DESCRIPTIONS
Operation Notice
BYD industrial vehicles can only be operated in the designated areas in the factory or in other
specific environments, in compliance with Regulations on safety supervision of special equipment.
Inappropriate use of the BYD forklift might cause damages and losses, which the operators
or proprietor instead of BYD should be held liable for. If the forklift needs to be operated in the
environments other than those mentioned in this manual, contact with your local BYD dealer first
for confirmation.
Any modification to the forklift is not allowed unless BYD's written consent is granted. Contact
with BYD first before modifying the forklifts.
If you have ordered other auxiliary attachments besides forks, please handle the loads in
compliance with the loading capacity of the attachments. All the attachments are provided with
operation instructions. Read through the manuals before operation.
This manual is devised based on the standard forklifts. For other questions not covered in the
manual, please check with BYD after sales service.
BYD forklift is subject to ongoing development and optimizing the design of products.
BYD Forklift reserves the right to alter the design, equipment, technical features, and technical
specifications and so on. No guarantee of particular features of the forklift should therefore be
assumed from the present operator manual.
Forklift Delivery
Every BYD forklift has passed through thorough performance tests before shipment. Although
proper protection has also been adopted during transportation, it is advised to conduct a thorough
inspection when the forklift arrives. Before delivering the forklift to end customers, to guarantee
that the forklift is in perfect condition, the followings checks should be conducted at BYD dealers:
(1) Check if the wheel nuts are securely fastened
(2) Check the hydraulic oil level
(3) Check the braking function
(4) Check the travelling function
(5) Check the steering function
(6) Check the high voltage connectors (transportation might have loosened the connectors)
To avoid inconveniences in future warranty claims, please check the functions of the forklift
and check if the forklift is complete.
