Load Safety
Warning
Failure to follow proper safety procedures
when lifting, lowering, and traveling with a
load could result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 5,500 pounds (2,494 ki-
lograms). The total rated capacity of the forks being used
must equal or exceed forklift capacity. Forks can bend or
break causing loss of load and possible death or serious in-
jury.

for any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to
lift or carry loads in excess of the manufactur-
er’s rated load may cause forklift tip over, loss
of load, or structural damage, which could
result in death or serious injury.
Failure to keep personnel clear of the load
area while the load is being raised or lowered
could result in death or serious injury. DO
NOT lift, swing, or move a load over anyone.
