Safety Labels
WARNING
Safety labels are installed on the lift truck to give infor-
mation about operation and possible hazards. It is
important that all safety labels are installed on the lift
truck and can be read.
Check that all safety labels are installed in the correct location
on the lift truck. See the Parts Manual, the Model Descrip-
tion section in this Operating Manual, or the Frame section
of the Service Manual 100 YRM 1754 for the correct location
of the safety labels. See the Parts Manual for the part num-
bers of the safety labels.
Mast, Carriage, Header Hoses, Lift Chains, and
Attachment
(See Figure 33 and Figure 22)
WARNING
Lower the lift mechanism completely. Never allow any
person under a raised carriage. Do not put any part of
your body in or through the lift mechanism unless all
parts of the mast are completely lowered and the engine
is STOPPED.
Do not try to correct the alignment of the fork tips by
bending the forks or adding shims. If either fork is dam-
aged, replace the forks as a set.
Never repair damaged forks by heating or welding. Forks
are made of special steel using special procedures. If
either fork is damaged, replace the forks as a set.
1. Inspect the welds on the mast, cylinders, and carriage for
cracks. Make sure that the capscrews and nuts are tight.
2. Inspect the channels for wear in the areas where the rollers
travel. Inspect the rollers for wear or damage.
3. Inspect the load backrest extension for cracks and dam-
age.
4. If the lift truck is equipped with a sideshift carriage or
attachment, inspect the parts for cracks and wear. Make sure
the parts that fasten the sideshift carriage or attachment to
the carriage are in good condition.
5. Visually inspect hoses/fittings for hydraulic leaks; hose
cover for cuts, cracks, or exposed reinforcement; defective/
broken clamping devices or sheaves; and proper tracking
during operation. Adjust/repair/replace hose/components as
necessary.
