Safety Section
-15-
Retainer pins, when struck with force, can fly out and
injure nearby persons. Make sure the area is clear of
people when driving retainer pins.
Wear protective glasses when striking a retainer pin to
avoid injury to your eyes.
Chips or other debris can fly off objects when struck.
Make sure no one can be injured by flying debris before
striking any object.
Falling Objects Protective Structure(FOPS)
This is an attached guard located above the operator's
compartment and secured to the lift truck.
To avoid possible weakening of the Falling Objects
Protective Structure (FOPS), consult a DOOSAN dealer
before altering, by adding weight to, welding on, or cutting
or drilling holes into the structure.
The overhead guard is not intended to protect against
every possible impact. The overhead guard may not
protect against some objects penetrating into the
operator's station from the sides or ends of the lift truck.
The lift truck is equipped with an overhead guard and
FOPS as standard. If there is a possibility of overhead
objects falling through the guard, the guard must be
equipped with smaller holes or a Plexiglas cover.
Any altering done that is not specifically authorized by
DOOSAN invalidates DOOSAN's FOPS certification.
The protection offered by this FOPS will be impaired if it
has been subjected to structural damage.
Structural damage can be caused by an overturn
accident, by falling objects, etc.
Do not mount any item such as fire extinguishers, first aid
kits and lights by welding brackets to or drilling holes in
any FOPS structure. See your DOOSAN dealer for
mounting guidelines.
Burn Prevention
Coolant
At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and
under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or
the engine contain hot water or steam. Any contact can
cause severe burns.
Steam can cause personal injury.
Check the coolant level only after engine has been
stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to remove with
your bare hand.
Remove the cooling system filter cap slowly to relieve
pressure.
Cooling system additive contains alkali that can cause
personal injury. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and
do not drink.
Allow cooling system components to cool before draining.
Oils
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do
not allow hot oil or components to contact the skin.
At operation temperature, the hydraulic tank is hot and
can be under pressure.
Remove the hydraulic tank filter cap only after the engine
has been stopped and the filter cap is cool enough to
remove with your bare hand.
Remove the hydraulic tank filter cap slowly to relieve
pressure.
Relieve all pressure in air, oil fuel or cooling systems
before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected
or removed.
Batteries
Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.
Do not smoke when observing the battery electrolyte
levels.
Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it
contacts skin or eyes.
Always wear protective glasses when working with
batteries.
