SAFETY

CAUTION, WARNING, & DANGER: WHAT THEY MEAN

Hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” and followed by a signal word: Caution, Warning, or Danger.

CAUTION

CAUTION means that a situation COULD be hazardous and MAY result in personal injury if not avoided.

CAUTION is also used to alert against unsafe practices.

SAFETY STANDARD

The ASME/ANSI B56.6 safety standard for rough terrain forklift trucks defines safety requirements relating to the design, operation, and maintenance of these vehicles. For a copy of this standard write to:

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers

United Engineering Center

345 East 47th Street

New York, NY 10017

DECALS

The decals on the machine provide instructions for safe and correct operation.

Never make modifications affecting safe operation or capacity without the expressed written approval of

LULL®.

When LULL® approved modifications are made, the user is responsible for seeing that appropriate decals, load charts, and instructions are changed.

All plates and decals must be in place and legible at all times.

WARNING

WARNING means that a situation COULD be hazardous and MAY result in serious injury or death if not avoided.

DANGER

DANGER means that a situation IS HAZARDOUS AND WILL result in serious injury or death if not avoided.

ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS) & FALLING OBJECT PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (FOPS)

This machine is equipped with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) to guard the operator if the machine tips over. The Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) is built into the ROPS. The FOPS protects the operator from falling objects.

Despite the protection of the ROPS/FOPS, it cannot protect the operator from every possible hazard. Do not consider the ROPS/FOPS a substitute for safe practices and good common sense.

Any modification to a ROPS/FOPS, such as welding or drilling holes in the structural members for mounting brackets, will affect the ROPS/FOPS capability to provide the required protection.

Any modification or repair without the specific written approval of LULL INTERNATIONAL, INC. will void the ROPS/FOPS certification. Contact your authorized LULL INTERNATIONAL, INC. dealer before making any modifications or repairs. Failure to do so may void the ROPS/FOPS certification.
