The 1H2 (SRX) unit has been designed to operate in cold storage and
freezer operation as follows:
Standard 1H2 (SRX) can be operated:
• Continuous to +32° F (0°C)
• Intermittent to +14°F (-10°C)
With Optional freezer:
• Continuous to -4°F (-20°C)
• Intermittent to -40°F (-40°C)
Note: The Hydraulic oil used for this option is intended to be used for
cold storage and freezers use only.
Even with the freezer option please keep in mind that the batteries must
be charged correctly to avoid damage or poor truck performance.
OPERATING THE TRUCK
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
There are certain hazards that cannot be avoided solely by mechanical
means in the everyday use of material handling trucks. Only the
intelligence, good sense, and care of the operator, along with proper
maintenance, will assure that the trucks are operated properly. It is
important to have trained, reliable personnel operating your units. If,
at any time, the operator nds that the unit is not performing properly,
discontinue operation of the truck and report the condition to your
supervisor for correction.
When operating the forklift under severe climatic conditions such as
high temperature, high altitudes, in cold storages, and when handling
explosives and combustibles, and in areas where the forklift is apt to
cause radio interference, make sure that the forklift is manufactured
and approved as conforming to the local specications, laws and
regulations.
Steering the truck is easier with the forks leading. Always look in the
direction of travel. Always raise forks & load OFF oor approx. 8 inches
(200 mm).
Operate the unit from the operator’s position after assuring that the
operation will not endanger the operator or any other person. Do not
operate a truck in hazardous areas. Make sure that the forks and/or
load have clearance to lower and do not “hang-up”.
