XR1255 Safety
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 12,000 pounds
(5,443 Kilograms). The total rated capacity of the forks
being used must equal or exceed forklift capacity.
Forks can break causing loss of load and possible
death or serious injury.
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated
load for any auxiliary attachment. Any
attempt to lift or carry loads in excess of
the manufacturer’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 or over a forklift cab.
• Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary
attachment before performing any operation.
• Use the correct load chart and NEVER exceed
specified weights and load centers.
• DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s recommended
load capacity.
• DO NOT operate the forklift with an unsafe load
distribution.
• Adjust the load as necessary, especially for
nonstandard loads.
• Use caution when handling loose material that can
fall into the cab.
• Remove overhanging load materials, when possible,
and watch for sliding material.
• DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that
can enter the cab, if tipped.
• Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns.
• Avoid carrying a swinging load. If necessary, secure
the load by attaching it to the forklift tie-downs and/
or have another person assist with safely steadying
the load.
Attachments
 Warning
Improper connection of an auxiliary attachment could
result in death or serious injury. Attachments not
locked into place can become unstable and fall on the
operator or other personnel near the forklift.
• Make sure attachment locking devices are always
in place.
• DO NOT operate the forklift until you have positive
indication that the coupler pin and lever are fully
engaged.
• Hydraulic attachments have a maximum hydraulic
pressure rating. Failure to make sure the attachment
is equipped with a pressure reducing valve, or is
rated to be equal or greater than 4,300 psi (296.5
bar), which is the maximum pressure of the forklift
auxiliary hydraulic system at the quick-disconnect
couplers, could result in death or serious injury.
• Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight
(if equipped).
Shut Down Procedure
 Warning
To prevent death or serious injury, follow these
procedures before leaving the forklift cab:
• Park forklift on a firm, level surface.
• Move travel select lever to NEUTRAL (N).
• Set parking brake to ON (engaged).
• Lower forks and attachments to the ground.
Always engage the parking
brake before leaving the
forklift. The forklift can roll if
the parking brake is not ON (engaged), which could
result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
• Turn Ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Remove the key.
• Unbuckle the seat belt.
• Place “Do Not Operate” tags on the Starter
switch and steering wheel when maintenance
or service is required.
• Block wheels when maintenance is required.
