Hyster H40-60XT, Operating Manual

Page: 70 / 180

Load Handling, Lifting, Lowering, and Tilting
The LIFT and TILT functions are controlled by separate
levers. See the Controls section in the Model Description
section for the correct operation.
The speed of the hydraulic functions is controlled by the
position of the control levers. The farther the hand lever is
moved from the
NEUTRAL position, the faster the speed of
the hydraulic function.
DO NOT lift or hit anything that can fall on the operator or a
bystander. Remember, a lift truck equipped with a
Hyster
overhead guard and load backrest extension provides rea-
sonable protection to the operator from falling objects, but
can not protect against every possible impact.
A lift truck without an overhead guard provides no such
protection and other personnel have no overhead protec-
tion. Avoid hitting objects such as stacked material that
could become dislodged and fall.
The operator must exercise care while working near such
objects. Whether the lift truck is loaded or empty, DO NOT
travel with the load or carriage in a raised position.
