Load Safety
Warning
Failure to follow proper safety procedures
when lifting, lowering, and traveling
with a load can cause property damage,
injury, or death.
DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 9,000 pounds
(4082 Kilograms). The total rated capacity of the
forks being used must equal or exceed forklift
capacity. Forks can break causing loss of load and
possible injury or death.
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer's rated
load for any auxiliary attachment. Any
attempt to lift or carry loads in excess of
the manufacturer's rated load may cause
forklift tip over, loss of load, or structural damage
which could result in injury or death.
Failure to keep personnel clear of the
load area while the load is being raised or
lowered can result in injury or death. DO
NOT lift, swing, or move a load over anyone
or over a forklift cab.
• Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary
attachment before performing any operation.
• Use the correct load chart and NEVER exceed
specified weights and load centers.
• DO NOT exceed the manufacturer's recommended
load capacity.
• DO NOT operate the forklift with an unsafe load
distribution.
• Adjust the load as necessary, especially for
nonstandard loads.
• Use caution when handling loose material that can
fall into the cab.
• Remove overhanging load materials, when possible,
and watch for sliding material.
• DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that
can enter the cab, if tipped.
• Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns.
• Avoid carrying a swinging load. If necessary, secure
the load by attaching it to the forklift tie-downs and/
or have another person assist with safely steadying
the load.

Attachments
Warning
Improper connection of an auxiliary attachment can
result in injury or death. Attachments not locked into
place can break free and fall on the operator or other
personnel near the forklift.
• Make sure attachment locking devices are always
in place.
• DO NOT operate the forklift until you have positive
indication that the coupler pin and lever are fully
engaged.
• Hydraulic attachments have a maximum hydraulic
pressure rating. Failure to make sure the attachment
is equal to or slightly greater than 3,500 psi (241.4
bar), which is the maximum pressure of the forklift
auxiliary hydraulic system at the quick-disconnect
couplers, could result in injury or death.
• Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight
(if equipped).
Shut Down Procedure
Warning
To prevent injury or death, follow these procedures
before leaving the forklift cab:
• Park forklift on a firm, level surface.
• Move travel select lever to NEUTRAL (N).
• Set parking brake to ON (engaged).
• Lower forks and attachments to the ground.
Always engage the parking
brake before leaving the
forklift. The forklift can roll
if the parking brake is not ON (engaged) resulting in
injury or death.
• Turn Ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Remove the key.
• Unbuckle the seat belt.
• Place "Do Not Operate" tags on the Starter
switch and steering wheel when maintenance
or service is required.
• Block wheels when maintenance is required.
