WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
The better you understand your truck and how to use
it, the better and safer operator you can be. Here are
some guides to using this manual.
QUICK LOCATORS
In addition to the "Contents" page
you can use page headings to find
topics. Some pages also have a
picture of the truck in the corner
showing features or functions
covered on that page.
"KNOW THE HAZARDS"
Watch for and read these special
blocks. You will find information
about possible safety hazards and
how to avoid them.
HOW-TO-DRAWINGS
On many pages you will find
pictures as well as text to help you
understand how to use your truck
safely and productively.
KNOW YOUR LOAD
Do not exceed the capacity shown on your truck's
capacity plate. Be careful when handling long, high or
wide loads. Do not handle unstable loads.
EXCEEDING TRUCK CAPACITY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
Know the capacity of your truck as shown on your
capacity plate. Make certain you use the correct units
of measure. Pay attention to:
• Weight of load
• Load center
• Lift height
HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY
Capacities given on your capacity plate are for loads
that are centered and level. Be extra careful when
tilting a load. (This also applies to other accessories
or attachments your truck may have, such as sideshift,
carton clamp, push-pull, etc.)
CENTER THE LOAD
Your truck could tip over if a load is shifted to the
front or side of a pallet or container. Make sure your
load is evenly distributed and centered over the forks.
