WARNING
Do not operate this truck unless you
have been authorized and trained to
do so, and have read all warnings and
instructions in Operator’s Manual and
on this truck.
Do not operate this truck until you
have checked its condition. Give spe-
cial attention to tires, horn, battery,
controller, lift system (including forks
or attachments, chains, cables and
limit switches), brakes, steering
mechanism, guards and safety
devices.
Operate truck only from designated
operating position. Never place any
part of your body into the mast struc-
ture or between the mast and the
truck. Do not carry passengers. Keep
feet clear of truck and wear foot pro-
tection.
Observe applicable traffic regulations.
Yield right of way to pedestrians. Slow
down and sound horn at cross aisles
and wherever vision is obstructed.
Start, stop, travel, steer and brake
smoothly. Slow down for turns and on
uneven or slippery surfaces that could
cause truck to slide or overturn. Use
special care when traveling without
load as the risk of overturn may be
greater.
Travel with lifting mechanism as low
as possible. Always look in direction
of travel. Keep a clear view, and when
load interferes with visibility, travel
with load trailing.
Use special care when operating on
ramps travel slowly, and do not angle
or turn. Travel with load downhill.
Do not overload truck. Check name-
plate for capacity and load center
information.
When using forks, space forks as far
apart as load will permit. Before lifting,
be sure load is centered, forks are
completely under load, and load is as
far back as possible against load
backrest.
Do not handle unstable or loosely
stacked loads. Use special care when
handling long, high or wide loads, to
avoid losing the load, striking
bystanders, or tipping the truck.
Do not handle loads which are higher
than the load backrest or load back-
rest extension unless load is secured
so that no part of it could fall back-
ward.
Elevate forks or other lifting mecha-
nism only to pick up or stack a load.
Watch out for obstructions, especially
overhead.
Do not lift personnel except on a
securely attached specially designed
work platform. USE EXTREME CARE
WHEN LIFTING PERSONNEL. Make
sure mast is vertical, place truck con-
trols in neutral and apply brakes. Lift
and lower smoothly. Remain in oper-
ating position or immediate vicinity as
long as personnel are on the work
platform. Never transport personnel
on forks or work platform.
Do not allow anyone to stand or pass
under load or lifting mechanism.
When leaving truck, neutralize travel
control, fully lower lifting mechanism
and set brake. When leaving truck
unattended, also shut off power.
