Safety
Never attempt to create Diesel Exhaust Fluid by mixing agri-
cultural grade urea with water. Agricultural grade urea does
not met the specifications required and thye aftertreatment
system may be damaged.
DO NOT use the forklift as a work platform
or personnel carrier. Falling of attachments
could result in death or serious injury.
The forklift is designed for the safety of the operator only.
NEVER use crab or four wheel (4W) steering for
traveling at high speeds. Use only two wheel
(2W) steering for higher speed travel and slow
the forklift before turning.
while using crab or four wheel steering can
cause tip over which could result in death or serious injury.
DO NOT travel with an elevated boom.
Retract the boom fully. Lower the boom as
low as practical for proper visibility. Maintain
enough ground clearance for conditions.
Traveling with an elevated boom can cause
tip over, which could result in death or serious injury.
Allow for adequate clearance between the
attachment and other objects when turning.
The attachment extends beyond the front of
the forklift. The operator must be aware of the
maximum sweep of any attachment being used to avoid hit-
ting personnel and other objects in the area and to prevent
death, serious injury, or property damage.
To prevent death, serious injury, or property
damage, make sure the forklift comes to a
complete stop before moving the travel se-
lect lever. A sudden change in direction of
travel, while carrying a load, could reduce
stability and/or cause the load to shift or fall.
Caution
Warning
NEVER allow passengers to ride
on the forklift. DO NOT allow
riders on the frame or operator
cab. Allowing passengers to ride
could result in serious injury.
Rapid turning
Warning
DO NOT shift through multiple gears with a
single turn of the gear select lever. Allow the
engine speed to slow down before shifting to
the next lower gear. Improper use of the gear
select lever could cause transmission damage
or forklift tip over/roll over and result in death or serious in-
jury.
Operate the forklift for maximum stability.
Unstable forklifts can tip over, resulting in
death, serious injury, or property damage.
Keep the forklift stable by following these
and other appropriate guidelines:
Adjust speed for terrain and conditions.
Avoid obstacles by driving around them rather than
over them, when possible.
Start, stop, travel, steer, and brake smoothly.
Load, unload, and turn the forklift on level ground,
when possible.
Slow down for turns.
Slow down for rough, slippery, or soft terrain.
Use caution around steep slopes, creeks, gullies, ridges,
ditches, and ravines.
Stay away from soft edges that could collapse under
the forklift.
Become completely familiar with the forklift
before operating on slopes. The forklift could
overturn due to sudden movement or while
operating on a slope resulting in death or
serious injury.
over, and result in death or serious injury.
DO NOT turn on a steep slope.
DO NOT drive the forklift across slopes.
Always drive the forklift straight up and down a slope
(never drive diagonally up or down a slope).
Drive the forklift forward up a slope (front of forklift fac-
ing uphill).
Back the forklift down a slope when loaded (front of
forklift facing uphill).

Warning
DO NOT raise the boom while
operating on a slope. Raising
the boom on a slope, even with-
out a load, will change the cen-
ter of gravity, could cause a tip
