Safety Section
The safety rules and regulations in this section are
representative of some, but not all rules and regu-
lations noted under the Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA) and are paraphrased without
representation that the OSHA rules and regulations
have been reproduced verbatim.
Please refer to 1910. 178 in Federal Register Vol.
37, No. 202, the National Fire Protection
Association No. 505 (NFPA), American National
Standard, ANSI B56. 1 Safety Standard for Low lift
and High Lift Trucks and subsequent revisions for a
complete list of OSHA rules and regulations as to
the safe operation of powered industrial lift trucks.
Since regulations vary from country to country out-
side in U.S.A., operate this lift truck in accordance
with local regulations.
DAEWOO lift trucks are manufactured according to
the regulations and standards laid down in EU
Machinery Directive 98/ 37/EC and EMC directive
89/336/EC. Please refer to the Directives
89/ 655/EC and 89 /391 /EC and its amendments
for the safe use of DAEWOO lift trucks.
The most effective method of preventing serious
injury or death to the lift truck operator or others is
for the lift truck operator to be familiar with the prop-
er operation of the lift truck, to be alert and to avoid
actions or conditions which can result in an acci-
dent.
Do not operate a lift truck if in need of repair, defec-
tive or in any way unsafe. Report all defects and
unsafe conditions immediately. Do not attempt any
adjustments or repairs unless trained and autho-
rized to do so.
Warning Signs and Labels
There are several specific safety signs on your lift
truck. Their exact location and description of the haz-
ard are reviewed in this section. Please take the time
to familiarize yourself with these safety signs.
Make sure that you can read all warning and
instruction labels. Clean or replace these labels if
you cannot read the words or see the pictures.
When cleaning the labels use a cloth, water and
soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline, etc.
You must replace a label if it is damaged, missing or
cannot be read. If a label is on a part that is
replaced, make sure a new label is installed on the
replaced part. See your dealer for new labels.
