Load Handling
Death or serious injury by electrocution
will result from contact with or inadequate
clearance with energized power lines or
apparatus.
•
Take extreme caution when operating the forklift in an
area where active overhead power lines, overhead or
underground cables, or other power sources exist.
•
Contact the appropriate power or utility company to de-
energize power lines or take other suitable precautions.
Keep the forklift, attachments, and loads a
safe distance from electrical power lines.
•
Remain at least 10 feet (3 meters), plus an additional
0.4 inches (10 millimeters) for each 1,000 Volts over
50,000 Volts, from active power lines and other power
sources.
•
Work site operating directives and/or local or state
codes might require a greater distance.
•
Know the maximum height and reach of this reach
forklift.
Failure to follow proper safety procedures
when lifting, lowering, and traveling with
a load could cause death, serious injury, or
property damage.
DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 5,500 pounds (2,494 ki-
lograms). The total rated capacity of the forks being used
must equal to, or exceed, the forklift capacity. Forks can
bend or break causing loss of load and could result in death
or serious injury.
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer's rated load
for any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to
lift or carry loads in excess of the manufactur-
er's rated load may cause forklift tip over, loss
of load, or structural damage which could re-
sult in death, serious injury, or property damage.

Boom Lift Point
DO NOT exceed rated capacities. Any attempt
to lift or carry loads in excess of those shown
on the load capacity charts could cause
forklift tip over, loss of load, or structural
damage which could result in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
There is boom lift point on the underside of the boom that
may be used to lift and carry loads.
There is a dedicated boom lift point load chart on the forklift,
which should be referenced when using the boom lift
point. Refer to the suspended loads section of this manual
when handling suspended loads for specific warnings and
instructions unique to this type of operation.
