Procedure for placing pallets: first approach the pallet until Reach Lift feet are nearly touching, then, with the joystick, extend the forks through the pallet, tilt forks upward to secure the pallet, lift pallet until it is above Reach Lift feet, and retract forks with pallet secured. The reverse procedure is followed when placing a pallet into a bay or overhead. The joystick also has a control for the side to side movement of the forks.
