BEFORE INITIAL OPERATION
• Never attempt traveling with a loaded on
the lifted fork beyond the specified height.
Traveling with a load on the fork lifted beyond
the specified height may cause overturning due
to upward shifting of the center of gravity. Keep
the fork at 10-20cm(5.9-7.9in)above the ground
when traveling.
• Please avoid overloading or uneven load-
ing. Overloading or uneven loading is danger-
ous. If the center of gravity is nearer to the front
side even though the load is below the maxi-
mum, limit the loading weight according to the
load table.
•If you hear and unusual noise or sense any-
thing unusual, inspect and repair immedi-
ately.
• Be sure to observe the correct operating
procedures and precautions for the handling
of vehicles equipped with power steering and
power brakes.
• If the engine stops during traveling, the op-
eration will be affected. Stop the vehicle in a
safe place as described below. Steering opera-
tion becomes heavy because the power device
for the power steering becomes ineffective. Op-
erate the steering wheel more firmly than usual.
• Please use only the recommended types of
fuel and lubricants. Low-grade fuel and lubri-
cants will shorten service life.
• Flammable and/or combustible materials
can be damaged, and in some cases ignited,
by a hot exhaust system or hot exhaust gases.
To minimize the possibility for such damage
or fire, the operator must obey the following
recommended practices:
• Do not operate lift truck over or near flamma-
ble and/or combustible materials, including dried
grass and paper scraps.
NOTE TO OPERATORS AND SUPERVISORS
This manual explains the proper operation and maintenance of Toyota industrial vehicles as well as
daily lubrication and periodic inspection procedures.
Please read this manual thoroughly even though you may already be familiar with other Toyota
industrial vehicles because it contains information which is exclusive to this series of vehicles. The
manual has been produced based on a standard vehicle. However, if you have questions on other
types, please contact your Toyota industrial vehicle dealer(Toyota dealer).
In addition to this manual, it is essential that you review the separate publication entitled “Op-
erator’s Manual for Safety Operation” for forklift truck drivers. It contains important informa-
tion about the safe operation of forklift trucks. Toyota reserves the right to make any changes or
modifications of specifications in this manual without giving previous notice and without incurring
any obligation.
• Please read this manual thoroughly. This
will give you a complete understanding of
Toyota industrial vehicles and permit you to
operate them correctly and safely.
Proper handling of new vehicles promotes per-
formance and extends service life. Drive with
special caution while becoming familiar with a
new vehicle.
In addition to the standard operating procedures,
pay attention to the following safety items.
• Please acquire thorough knowledge on
Toyota industrial vehicle. Read the operator’s
manual thoroughly prior to operating the vehi-
cle. Get to know its operation and components.
Learn about the safety devices and accessory
equipment and their limits and precautions. Be
sure to read the caution plate attached to the
vehicle.
• Please learn safe driving points and safety
management. Understand and maintain work-
ing area traffic rules. Ask the work area super-
visor about any special working precautions.
• Wear neat clothing for operation. Improper
clothing for vehicle operation may interfere
smooth operation and cause an unexpected ac-
cident. Always wear proper clothing for easy
operation.
• Please keep away from live electric power
lines. Know the locations of inside and outside
power lines and maintain sufficient distance.
• Be sure to perform pre-operation check and
periodic maintenance. This will prevent sud-
den malfunctions, improve work efficiency, save
money and insure safe working conditions.
• Always warm up the engine before start-
ing operation.
• Be sure to avoid forward tilt when the
loaded fork is raised. In the worst case, this will
cause overturning due to poor stability resulting
from forward shifting of the center of gravity.
