Electric forklift trucks

Adjust the position (spread) of the forks to match the size of the
load.
When adjusting the position (width) of the forks, be careful not to
get your hands caught.
After adjusting, check that the forks are held securely in position by
the fork stopper. If the forks are not held in position, there is a
danger that the forks may move when the lift truck is traveling and
the load may fall off.
Be sure the tension of the left and right chains is the same. If the tension is not the same, the load will be
unbalanced even if it is loaded correctly in the center, and there is danger that the lift truck may tip.
Do not allow the tips of the forks to get close to people. The tips
of the forks are pointed, so there is a risk that they may cause
injury.
Do not hook the tips of the forks under objects. If the forks slip
out, there is danger that the lift truck or object may move
unexpectedly.
Do not allow anyone except the signal person in the working area.
Do not let any person or another lift truck come close during operation.
When working with a signal person, always follow their instructions.
Always be sure that the pallets and skids have ample strength. If broken or damaged pallets or skids are
used, there is a risk that the load may fall.
Always check that the load is positioned securely and safely on the pallet before driving the truck.
