and make sure that you understand and follow them. If you do not understand or do not follow the
instructions, this will lead to improper operation which may lead to damage, personal injury or death.
•
Be sure that you understand the proper method of using the lift truck and the procedure for carrying out
an inspection, and ensure that they are carried out safely.
•
Read this Manual and the Safety Labels again from time to time. If the Operation and Maintenance
Manual or Safety Labels have been lost or become dirty and cannot be read, obtain replacements from
your Komatsu Forklift dealer and attach the Safety Labels in the specified positions.
•
This lift truck should be operated only by qualified personnel. Be sure you have proper qualifications

When you start to use this lift truck, be sure that you carry out ample practice so that you become
accustomed to each part of the equipment. Even when you have become accustomed to handling the lift
truck, always drive carefully and do not try to force the truck beyond its capacity. Failure to observe these
precautions may lead to serious personal injury or accident.

For those operators who have recently obtained qualifications to operate lift trucks, always seek the
advice of experienced operators or instructors in the methods of operating and loading the lift truck.
•
For those operating more than one lift truck, even if the model is the same specification, remember that
each truck differs slightly in the performance and reaction of the brakes, accelerator, and loading system.
When changing from one truck to another, always be sure that you become accustomed to the
performance of the truck before operating it. The feeling when operating the brakes is particularly
important.

When operating this lift truck, even if you have experience in operating other lift trucks, obtain instruction
from an authorized person who has experience in operating this lift truck or the same type of lift truck.

Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, and loose long hair. They can catch on
controls or in moving parts and cause serious injury or death.

Always wear a hard hat and safety boots.
