FOREWORD
As a lift truck operator, you are
responsible for a machine that is use-
ful, powerful, and can be hazardous if
not operated as described. Your Big
Lift LLC truck may weigh more than
some cars, depending on the model.
Observing and practicing the safety
warnings in this manual cannot be
overemphasized. Just knowing the
warnings, however, is no substitute
for
common sense
. Using your com-
mon sense will, in almost all cases,
prevent accidents. Think of the truck
as your own. In this way you will learn
its capabilities and limitations.
This manual is intended to remain
with the truck at all times as a handy
reference guide to operation. Detailed
maintenance procedures are found in
the parts and service manual for the
specific truck model, and are to be
performed only by a qualified techni-
cian. For further information on
obtaining a complete parts and ser-
vice manual, see
of this man-
ual.
The operator who knows his truck will
learn to spot problems as they
develop. This is accomplished by per-
forming the Daily Checks and report-
ing any problems to the designated
authority.
