4. Handling Procedure
WARNING
Do not use the forklift for sling work.
Do not sling a cargo with the fork. If a cargo is slung with the fork, it may collide with a person when the
cargo swings, resulting in injury to the person. Also, if the cargo swings, the forklift becomes unstable
and may overturn. The forklift may collide with a person, resulting in serious injury.
Stacking a long object makes the forklift unstable.
If a long object is stacked, the forklift becomes unstable and may overturn. Also, the cargo may fall. If
such a case, the forklift and dropped cargo may collide with a person, resulting in serious injury.
Do not enter the area under the fork.
If you enter the area under the fork, you may hit by a dropped cargo or lowered fork, resulting in serious injury.
Do not use the forklift for work at an elevated position.
Do not raise the fork with a person riding the fork or pallet. The person may fall and suffer serious injury.
Do not conduct loading/unloading work on a slope.
If you conduct loading/unloading work with the forklift placed on a slope, the cargo may fall, and the
forklift becomes unstable and may overturn. In such a case, the cargo and forklift may collide with a
person, resulting in serious injury.
Do not put a hand in the clearance of the mast.
If you put a hand in the clearance of the mast, the hand may be caught by the mast when it moves,
resulting in serious injury, or may be caught by the chain, resulting in injury.
Do not put a part of your body between the mast and the vehicle body.
Do not put a part of your body (hand, arm, foot, etc.) between the mast and the vehicle body. When the
mast or vehicle body unexpectedly moves, the part of your body may be pinched between the mast and
the vehicle body, resulting in serious injury.
