2
in Figure 1, are created as the forks move up or down.
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
could result.
ALWAYS
keep hands and fi ngers away the mast and fork carriage.
ALWAYS
keep feet clear of the rolling wheels and casters.
4.
Use care when transporting a palletized load. Improper load handling could cause
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
.
PULL
or
PUSH SLOWLY
and avoid sharp turns or rapid maneuvering when handling elevated loads. Whenever possible, avoid pushing a
loaded UniLift with the outriggers extended. Rapid maneuvering and turns could damage the outriggers.
ALWAYS
travel with the forks in the lowest position possible.
KEEP WATCHING
the condition of the load. If the load shifts or becomes unstable,
STOP
immediately and restack the load.
ALWAYS
be prepared to lower the load in the event the UniLift becomes uncontrollable.
DO NOT
use the UniLift on a wet or slippery surface. Doing so could result in a fall or
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
.
TAKE CARE
not to run over objects on the fl oor. Even a small object can cause the UniLift to stop abruptly.
MOVE SLOWLY
and use care when turning or maneuvering in tight areas.
5.
NEVER
leave the loaded lifter unattended unless the forks are fully lowered, the brake is applied and the key switch is turned to
OFF
.
6.
DO NOT
change the hydraulic pump’s relief valve setting. The relief valve is installed to protect the operator and the UniLift. Changing the
relief valve setting may cause the forks to suddenly fall.
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
and
PROPERTY DAMAGE
could result.
7.
ALL
lift servicing must be performed by qualifi ed personnel only. Unauthorized modifi cations to the UniLift, its hydraulic power unit or its
control system may compromise the performance and safety of the system resulting in
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
and
PROPERTY
DAMAGE
.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
should you attempt any repair or service that is not covered in this manual.
DO NOT
attempt to remove the constant force spring. The constant force spring is heavily preloaded and will recoil violently if released.
ALWAYS
remove the load and
DEPRESS THE DOWN BUTTON
for several seconds to release the hydraulic pressure before servicing the
lift. The release of hydraulic fl uid under high pressure can be dangerous.
ALWAYS
disconnect the battery before servicing the electrical system. Not doing so could result in a
SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK
.
8.
ALWAYS
ensure all safety warning labels are in place and legible. If not, remove the UniLift from service and replace the required labels.
Refer to Figure 2 for label descriptions and locations.
CAUTION
1
DO NOT
continue to operate the pump if a squealing noise is heard coming from the pump. The pressure relief valve is operating.
Continued use of the pump with the relief valve operating will cause permanent damage the pump.
REDUCE
the load to prevent the relief
valve from operating.
