To operate the lift truck safely and get the most
out of it, correct procedures are described on the
following pages:
DURING BREAK-IN
We recommend to operate the truck under light
load conditions for the first stage of operation to get
the most from it. Especially, the requirements given
below should be observed while the truck is in a
stage of 200 hours of operation.
Always warm up your truck before putting it
into work regardless of the seasons.
Perform specified preventive maintenance
services carefully and completely.
Never "race" or play games with the truck.
Avoid sudden stops, starts or turns.
Oil changes and lubrication are recom-
mended to do earlier than specified.
Do not run the engine needlessly at high
rpm without load.
PROPER OPERATION
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOAD
AND STABILITY OF TRUCK
The lift truck keeps a balance of weight between the
truck and the load on the forks with the center of the
front wheels as a fulcrum when the rated capacity
load is placed in position.
Due care should be paid to the weight and the
load's center of gravity to maintain stability.
If the rated capacity is exceeded, there is a danger
of the rear wheels being raised and in the worst
case, the truck will turn over, resulting in a fatal
accident. The load placed near the fork tips
practically has the same effect that the weight of
the load is increased. In this case, the load weight
must be reduced accordingly.
