4. Handling Procedure
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.
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.
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.
Do not stack cargo higher than the backrest.
If cargo is stacked higher than the backrest, the cargo over the backrest height falls and may collide with
a person, resulting in injury.
Do not put cargo directly on the fork.
The surface of fork is slippery. If cargo is directly put on the fork, the cargo will slip and fall, and it may
collide with a person, resulting in injury. Be sure to use a pallet to stack cargo.
Do not stack cargo under uneven load condition.
If cargo is stacked under uneven load condition, the pallet may be inclined when it is raised, causing the
cargo to fall. If the cargo falls, it may collide with a person, resulting in injury.
Do not use a damaged pallet.
If a damaged pallet is used, the pallet and cargo falls, and may collide with a person, resulting in injury.
Use caution when handling the fork width lock bracket.
When adjusting the fork width, handle the fork width lock bracket carefully so that your hand will not be
pinched with the bracket.
Do not lower the fork rapidly.
If the fork is rapidly lowered, the cargo falls and may collide with a person, resulting in injury.
Do not step on the fork or pallet
If you step on the fork or pallet, you may overturn if the forklift or fork unexpectedly moves, resulting in injury.
Do not pry a cargo with the fork.
If a cargo is pried with the fork, the forklift and cargo move unexpectedly, and may collide with a person,
resulting in injury.
Be careful to prevent collision of the mast with a ceiling.
As the fork is raised, the mast is also raised. When raising the fork, be careful to prevent collision of the
mast with a ceiling. If the mast collides with a ceiling, the cargo falls and may collide with a person,
resulting in injury.
