1.1
Keep hands, gloves, shoes, control knobs and pedals clean. Slippery controls
can cause accidents. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel when traveling.
Load capacities are based on load center being within .6m (24 inches)
from front vertical face of forks.
Release trapped pressure before disconnecting, opening or removing any
hydraulic component.
Keep all windows and mirror(s) clean. Adjust mirror(s) as required for maximum
visibility, before and during operation.
Do not increase engine speed with the transmission in forward or
reverse and the service brake pedal depressed in an attempt to get quicker
hydraulic performance. This could cause unexpected machine movement.
After bringing the material handler to a stop using the service brake, place
the directional control lever in neutral, and set the park brake prior to lifting
a load.
Allow the handler to slow down, or use the service brakes prior to down-shifting.
Do not downshift more than one gear at a time.
When traveling on downhill slopes, downshift to a lower gear and use the service
brake as necessary to maintain a slow speed. Do not shift into neutral and
coast downhill.
Never permit diesel engine to run out of fuel. Doing so can cause severe
engine damage.
DO NOT burn or drill holes in forks. Modifying any part of machine or
attachment affects it’s capacity and/or stability of machine.
Keep head, arms, hands, legs and all other body parts inside the operator’s cab
at all times.
DO NOT approach power lines, overhead or underground cables or other
power sources with any part of your material handler or load unless all
local, state/provincial and federal regulations have been met and the
appropriate utility company’s hotline has been contacted to de-energize
the lines.
Whenever leaving the cab, perform standard shut-down procedure:
Standard Shut-Down Procedure
