Page 4 8042/10042 Rev. 10/99

New or Additional Operators

At the time of original purchase, the purchaser of this

vehicle was instructed by the seller on its safe and correct

use. If this vehicle is to be used by an employee or is

loaned, rented or sold to someone other than the pur-

chaser, make certain that the new operator reads and

understands the Operator’s Manual and the Rough Terrain

Forklift Safety Manual that are provided with the vehicle

before operating the vehicle.

In addition, make sure that the new operator has com-

pleted a walk-around inspection of the vehicle, is familiar

with all decals and safety equipment on the vehicle, and

has demonstrated the correct use of all controls.

Always adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt

securely before you start the engine.

caught on controls or moving parts. Wear the

protective clothing and personal safety gear issued

or called for by job conditions.

DO NOT get off the vehicle until you:

• place the travel select lever in (N) Neutral,

• engage the emergency brake switch,

• lower the boom,

• ground the carriage,

• turn engine off,

• unbuckle the seat belt, and

Page 5

8042/10042 Rev. 10/99

•DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks.

Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search

for leaks. Wear gloves to protect hands from

spraying fluid.

• Hydraulic fluid can cause permanent eye

injury. Wear appropriate eye protection and

stop engine and relieve pressure before

disconnecting lines.

• If anyone is injured by or if any hydraulic fluid

is injected into the skin, obtain medical

attention immediately or gangrene may result.

D. Battery

The following WARNING is intended to supple-

ment and does not replace the warnings and

information provided on the battery by the

battery manufacturer.

4. Chemical Hazards

A. Exhaust Fumes

Fumes from the engine exhaust can cause

injury or death. If operating in an enclosed

area, provide good ventilation to replace

hazardous exhaust fumes with fresh air.

B. Explosive Fuel

Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire

and/or an explosion. Avoid danger by keeping

sparks, open flames and smoking materials

away from vehicle and fuel during refueling or

fuel system servicing. Know where fire extin-

guishers are kept on the work site and how to

use them.

C. Hydraulic Fluid

•DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten any

hydraulic hoses or fittings while the engine is

running or when the hydraulic system is under

pressure. Fluid in the hydraulic system is

under enough pressure that it can penetrate

the skin causing serious injury or death.

•HOT HYDRAULIC FLUID WILL CAUSE

SEVERE BURNS. Wait for fluid to cool down

before disconnecting lines.

OG0360

Page 6 8042/10042 Rev. 10/99

When jump starting the vehicle, carefully follow

instructions found under "Jump Starting" later in

this manual.

Keep sparks, flames, and lit cigarettes away

from battery at all times. Lead acid batteries

generate explosive gases. Severe chemical

burns can result from improper handling of

battery electrolyte. Wear safety glasses and

proper protective gear when handling batteries

to prevent electrolyte from coming in contact

with eyes, skin or clothing.

Battery Electrolyte First Aid

• External Contact — Flush with water.

• Eyes — Flush with water for at least 15

minutes and get medical attention

immediately!

• Internal Contact — Drink large quantities of

water. Follow with Milk of Magnesia, beaten

egg or vegetable oil. Get medical attention

immediately!

IMPORTANT: In case of internal contact, DO

NOT give fluids that would induce vomiting!

6. Lowering Boom or Falling Load Hazard

around the work site. Know the rules for movement

of people and vehicles on the work site. Follow the

instructions of signals and signs.

under electrical lines, bridges, etc.

3. Underground Hazards

Know the location of all underground hazards

before operating the vehicle in a new work area.

Electrical cables, gas pipes, water pipes, sewers, or

other underground objects can cause injury or

death. Contact your local underground utility

service or diggers' hotline to mark all underground

hazards.

Operational Considerations

1. Preparation and Prevention

Know the location and function of all vehicle controls.

Make sure all persons are away from the vehicle and

that the Travel Select Lever is in the "N" (Neutral)

position with the emergency brake switch engaged

before starting the engine.

Holes, obstructions, debris and other work area

hazards can cause injury or death. Always walk

around and look for these and other hazards before

operating the vehicle in a new work area.

Page 8 8042/10042 Rev. 10/99

5. Lifting Personnel

Use only an approved work platform for lifting and

lowering personnel. NEVER transport personnel in

a work platform for even the shortest distance.

Serious injury or death can occur if these rules are

not obeyed. Riders can fall and be crushed or run

over. Avoid accidents. For other specific precau-

tions, see "Elevating Personnel" later in this manual.

OG0341

OG0350
