3. Safety Precautions
■ ■ ■ ■ Loading/unloading cargo
WARNING
Before loading the forklift into a truck, make sure that the truck is
securely parked.
During loading into a truck or container, if the truck or container unexpectedly
starts, the forklift may fall. Before loading the forklift into a truck or container,
make sure that the truck is securely parked (with parking blocks, etc.).
WARNING
Do not overload the forklift.
If the forklift is overloaded beyond the maximum allowable load weight, the forklift
overturns. If the forklift overturns, the forklift and dropped cargo may collide with
a person, resulting in serious injury.
WARNING
The maximum allowable load weight will be reduced when the load
size is large.
If the center of gravity of load exceeds 500 mm from the root of the fork, the
maximum allowable load weight of this forklift will be reduced. Overloading the
forklift beyond the maximum allowable load weight causes the forklift to overturn.
If the forklift overturns, the forklift and dropped cargo may collide with a person,
resulting in serious injury.
CAUTION
Do not put cargo at the tip of the fork.
If a pallet is not inserted to the root of the fork, the forklift becomes unstable and
may overturn. Also, the pallet may fall from the fork.
CAUTION
Adjust the fork width according to the pallet being used.
If the fork width is not adjusted according to the pallet being used, the pallet
becomes unstable, causing the cargo to fall.
CAUTION
Do not stack cargo in a condition that it may collapse.
Stack cargo on a pallet so that it will not collapse. If the cargo collapses, the
dropped cargo may collide with a person, resulting in injury.
