Position the mast in the vertical position. Raise the load 6 in (15 cm) taller than the area you want to drop it. Drive the forklift slowly until your load is above the place you want to set it down. Lower the forks until the pallet is set down. Back straight out from the load to remove the tines.

When you reach the location where you need to drop off the load, push the lever that controls the tilt forward to make the mast vertical again. Otherwise, you’ll lift or set your load down crooked. Make sure you have the parking brake on and the forklift in neutral while you adjust the height. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) between the forks and the place where you’re setting the load. If you’re dropping the load on the ground, you don’t need to adjust the height since it should already be just above the ground. Deactivate the parking brake and shift the forklift to forward. Slowly move forward until the load is directly over the place where you’re dropping it. When you’re in the right spot, press down on the brake pedal to stop and shift into neutral before applying the parking brake again. If you’re setting your load down on a stand, make sure it’s centered over the stand before setting it down. Use the lever on the right side of the steering column to lower the load. Make sure the pallet has full contact with the surface underneath. You should be able to feel the weight of the load come off the forks once it’s set down. Check behind you to make sure no one is standing there. Shift the forklift into reverse, disengage the parking brake, and use the accelerator to slowly back out from the load. Make sure not to turn or else you could knock the load over. Don’t forget to lower the fork closer to the ground before you start driving again.
