GENERAL MACHINE OPERATION

Take time to check the Telescopic Forklift to make sure

all systems are in good operating condition. Perform

the following steps before starting the machine for the

first time each day.

1. Check the engine oil and coolant, transmission oil

and hydraulic oil levels.

2. Make sure weekly lubrication has been done.

3. Visually inspect for leaks, broken or malfunction-

ing parts. Make sure all caps, covers and safety shields

are in place.

4. Check tires for cuts, bulges, nails, correct pressure,

loose wheel nuts, etc.

5. Inspect the work area. Make sure you know where

you will make load pickups, lifts, and turns. Look over

the terrain of the jobsite for holes, obstacles, slippery

surfaces, soft or deep mud.

6. Check clearances of ramps, doorways and passage

ways. Check overhead clearances if you will travel and

place loads near power or telephone lines.

If the machine is found to be in need of repair or in any

way unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition, the

matter shall be reported immediately to the user’s des-

ignated authority. The machine shall NOT be operated

until it has been restored to a safe operating condition.

Operate the travel controls gradually and smoothly

when starting, stopping, turning and reversing the

directions.

Grade and Slope Precautions

The Telescopic Forklift complies with industry stabili-

ty test requirements and is stable when properly oper-

ated. However, improper operation, faulty mainte-

nance, or poor housekeeping may contribute to a con-

dition of instability and defeat the purpose of the stan-

dard.

The amount of forward and rearward tilt to be used is

governed by the application. Although use of maxi-

mum rearward tilt is allowable under certain condi-

tions such as traveling with the load fully lowered, the

stability of the machine as determined by the industry

standard tests, does not encompass consideration for

excessive tilt at high elevations, or the handling of off-

center loads.

Handle only loads within the capacity limits of the

machine, and which are stable or safely arranged.

When attachments are used, extra care shall be taken in

securing, manipulating, positioning and transporting

the load.

Grade Limits

NOTE:

Grade limits are based on ANSI standard

B56.6-1987.

1. DO NOT place or retrieve loads on an up or down

slope or grade that exceeds 6% (3.4

) grade.

2. DO NOT travel up or down a grade or slope that

exceeds 22% (12

) grade while loaded.

3. DO NOT place or retrieve loads on a side hill with

a slope or grade that exceeds 10% (6

) grade.

Regardless of terrain or position of wheels, the

FRAME MUST BE LEVEL as indicated by the level

indicator on the ROPS cross member.

4. DO NOT travel across a side hill that exceeds 18%

(10

) grade. Regardless of the terrain or position of the

wheels, the FRAME MUST BE LEVEL as indicated

by the level indicator on the ROPS cross member. The

attachment tool MUST be maintained at the “carry”

position with the boom fully retracted, and attachment

tool at minimum ground clearance.

When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5%

) the machine shall be driven with the load upgrade.

WARNING

Exhaust fumes can kill. Insure proper ventila-

tion when starting indoors or in enclosed

areas.

Use proper grab handles, NOT the steering

wheel or control levers as hand holds when

mounting or dismounting.

NEVER operate the machine with safety

guards or covers removed.

Over-inflated tires can explode and cause

injury or death. Tire repairs MUST be made

only by authorized personnel using proper

tools and equipment.
