SAFETY
Safety Guards and Warning Devices
 This machine is fitted with a Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) in accordance with industry stan-
dards. It is intended to offer protection to the oper-
ator from falling objects, and in case of an over-
turn, but it cannot protect against every possible
hazard. Therefore it should not be considered a
substitute for good judgment and safe practices in
operating the machine. If the ROPS/FOPS struc-
ture is damaged, it must be replaced to restore the
protection it provides.
 This machine is equipped with a horn and backup
alarm. The user must determine if operating condi-
tions require that the machine be equipped with
additional devices (mirrors, rotating beacon, etc.)
and be responsible for providing and maintaining
such devices.
Personnel Work Platform (PWP) System
The Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules must be
followed to at all times while lifting personnel. These
rules are based on ANSI/ITSDF Standard B56.6-2005,
“Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks.”
(A copy of this and related standards can be obtained
from the Industrial Truck Standards Development
Foundation, 1750 K Street NW, Suite 460, Washington
DC 20009; or downloaded from: www.itsdf.org.) The
rules apply to the owner, operator and personnel in the
work platform.
MANDATORY WORK PLATFORM
SAFETY RULES
1. The work platform must comply with
ANSI/ITSDF Standard B56.6-2005, Sec. 8.24,
“Platforms for Elevating Personnel.” (See page
15, “Work Platform Design Requirements.”)
2. The platform must be securely attached to the car-
riage or forks, and the carriage securely attached
to the boom.
3. The carriage and forks must be secured to prevent
them from pivoting upward.
4. If the machine is equipped with a rotating or
swinging carriage, the rotation or swing must be
deactivated. (This occurs automatically when the
“PWP System” is switched on.)
5. Personnel on the platform must be provided pro-
tection from any moving parts on the forklift that
may present a hazard.
6. If overhead hazards exist for platform personnel,
overhead protection must be provided.
7. Be sure that the lifting mechanism is operating
smoothly throughout its entire range, both empty
and loaded, and that any lift-limiting devices and
latches are functional.
8. Be sure that the frame is level, to ensure a vertical
lift.
9. Be sure the platform is horizontal before lifting.
10. Be sure that the forklift has a firm footing.
11. Be sure that any required restraining means (rail-
ings, chains, harnesses, etc.) are in place and
properly used.
12. Before lifting personnel, shift the transmission
into Neutral, apply the parking brake, and activate
the “PWP System” switch.
13. Before lifting personnel, the area should be
marked to warn others of work by elevated per-
sonnel.
WARNING
The machine must not be used to lift or carry
personnel, or be fitted with any form of per-
sonnel work platform unless fitted with the
optional PWP System.
If fitted with the PWP System, the Mandatory
Work Platform Safety Rules must be followed
at all times while lifting personnel.
