4. Handling Procedure
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.).
CAUTION
Run the forklift with the handle placed forward.
If you run the forklift with the fork placed forward, the handle may become unstable, resulting in a
collision accident. Run the forklift with the handle placed forward, except for a case where you insert the
fork into a pallet or push a pallet by inserting the fork.
During transfer, tilt the mast backward.
Tilt the mast backward so as to stabilize the cargo during transfer. If the mast is not tilted backward, the
cargo becomes unstable and may fall, resulting in a collision accident.
Do not stop the forklift rapidly.
If the forklift is rapidly stopped, the cargo may fall and hit a person. Also, rapidly stopping the forklift may
cause collision with surrounding people and vehicles.
During travel, do not raise the fork.
If the fork is raised during travel, the forklift becomes unstable and may overturn, and the cargo may fall.
Do not place the fork downward during travel on a slope.
If the fork is placed downward during travel on a slope, the cargo may fall. The dropped cargo may
collide with a person, resulting in injury.
Do not ride the forklift.
This forklift is not equipped with a riding device. If you ride the forklift, you may fall and suffer injury.
Do not press cargo during transfer.
If the forklift runs with the cargo being pressed, the person who presses the cargo may collide with the
forklift and a surrounding object, resulting in injury.
Do not override objects scattered on the floor.
If the forklift overrides objects scattered on the floor, the forklift is inclined, causing the cargo to fall. Do
not override scattered objects.
Hold discussion about a guide sign.
When a guide is allocated, a guide sign should be discussed in advance.
If work starts without discussion about a guide sign, the worker may confuse the sign, causing collision
and fall accidents.
