SAFETY RULES AND PRACTICES
TRANSPORTING FORKLIFT (cont’d)
FUNCTION TESTS
The functional tests are carried out to check whether the forklift
functions correctly after it has been transported (over land or water),
or after it has been taken out of storage. The test covers the following
items, but since exclusive tools and equipment are required for Items 1
and 2, request that your Local Authorized Dealer perform the test.
Items
1. Those that are indicated in "Daily Inspection" (refer to page 72).
2. Dynamic tests
Mobility (traveling and maneuvering) test
Make sure the forklift moves in the direction specied by the multi-
function handle, and the forklift operates correctly when the brake
pedal is depressed or released. Also check to see that the steering
feels normal and that it operates satisfactorily. Elevate and lower
test load.
Stacking test
Raise the test load to the maximum height of the mast and lower
at maximum speed, stopping the descent several times, to see
that it stops smoothly.
Lowering speed test
Make sure the maximum lowering speed does not exceed 2.0 ft/s
(0.6 m/s) (by measuring the speed).
3. Test for holding load
Check the rate at which the mast lowers naturally [3.94 in (100
mm)/10 min max]. Check the rate at which the tilt cylinder tilts
forwards naturally (5 degrees/10 min max).
POSITION OF DATA & CAPACITY PLATES AND
DECALS
WARNING
!
!
• When data & capacity plates or warning & caution decals
are damaged such that they cannot be read or have peeled
off, they should be immediately replaced with new ones
to ensure that they are constantly maintained in a legible
condition. The plates and decals are available from your
Local Authorized Dealer.
• The warning and caution decals are afxed to the designated
locations of the forklift as shown in the gure on page 25.
Before operating the forklift, be sure to take note of the
details given in the decals so as to ensure proper and safe
operation.
