Safety Practices

12. Falling Load Hazard

DO NOT exceed the total rated load capacity of the specific type fork
being used. Each fork is stamped with a maximum load capacity. If the
capacity is exceeded, forks may break. See “Fork Ratings” on page 89.

DO NOT downshift at a high ground speed. Sudden slowing can cause
the load to drop off the forks.

13. Ventilation

Sparks from the electrical system and the engine exhaust can cause an
explosion. DO NOT operate this vehicle in an area with flammable dust
or vapors unless good ventilation has removed the hazard.

Carbon monoxide fumes from the engine exhaust can cause suffocation
in an enclosed area. Good ventilation is very important when operating
this vehicle.
