Use pallets and skids strong enough
Pallets and skids must be strong enough to
withstand the weight of loads. Use of a damaged
pallet or skid might let the load fall off the forks.
Use extreme caution when handling long
or bulky loads
Lift and lower the load carefully so as not to hit it
against something around the truck. Keep the load
as low as possible. Be careful when turning the
truck, to prevent it from moving out of position or
falling off.
Be alert for overhead hazards
Use caution not to let the mast or overhead guard
contact overhead power cables, piping, sprinklers
or overhead cross beams. If part of the truck comes
in contact with them, the load might fall off the forks
or the truck tip over. Remember that the mast height
becomes higher when the forks are raised.
Never overload
WARNING
Know the rated capacity of your lift truck and
its attachment, if any, and never exceed it;
otherwise the rear wheels will be raised, thus
making it difficult to travel and turn. There is
also danger of the truck tipping over.
Do not jerk the forks (lift, down, and tilt)
when loaded
The truck might tip over.
Do not tilt the mast with loads high
Use minimum forward and reverse tilt when
stacking and unstacking loads. Never tilt forward
unless the load is over stack; otherwise the truck
might tip over.
Do not lift or start with mast tilted forward
When the mast is tilted forward, do not perform the
following operations: lifting the forks and starting
and traveling the truck.
Do not stack or unstack loads on a
sloping grade
Do not squeeze loads into the stack
Do not squeeze loads into the stack using the
truck’s traction force. This will cause damage to the
truck or loads, causing the truck to tip over.
