WARNING
Do not operate this truck unless you have been autho-
rized 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 special 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
protection.
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 nameplate 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 backrest extension unless load is
secured so that no part of it could fall backward.
Elevate forks or other lifting mechanism 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 controls in neutral and
apply brakes. Lift and lower smoothly. Remain in oper-
ating position or immediate vicinity as long as person-
nel are on the work platform. Never transport
personnel on forks or work platform.
Do not allow anyone to stand or pass under load or lift-
ing mechanism.
When leaving truck, neutralize travel control, fully
lower lifting mechanism and set brake. When leaving
truck unattended, also shut off power.
