Overhead Guard
WARNING
You are protected by an overhead guard which complies with the provisions of
ISO 3449 / ISO 3471 and ASME B56.6. It protects the operator against falling
objects and, together with the mast, gives protection to the operator in the
event of an accidental tip over. The seat belt is an important part of this safety
system and must always be fastened before operating the forklift.
Failure to wear the seat belt in the event of an accidental tip over could result
serious injury or death as you could be crushed by the machine or by the
overhead guard.
The above decal is located on the side of the machine. Overhead Guard must be weekly
inspected for excessive damage cracks permanent deformation or signs of potential
cracks. If these incidents appear, structure must not be repaired but replaced for a new
one.

of others, exits or entrances to stairs and emergency equipment.
• Place the forks or attachment in the fully lowered position.
• Set all the controls in the “0” neutral position.
• Apply the parking brake.

in addition to using the parking brake, place chocks against the wheels.
• Stop the engine and cut the ignition circuit. Remove the ignition key.
• Lock all mechanisms to prevent any unauthorised person from using the machine.
• Remember that you are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect
you but also the people around you.
