LOADING OPERATIONS
1-16
• Do not use the lift truck for anything other than the intended use
(loading operations using the forks).
• Do not use the forks to open or close the doors of railroad cars or
warehouses.
• Do not push any other vehicle.
• Do not hook ropes or cables on the forks and use the forks to lift
loads.
• Do not use the drawbar pin for towing operations.
USE ONLY FOR INTENDED PURPOSES
Do not use the drawbar pin for towing other lift trucks, for being
towed by other lift trucks, or for lifting operations.
The drawbar pin installed to the rear of the counterweight is used only
to free the truck when the tires have become stuck in mud or in a ditch
and the lift truck cannot move, or when loading the lift truck on to a
trailer or truck.
USING DRAWBAR PIN
• Do not let anyone place a load on the forks.
• Do not let anyone remove a load directly from the forks.
• Standing on the forks is dangerous because the forks are slippery and the load may move.
• Do not use anyone to keep the load stable. The lift truck may move unexpectedly, causing the load to fall
and crush the person.
• Improper loading or unloading of a lift truck may result in fall of the
lift truck. To prevent this, strictly observe the following.
-
If you leave the operator's seat or have bad posture with no
weight applied to the seat during work, the travel interlock is
activated to shut off the power of the lift truck. This may cause
slip down of the lift truck during uphill travel.
-
Select a level, firm place and avoid a place near a road shoul-
der or cliff.
-
Use ramps that are strong enough with proper length and
width. Install ramps securely so that they do not move or come off.
