Safety Labels
WARNING
Safety labels are installed on the lift truck to
give information about possible hazards. It is
important that all safety labels are installed on
the lift truck and can be read.
Check that all safety labels are installed in the cor-
rect locations on the lift truck. See the Parts Man-
ual or Frame 100 SRM 1222 for the correct locations
of the safety labels.
Steering Column Latch
Make sure the latch for the steering column operates
correctly. The latch must NOT allow the column to
move unless the latch is released.
Operator Restraint System
There is an indicator light on the display panel for
the seat belt. The red light ON as described in the
Operating Manual. The light can help operator re-
member to fasten the seat belt.
NOTE:
The lift trucks covered in this SRM may be
equipped with optional swivel seat. See Figure 8.
The seat belt, hip restraint, seat, hood, and hood
latch are all part of the operator restraint system.
See Figure 7. Each item must be checked to make
sure it is fastened correctly, functions correctly, and
is in good condition. The system helps the operator
stay within the lift truck in case of a tip over.
Make sure that the seat is not loose on the rails.
Make sure that the seat rails are not loose. The seat
rails must lock securely in position, but move freely
when unlocked. The seat rails must be securely at-
tached to the mounting surface.
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
When the ELR style seat belt is properly buckled
across the operator, the belt will permit slight op-
erator repositioning without activating the locking
mechanism. If the truck tips, travels off a dock, or
comes to a sudden stop, the locking mechanism will
be activated and hold the operator’s lower torso in
the seat.
A seat belt that is damaged, worn, or does not op-
erate properly will not provide protection when it is
needed. The end of the belt must fasten correctly in
the latch. The seat belt must be in good condition.
Replace the seat belt if it is damaged or worn. See
Figure 7.
The following seat belt operation checks must be per-
formed:
• With the hood closed and in the locked position,
pull the seat belt slowly from the retractor assem-
bly. Make sure the seat belt pulls out and retracts
smoothly. If the seat belt cannot be pulled from the
retractor assembly or the belt will not retract, re-
place the seat belt assembly.
• With the hood closed and in the locked position,
pull the seat belt with a sudden jerk. Make sure the
seat belt will not pull from the retractor assembly.
If the seat belt can be pulled from the retractor,
when it is pulled with a sudden jerk, replace the
seat belt assembly.
• With the hood in the open position, make sure the
seat belt will not pull from the retractor assembly.
If the seat belt can be pulled from the retractor,
with the hood in the open position, replace the seat
belt assembly.
