Battery Charging
Refer to
for battery safety
and maintenance.
NOTE:
Battery charging instructions
are contained in the service
manual.
Load Handling
Handle only loads arranged for
stability and always use cau-
tion. Raise and lower the load
smoothly to prevent the load
from falling.
Always be sure the load and
load center are within the
capacity of the truck. If in doubt
check the nameplate.
1.
Approach the load slowly.
2.
Move the truck slowly into posi-
tion so that the forks are within
pallet or skid, and the load is cen-
tered over the forks and as far
back as possible.
3.
Raise the forks to lift load.
4.
Lead the truck by the control han-
dle with the load trailing except
when in confined areas. Ramps
should be traveled with operator
uphill of truck when empty, or
operator downhill of truck with
load on forks standing off to side
of truck.
5.
Always look in the direction of
travel. Move slowly and check
clearances when approaching
obstructions.
6.
Do not make sudden starts and
stops. Operate truck smoothly
and gradually.
7.
Travel slowly and squarely
around corners. Remember that
the trailing load wheels do not fol-
low the turn path of the drive
wheel. Instead they tend to cut
the corner.
8.
Line up the truck with the unload-
ing area.
9.
Stop the truck and check the load
alignment with surrounding
objects.
10. Be careful not to damage or
move adjacent loads and objects.
11. Lower the forks until the load is
resting on its own.
12. Move the truck back until the
forks are clear of the pallet.
Moving a Disabled Truck
Do not attempt to move a disabled
truck; notify your supervisor or proper
authority.
