Operation Manual15
Attachments
Warning
Improper connection of an auxiliary attachment could
result in death or serious injury. Attachments not locked
into place can become unstable and fall on the operator or
other personnel near the forklift.
• Make sure attachment locking devices are always in
place.
• DO NOT operate the forklift until you have positive
indication that the coupler pin and lever are fully
engaged.
• Hydraulic attachments have a maximum hydraulic
pressure rating. Failure to make sure the attachment
is equipped with a pressure reducing valve, or is rated
to be equal or greater than 3,900 psi, which is the
maximum pressure of the forklift auxiliary hydraulic
system at the quick-disconnect couplers, could result in
death or serious injury.
• Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight (if
equipped).
Shut Down Procedure
Warning
To prevent death or serious injury, follow these procedures
before leaving the forklift cab:
• Park forklift on a rm, level surface.
• Move travel select lever to NEUTRAL (N).
• Set parking brake to ON (engaged).
• Lower forks and attachments to the ground.
Always engage the parking
brake before leaving the
forklift. The forklift can roll if
the parking brake is not ON
(engaged), which could result in
death, serious injury, or property damage.
• Turn Ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Remove the key.
• Unbuckle the seat belt.
• Place “Do Not Operate” tags on the Starter switch
and steering wheel when maintenance or service is
required.
• Block wheels when maintenance is required.
Forklift Maintenance
Warning
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper
maintenance to make sure the forklift continues to meet
manufacturer’s specications. Failure to properly maintain
the forklift can result in improper performance, which could
cause death, serious injury, or property damage.
Attach “Do Not Operate” tags to the Ignition
switch and steering wheel before beginning
any service or maintenance.
• “Do Not Operate” tags indicate the forklift should
not be operated until all service or maintenance is
completed.
• Keep two (2) legible “Do Not Operate” tags with the
forklift at all times. “Do Not Operate” tags are provided
at the end of this manual.
• DO NOT operate the forklift and attachments if they
require repairs.
• Make sure basic maintenance is completed and service
problems are corrected.
• Death or serious injury can result from operating a
forklift before all repairs have been made and all prop-
er maintenance is completed.
Check hydraulic oil lines, tubes,
and hoses carefully. DO NOT
use your bare hand to check for
leaks. Always use a board or
cardboard when checking for
a hydraulic leak. Escaping hydraulic uid under pressure,
even a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, which
could cause death or serious injury. If hydraulic oil is inject-
ed into your skin, a doctor familiar with this type of injury
must treat it immediately.
Warning
Serious injury could result from
hydraulic oil pressure or hot
oil. DO NOT remove a hydrau-
lic tank ller cap unless it is
cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Remove the hydraulic tank ller cap slowly to relieve
pressure. Relieve all pressure in a hydraulic system before
any caps, lines, ttings, or related items are disconnected
or removed.
