Operation XR1255
Starting Travel
Warning
Use proper safety procedures and avoid
hazardous situations while operating the
forklift to prevent death, serious injury, or
property damage.
Check the work site for any hazards before operating
the forklift.
Check the work surface for loose soil conditions and
overhead power lines.
Warning
To prevent death or serious injury,
the operator must be seated with seat
belt fastened, the travel select lever
set to NEUTRAL, the Parking Brake

obstructions BEFORE starting the forklift.
1. Start the forklift. Refer to the Starting Forklift section
in this manual.

Shifting Gears
Warning
DO NOT shift through multiple gears with
a single turn of the gear select lever. Allow
the engine speed to slow down before
shifting to the next lower gear. Improper
use of the gear select lever could cause transmission
damage or forklift tip over/roll over and could result in
death or serious injury.
The transmission has four (4) gears that can be used for
traveling in forward or reverse.
To shift gears rotate the gear select lever to the next gear
while the forklift is traveling.
Use rst gear (1) for highest torque and pulling power.
Use higher gears for higher ground speed.
Never travel in fourth gear (4) when carrying a load.
Allow the engine speed to slow down before shifting to
a lower gear.
Warning Indicators and Gauges
Warning
Check warning indicators and gauges
on the dash panel frequently during
operation. If a warning indicator is
illuminated or a gauge shows abnormal
readings, stop the forklift, follow proper shut down
procedures, tag the forklift with “Do Not Operate
tags, and have a qualied mechanic service or repair
the forklift BEFORE placing it into service again.
Ignoring warning indicators can cause improper
performance, which could result in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
There are three (3) warning indicator lights on the dash
panel that illuminate during critical circumstances. All
three (3) warning indicators demand immediate attention
and forklift servicing. In many cases the forklift should
be shut down as soon as practical to prevent serious
mechanical failure.
The hydraulic oil temperature indicator illuminates when
the oil temperature is above 180°F (82°C). Stop and idle
the engine, allowing time for cooling. If the indicator does
not go out after ve (5) minutes, shut the engine down.
