Hyundai Heavy Industries 25-9A Manual

A MESSAGE TO HYUNDAI LIFT TRUCK OPERATORS
Lift trucks are specialized trucks with unique operating characteristics, designed to perform a specific
job. Their function and operation is not like a car or ordinary truck. They require specific instructions
and rules for safe operation and maintenance.
Safe operation of lift trucks is of primary importance to HYUNDAI.
Our experience with lift truck accidents has shown that when accidents happen and people are killed or
injured, the causes are:
Operator not properly trained
Operator not experienced with lift truck operation
Basic safety rules not followed
Lift truck not maintained in safe operating condition
For these reasons, HYUNDAI wants you to know about the safe operation and correct maintenance of
your lift truck.
This manual is designed to help you operate your lift truck safely.
This manual shows and tells you about safety inspections and the important general safety rules and
hazards of lift truck operation. It describes the special components and features of the truck and
explains their function. The correct operating procedures are shown and explained. Illustrations and
important safety messages are included for clear understanding. A section on maintenance and
lubrication is included for the lift truck mechanic.
The operator's manual is not a training manual. It is a guide to help trained and authorized operators
safety operate their lift truck by emphasizing and illustrating the correct procedures. However, it cannot
cover every possible situation that may result in an accident. You must watch for hazards in your work
areas and avoid or correct them. It is important that you know and understand the information in this
manual and that you know and follow your company safety rules!
Be sure that your equipment is maintained in a safe condition. Do not operate a damaged or

high standards in safety.

your responsibility, and it is important to you and your family, to operate your lift truck safely and

that operators be completely trained in the safe operation of lift trucks; It is also an (OSHA)
requirement that a truck inspection be performed before every shift. If you need training in
operating or inspecting your lift truck, ask your supervisor.
HYUNDAI lift trucks are built to take hard work, but not abuse. They are built to be dependable, but
they are only as safe and efficient as the operator and the persons responsible for maintaining them.
Do not make any repairs to this truck unless you have been trained in safe lift truck repair procedures
and are authorized by your employer.
