Protect Yourself 4

Stay clear of all moving parts.

Moving parts can cut or crush hands, feet, arms or legs.

WARNING

AVOID FALLS AND TIPOVERS

Tipovers are very serious accidents, you can be crushed or even killed. The best way to prevent injury is to know where you are at all times and follow the rules of safe truck operation. There is no sure way to avoid injury during a tipover or a drop from a dock.

• Be careful if driving around docks or ramps. Stay away from the edge. Watch where you're going.

• When traveling out of the aisle, keep the forks or load close to the ground. Watch for overhead obstructions. Perform all truck movements smoothly and at a speed that will give you time to react in an emergency.

• Turret Stockpickers should not be used on ramps or grades. If you must drive on a grade, travel slowly and don't turn. If carrying a load, point the forks upgrade. If unloaded, point the forks downgrade.

• An unloaded truck can also tip over. Be just as careful using an unloaded truck as you are using a loaded one.

USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY

• Keep hands and feet away from all moving parts such as the load handler, masts or wheels. Don't sit or stand on the side gates.

• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone else to stand on or under them. Never allow passengers on the truck. There is no safe place for them.

• Before you leave your truck:

• Come to a complete stop.

• Lower the forks to the ﬂ oor.

• Shut the truck off with the key switch.

CAUTION

Truck capacity must be reduced by operator weight over 100kg (220lb).You may not increase capacity if load center is less than shown on your capacity plate.

Note:

ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 requires that all data be shown ﬁ rst in Metric units and then USA units.

CAPACITY PLATE INFORMATION

The capacity plate is on the platform, above the operator display. It contains:

• Truck serial number

• Capacity information (load, load center and lift height)

• Truck type (a fire safety rating)

• Truck weight with battery (does not include load)

• Attachment information (if any)

READING YOUR CAPACITY PLATE

Capacity may be reduced as lift height increases.

For example: On the sample plate, 1360kg (3000 lb) can be lifted to 8000mm (315 in). But above 8000 (315), to 9220 (363), capacity is reduced from 1360 (3000) to 1180 (2600).

Capacity is reduced as load center increases.

For example: On the sample plate, 1360kg (3000 lb) can be lifted if the load center is 600mm (24 in). But if the load center is increased to 865 (34), capacity is reduced from 1360 (3000) to 955 (2100).
