  • Page 30: Lifting, Jacking And Blocking

    14. LIFTING, JACKING AND BLOCKING Lifting or jacking any large piece of equipment such as forklift truck presents obvious hazards. It must be done with great care and forethought. SAFE PARKING Before working on truck : Park truck on a hard, level and solid surface, such as a concrete floor with no gaps or breaks. Put mast in vertical position and fully lower the forks or attachment.
  • Page 31 Tilt mast fully forward. This raises the drive wheels off the floor. Release the tilt control lever and turn engine OFF. 15BT9UOM0136 Insert blocking under the frame behind the drive wheels or slip wheel cradles under the drive wheels. If using blocking, check for safe clearance between drive wheels and floor and blocks.
  • Page 32 BLOCKING THE MAST IN RAISED POSITION This procedure is used to safely provide clearance for access from the front of truck to components on or near the drive axle. Illustrations show mast with forks removal, however, fork removal is not necessary.
  • Page 33 RAISING REAR OF TRUCK The truck may be raised at the rear by jacking and blocking under the center of the frame member at either the front or rear steer axle mounting, or under the center section of the steering axle. Refer to truck data plate for truck weights.

    2. OPERATING HAZARDS 1. LOOSE LOADS Loose or unbalanced loads are danger- ous. Observe these precautions. Never carry loose or uneven material. 15BT9UOM0200 Place the wide loads in the middle of the forks. 15BT9UOM0201 Stack and band loose material. 15BT9UOM0202...
  • Page 37: Long And Wide Loads

    2. LONG AND WIDE LOADS With long or wide loads, you need more room. So slow down and watch your clearance. When extra-long material makes it necessary to travel with the load elevated, do so with extreme care and be alert to load end-swing when turning.
  • Page 38: Low Overhead Clearance

    4. LOW OVERHEAD CLEARANCE Know the height of your truck, with and without a load. Check your clearances. Keep the load low and tilted back. 15BT9UOM0205 Watch overhead clearance : Moving into overhead structures can tip a truck over, or spill a load. 15BT9UOM0206 5.
  • Page 39: Drop-Offs

    6. DROP-OFFS To avoid these hazards, you must : Talk to the truck driver yourself : make sure the driver does not move the trailer until you are done. Apply trailer brakes. Use wheel chocks. Use trailer-to-dock locking system if available.
  • Page 40: Chain Slack

    8. CHAIN SLACK Slack chains mean rail or carriage hang- up. Raise the forks before you move, or broken chains can result. 15BT9UOM0212 15BT9UOM0213 9. PALLETS AND SKIDS Do not move or store materials on damaged pallets or skids. Items can fall through them causing severe injury or death.

    Do not make repairs yourself unless you are trained in fork lift truck repair procedures and authorized by your employer. Have a qualified mechanic make repairs using genuine HYUNDAI or HYUNDAI- approved parts. Do not operate a truck if it is in need of repair. If it is in an unsafe condition, remove the key and report the condition to the proper authority.
  • Page 68: Visual Checks

    2. VISUAL CHECKS First, perform a visual inspection of the truck and its major components : Walk around your lift truck and take note of obvious damage that may have been caused by operation during the last shift. Check that all capacity, safety, and warning plates or decals are attached and legible. Check that the battery is installed and secured in position correctly.
  • Page 69: Functional Checks

    3. FUNCTIONAL CHECKS Check the operation of the truck as follows. Before performing these checks, familiarize yourself with the operating procedures in Section Test warning devices, horn, lights, and other safety equipment and accessories. With the truck on, check the diagnostic display, or the hour meter and battery discharge indicator (depending on which truck you have).
  • Page 70: Operating Procedures

    5. OPERATING PROCEDURES 1. BEFORE OPERATING THE TRUCK Be sure that you have read and understand the information in this Operator's Manual and are trained and authorized before operating the lift truck. This equipment can be dangerous if not used properly. Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator.
  • Page 71: Adjusting The Seat

    3. ADJUSTING THE SEAT Adjust the seat to a comfortable position for you. Adjust the seat by moving and holding the release lever at the front edge of the seat. Put the seat in a position that will provide easy reach to all controls. Never adjust the driver's seat while the truck is moving, to avoid the possibility of loss of control and of personal injury.

  • Page 75: Operating Safely

    8. OPERATING SAFELY Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator. Watch where you are going. Don’t go if you can’t see. Before driving, check all around to be sure that your intended path of travel is clear of obstructions and pedestrians.
  • Page 76 Travel with the fork carriage tilted back and raised only enough to fully clear the ground or obstacles. When the carriage(load) is in an elevated position the stability of the truck is reduced. Do not elevate the load except during stacking. Grades, ramps, and inclines.
  • Page 77: Load Handling

    9. LOAD HANDLING GENERAL Handle only loads that are within the truck rated capacity as shown on the nameplate. This rating specifies the maximum load that should be lifted. However, other factors such as special load handling attachments, load of a high center of gravity, or uneven terrain may dictate that the safe working load be less than the rated capacity.
  • Page 78 ADJUSTING THE LOAD FORKS The load forks are adjustable on the hanger, carriage. Forks should be spaced as far apart as the load will allow. Both forks should always be the same distance from the center of the fork carriage. To adjust the forks, raise the carriage slightly. Tilt the mast fully forward to reduce friction and make the fork slide easier.
  • Page 79 TRAVELING WITH LOAD Travel with load or carriage as low as possible and tilted back. Never travel with the load or carriage raised (elevated) in a high position. Do not elevate the load except during stacking. Observe all traffic regulations and watch for other traffic, pedestrians, and safe clearances. Always look in the direction of travel.
  • Page 80 PICKING UP AND MOVING LOADS When picking up a load from the ground, approach the load slowly and carefully align the truck square with the load. The forks should be adjusted to fit the load or pallet being handle and spread as wide as possible to provide good stability and balance.
  • Page 81 STACKING To put a load on a stack Approach slowly and align the lift truck and load squarely with the stack. 15BT9UOM0515 Raise the load as the lift truck nears the stack. 15BT9UOM0516 Move forward slowly until the load almost touches the stack. The leading edge and sides of the load pallet should line up exactly with the near edge and side of the load or rack on which you are stacking.
  • Page 82 To move a load from a stack Approach the stack carefully, truck lined up squarely with the load. With mast vertical, raise the forks to the correct height for freely engaging the load pallet. Adjust fork angle as necessary to fit squarely under the load.
  • Page 83: Shut Down Procedure

    10. SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE Always leave your lift truck in a safe condition. When you leave your truck, or park it, follow these safety rules Park in a safe area away from normal traffic. Never park on a grade. Never park in areas that block emergency routes or equipment, access to fire aisles, or stairways and fire equipment.
  • Page 84: Emergency Towing

    6. EMERGENCY TOWING 1. TOWING PRECAUTIONS If your lift truck becomes disabled but it can be moved freely on its own wheels without further damage, use the following procedures to tow it safely to a repair area. It is important for your safety and the care of your lift truck to use the proper equipment and carefully follow these recommendations for safe towing.
  • Page 85: Towing Procedures

    Replace it, when necessary, only with a genuine HYUNDAI replacement part). Use an approved, solid metal tow bar with towing couplers that connect to the towing pins in the counterweights.
