forks. Keep the center of gravity of the load as close to the fork carriage.
Transport objects with the load as low as possible to keep the tractor as stable as possible. Ensure that
there is sufficient pressure on all 4 wheels of the tractor, also pay attention to the moving of the center of
gravity when lifting, lowering and other activities and especially pay attention to the rough terrain and
slopes when working. If desired, use counterweights and / or twin wheel. Or set the track width of the
tractor wider.
