GENERAL MACHINE OPERATION
Take time to check the Telescopic Forklift to make sure
all systems are in good operating condition. Perform
the following steps before starting the machine for the
first time each day.
1. Check the engine oil and coolant, transmission oil
and hydraulic oil levels.
2. Make sure weekly lubrication has been done.
3. Visually inspect for leaks, broken or malfunction-
ing parts. Make sure all caps, covers and safety shields
are in place.
4. Check tires for cuts, bulges, nails, correct pressure,
loose wheel nuts, etc.
5. Inspect the work area. Make sure you know where
you will make load pickups, lifts, and turns. Look over
the terrain of the jobsite for holes, obstacles, slippery
surfaces, soft or deep mud.
6. Check clearances of ramps, doorways and passage
ways. Check overhead clearances if you will travel and
place loads near power or telephone lines.
If the machine is found to be in need of repair or in any
way unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition, the
matter shall be reported immediately to the user’s des-
ignated authority. The machine shall NOT be operated
until it has been restored to a safe operating condition.
Operate the travel controls gradually and smoothly
when starting, stopping, turning and reversing the
directions.
Grade and Slope Precautions
The Telescopic Forklift complies with industry stabili-
ty test requirements and is stable when properly oper-
ated. However, improper operation, faulty mainte-
nance, or poor housekeeping may contribute to a con-
dition of instability and defeat the purpose of the stan-
dard.
The amount of forward and rearward tilt to be used is
governed by the application. Although use of maxi-
mum rearward tilt is allowable under certain condi-
tions such as traveling with the load fully lowered, the
stability of the machine as determined by the industry
standard tests, does not encompass consideration for
excessive tilt at high elevations, or the handling of off-
center loads.
Handle only loads within the capacity limits of the
machine, and which are stable or safely arranged.
When attachments are used, extra care shall be taken in
securing, manipulating, positioning and transporting
the load.
Grade Limits
NOTE:
Grade limits are based on ANSI standard
B56.6-1987.
1. DO NOT place or retrieve loads on an up or down
slope or grade that exceeds 6% (3.4
o
) grade.
2. DO NOT travel up or down a grade or slope that
exceeds 22% (12
o
) grade while loaded.
3. DO NOT place or retrieve loads on a side hill with
a slope or grade that exceeds 10% (6
o
) grade.
Regardless of terrain or position of wheels, the
FRAME MUST BE LEVEL
as indicated by the level
indicator on the ROPS cross member.
4. DO NOT travel across a side hill that exceeds 18%
(10
o
) grade. Regardless of the terrain or position of the
wheels, the
FRAME MUST BE LEVEL
as indicated
by the level indicator on the ROPS cross member. The
attachment tool MUST be maintained at the “carry”
position with the boom fully retracted, and attachment
tool at minimum ground clearance.
When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5%
(3
o
) the machine shall be driven with the load upgrade.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes can kill. Insure proper ventila-
tion when starting indoors or in enclosed
areas.
Use proper grab handles, NOT the steering
wheel or control levers as hand holds when
mounting or dismounting.
NEVER operate the machine with safety
guards or covers removed.
Over-inflated tires can explode and cause
injury or death. Tire repairs MUST be made
only by authorized personnel using proper
tools and equipment.
