Especially note instructions about lifting height. The truck is designed not to move when extended.
The high lift feature only works on pallets with an open bottom : often, this means you can lift it from the end but not the side. It is also possible to set a pallet up on spacers so the truck can go fully underneath. If the forks are inserted into a closed pallet, lifting above the minimum needed to move it will tear the pallet apart.
