NOTICE
Local laws and regulations may require that additional
safety measures be taken.
• Never rely on the hydraulic system to support any part of the machine during main-
tenance or lubrication. Never stand under a component that is supported only by the
hydraulics. Make sure it is resting on its mechanical stops or appropriate safety stands.
• Use caution when working around hot fluids. Always allow lubricating and hydraulic
oils to cool before draining. Burns can be severe.
• Use extreme caution when using compressed air to blow parts dry. The pressure
should not exceed 30 psi (208 kPa) at the nozzle. Never use compressed air on
yourself. Air pressure penetrating your skin can be fatal.
WARNING
Suffocation hazard.
Engine exhaust fumes can cause death.
Remove the exhaust fumes from the area with an exhaust
pipe extension, or use ventilation fans and open shop
doors to provide adequate ventilation.
• Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to lower all loads and relieve all hydraulic
pressure. The load could fall on you, or escaping hydraulic oil could cause severe
personal injury.
• Prevent personal injury or equipment damage by using a lifting device with a lifting
capacity greater than twice the weight of any equipment to be lifted.
3.12 Load Handling
• Treat an unloaded forklift with an attachment as partially loaded.
CAUTION
Injury or equipment damage may result if the capacity
of the truck and attachment combined are less than the
attachment capacity.
Consult truck nameplate for truck capacity with an
attachment installed.
