2.2 Power Equipment Can Be Hazardous
• Any power equipment can be hazardous.
•
Accidents may occur when power industrial equipment
is in the hands of untrained or unauthorized operators.
This electric truck is no exception.
• Before operating this truck, read and understand
this manual. Notify your supervisor if you have
any concerns or questions. Carefully review all
safety decals on the truck.
2.3 Pedestrians
Pay attention to pedestrians at all times. Many other
people in your area of facility might not be familiar
with this truck and how it operates. Always yield the
right-of-way to pedestrians. Never drive this truck up
to anyone, particularly someone standing next to a
solid object like a wall or workbench.
2.4 Travel
Operate this electric truck at an authorized speed
consistent with conditions. Always maintain a safe
distance from other trucks. Keep the truck under
control at all times so you can stop in an emergency.
Look in the direction of the path of travel, and keep a
clear view. Stop the truck and sound the horn when
crossing aisles or when visibility is obstructed. Keep
to the right unless conditions dictate otherwise. Do
not pass another truck traveling in the same direction
at intersections, blind spots, or other dangerous
locations. Avoid making sudden starts, quick stops
or turns, particularly when operating with stacked
loads. Slow down for rough, wet or slippery floors,
and avoid running over any objects on the floor.
2.5 Power Equipment
Dockboards must be strong enough to carry the weight
of the truck, the weight of the operator and the load.
The carrying capacity should be plainly marked on the
dockboards. Dockboards should be securely anchored
or equipped with devices to prevent slipping. The sides
of the dockboards should be turned up at right angles
to prevent the electric truck from running over the edge.
Dockboards should be designed and maintained so the
edges have substantial contact with the carrier and the
dock or loading platform to prevent rocking or sliding.
Handholds, or other effective means, should be provided
to permit safe handling. Positive positioning, such as
wheel chocks, should be provided to prevent railroad cars
or highway trucks from being moved while dockboards
are in position.
2.6 Elevators
Check with your supervisor before you use this electric
truck near or in an elevator.
2.7 Lifting And Loading
Follow these instructions when lifting and loading:
• Move only loads that are securely and safely
loaded
• Place forks under the load as far as possible
• When the electric truck is empty, travel with the
forks fully lowered
• When moving bulky loads that block rearward
visibility, drive the electric truck with the load
trailing
• Carry the load as low as is safely possible
2.8 Moving the Stacker With a Forklift

4.8 Traveling With a Load
Always look in the direction of travel. When transporting loads
over a long distance, always travel in a forward direction with the
forks trailing. Never enter a trailer unless its wheels are checked
and the trailer is properly jacked.
When traveling with a load, follow these instructions:
• Ensure the load on the forks is stable
• Travel at the safest speed that conditions allow, and always
within authorized facility speed limits. Operate the truck only
at a speed that permits the truck to stop safely at all times and
under all travel conditions.
• Start, steer, change direction, and brake smoothly. Slow down
for turns and uneven or slippery surfaces to avoid causing the
truck to slide or tip.
• Keep a clear view and watch out for obstructions. When the
load interferes with visibility, travel with the load trailing.
• Check the condition of all floors, dockboards, semi-trailer beds,
ramps, elevators, and so on, to ensure they can safely support
the truck and its load.
• Observe all traffic regulations. Yield the right-of-way to
pedestrians. Stop and sound the horn at crossing aisles and
whenever vision is obstructed.
• When operating in narrow aisles, stay as far away from
stockpiles as possible in order to allow the truck to swing clear.
• Never cross railroad tracks except at approved floor grade
crossings. Cross at an angle perpendicular to the tracks.

5.2 Battery Procedures
The truck is mounted with two maintenance-free 12V
batteries. The battery charger is mounted inside the
battery box which is located above the controls. For
your safety, observe the following precautions when
working with or around truck batteries:
• Read, understand and follow procedures,
recommendations, and specifications in the
battery and battery charger manufacturers’
manuals.
• Do not smoke, use open flames, or use sparkproducing devices near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area to avoid
hydrogen gas concentration.
• Do not break live circuits at the battery terminals,
because a spark usually occurs at the point where
a live circuit is broken.
• To avoid shorts and sparks, keep plugs, terminals,
cables, and receptacles in good condition.
5.3 Battery Removal And Installation
Take precautions not to jam or cut the battery cables
during installation of the battery, as this could result in a
short that may cause a fire or a battery explosion.
• Disconnect the battery connectors/cables from
the truck.
• Ensure the removed battery is properly stored.
• When installing a battery, always ensure that it is
fully charged before operating the truck
5.4 Charging Process
1. Press down the emergency switch on the keypad and
turn the key switch to OFF.
2. Open the battery box cap board and find the input
power cord of the charger.
3. Connect the power plug of the charger into
the outlet of the local power supply. This will
automatically turn the charger on, and it will run at
a rate commensurate with the requirements of the
batteries. The charger will automatically control the
procedure. When the batteries are fully charged,
the charger will only supply enough current to
maintain the batteries’ charge.

6.2 Change Oil
It is advised to change the hydraulic oil every 6 months or every 600 hours. Change the oil
every 6 months even if the hours of use are less than 600. To change the oil: Make sure the
forks are at the lowest position. Disassemble the tube joint at the lower part of cylinder and
put it in a container. Operate the lift handle to work the pump and exhaust the oil. If the truck
is used in a low-temperature environment, lift and lower two or three times after adding
hydraulic oil to purge the system. If the lift height is insufficient, replenish oil. Check the
hydraulic oil level again and add more if needed.
