Operator's Manual
Rev. BXXMP.01 January 2020
-Make sure that the combined weight of the forklift and the
transported goods does not exceed the maximum load capacity
for the terrain.
-Before driving onto walkways, platforms, gangways, etc., make
sure that they can bear the weight of the vehicle.
-When driving behind another vehicle, maintain a distance equal
to approximately three times the length of the forklift. This will
help prevent accidents in the event that the other vehicle needs
to brake suddenly.
-When passing through narrow passages, the driver must take
care that his or her head, arms and legs do not stick out past the
width of the vehicle.
-When tilting the forks or the back-plate forwards, the stability
of the vehicle is reduced. When it is necessary to put down a
load using these mechanisms, do not lift it any higher than
necessary and, when lowering, do so slowly.
-Tin and sheet metal containers can break and shoot out at
nearby co-workers. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, as well
as turning at speed.
-If during the course of a job it is necessary to stop, unless said
stop is for a very short period of time, the engine should always
be turned off.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
-At the end of the working day, the forklift should be parked in
the place specifically set aside for this purpose, where it will be
protected from the elements.
-When parking the forklift, the engine should be turned off, the
parking brake applied, the battery disconnected and the key
removed from the ignition.
-The forks should be left in the lowest possible position resting
on the ground.
-The forklift should always be parked on level ground. If for any
exceptional reason it is necessary to leave it parked on a slope,
the wheels must be carefully blocked using wedges and the
parking brake applied.
-The driver must not make any repairs or adjustments to the
forklift. Any anomaly observed during work, no matter how
small, must be duly reported to a senior member of staff.
-The operator must never stand between the mast and the
overhead guard of the forklift. If it is necessary to do so, lock all
controls to prevent any unexpected movement of the mast.
