 Warning
passengers to ride could result in death or serious
injury. The reach 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. Rapid turning while using crab or four wheel
(4W) 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 hitting personnel and
other objects in the area and to prevent death, serious
injury, or property damage.

NEVER allow passengers to
ride on the forklift. DO NOT
allow riders on the frame
or operator cab. Allowing
 Warning
To prevent death, serious injury, or
property damage, make sure the forklift
comes to a complete stop before moving
the travel select lever. A sudden change in
direction of travel, while carrying a load, could reduce
stability and/or cause the load to shift or fall.
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 injury.
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.
