guidelines shown here.
· DO NOT JUMP
· BRACE YOUR FEET
FIRMLY
· HOLD ON TIGHT
· LEAN AWAY FROM THE TIP
The most likely causes of tip-over are listed in this
section. However, the operator must use good
judgment based on proper training and experience
to determine turning sharpness and speed for the
load being handled and the operating surface (or
road) conditions.
A truck can tip longitudinally (tipping over the front or
rear wheels) or laterally (tipping either to the left or
right side).

Safety Precautions
Longitudinal Tipping Can Occur Lateral Tipping Can Occur When:

incline with a load.
· a load heavier than the rated truck capacity is
lifted.
Tipping over in these conditions is made more likely
by overloading, excessive mast tilt, or off-center
positioning of the load.
Soft tires can also reduce stability. The truck is
equipped with tires of a size and hardness that will
provide the necessary traction and maintain a proper
shape to minimize tipping. Always replace tires with
the type originally supplied by the manufacturer.
The truck can be tipped either longitudinally or
laterally if it is driven:
· over objects on the floor or ground.
· off the edge of a paved surface.
· into a pothole in a paved surface.
· off the edge of a loading dock, or off the edge
of a loading ramp. (It is important to avoid
driving too close to the edge of a dock or
ramp).
When loading or unloading a highway truck or trailer,
make sure the highway truck cannot move away
from a dock while loading is in process. Make sure
the highway truck or trailer has its brakes applied,
engine turned off and, if on an incline, has the
wheels blocked.
Tipping can also occur if the truck collides with
another truck or other vehicle, or if the mast runs into
an overhead obstruction.

Introduction
Your Bendi B40i3 Forklift Operator’s Manual contains basic
instructions for operation and maintenance of Bendi B40i3
forklifts. This information must be carefully reviewed and
understood before attempting to operate the vehicle.
Safe and efficient forklift operation requires skill and alertness.
You must be familiar with the vehicle, understand its capabilities,
and follow the operating procedures and safety instructions
recommended in this manual.
According to legislation, your employer must make training
available to ensure that you are competent to safely operate the
type of forklift that you will be using in the workplace.
Safe and efficient operation also depends on correct
maintenance of the vehicle. An Operator’s Daily Checklist, which
outlines maintenance that must be performed each time the
vehicle is put into operation, is located in Appendix A. The
checklist should be part of a complete preventive Maintenance
Schedule. Make certain that the vehicle is correctly maintained
and is in good mechanical condition at all times, even though
you may not perform all service on the vehicle yourself. Report
any failure immediately for correction. Otherwise, even minor
failures or damage may result in major failures, or create unsafe
operating conditions.

Introduction
Mast Assemblies
Various mast assembly configurations (duplex,
triplex and /or quadplex) can be applied to the Bendi
B40i3 Model trucks to provide both collapsed and
extended heights suitable for most customer
requirements. The lifting capacity of the mast also
varies depending on the truck and its application.
Load capacities are determined at 24” (609.6 mm)
centers, centered on the mast and include all
attachments on the carriage.
The Bendi Specifications sheet at the end of this
chapter lists the dimensions of standard masts
available for these trucks. Also check the capacity
plate in the operator’s compartment for the
Figure 1-12 Mast in Collapsed Position
maximum lifting capabilities based on the particular
truck and mast combination (See Figure 1-1).
The trucks are counterweighted to compensate for
all positions of the maximum allowed load.
Masts are engineered to distribute thrust loads
evenly between the rollers and rails. Masts move as
a unit, providing maximum strength and endurance
for the rated load and consist of up to three pairs of
channels or rails (steel beams) rolling one within the
other on steel rollers.
The outer rails provide guidance and support for the
middle rails, which in turn guide and support the
inner rails. The truck forks are mounted on a
carriage assembly that runs on rollers within the
inner rails (See Figure 1-12).
Figure 1-13 Mast in Free Lift Position
A primary cylinder is supported by the inner rails and

hydraulically controlled. As the primary cylinder rod
extends, a sheave and chain assembly lift the
fork/carriage upward at twice the distance covered
by the cylinder rod.
This first stage of carriage lift is called free lift. It is
the distance of lift available without increasing the
overall height of the mast assembly (See Figure
1-13).
A secondary cylinder, attached to the outer rails, lifts

the middle and inner rails progressively via chains,
rollers and sheaves. The inner rails are raised at
twice the rate of extension of the secondary cylinder Figure 1-14 Mast Fully Extended
piston.
This upward lift continues until the secondary
cylinders are fully extended (See Figure 1-14).

1-10
Introduction
The hydraulic fluid used to lift the primary cylinder is

applied sequentially to the secondary cylinder.
When the primary cylinder reaches full extension,
the secondary cylinder begins to extend.
The differences in weights being supported by the
cylinders, along with the differences in cylinder
diameters, ensure that the primary cylinder will be
fully extended before the secondary cylinder can
begin to move. Consequently, when the mast is
raised, it moves through two phases:
· Free lift, in which only the carriage assembly
moves, up to the maximum height allowed by
the inner rails (See Figure 1-13).
· Rail extension, in which both the middle and
inner rails move, carrying the carriage
upward (See Figure 1-14). Figure 1-15 Quadplex Mast in Collapsed Position
Downward movement of the mast is accomplished
by releasing the hydraulic fluid from the cylinders
back into the reservoir. The weight of the rails and
carriage provides enough pressure to force the fluid
from the cylinders. When the secondary cylinder
piston is fully contracted, the primary cylinder begins
to collapse, forcing its fluid back to the reservoir.
The mast is supported by trunnions, which allow it to
tilt fore and aft. Two short hydraulic cylinders
mounted between the bottom of the mast and the
pivot arm control the amount of tilt. A mast indicator
gauge (pointer) is located on the left side of the mast
(as viewed from the front of the truck) to indicate
when the carriage/forks are perfectly level with the
floor.
As an option, trucks may be equipped with quadplex
masts which utilize four sets of rails, referred to as
Outer, Outer Intermediate, middle, and Inner rails,
respectively (See Figure 1-15).
The primary cylinder and carriage operate the same
as a triplex (three-rail) mast. When the secondary
cylinders extend, they lift the middle rails. Through
an intricate system of chains and sheaves, the rising
middle rails pull up the outer intermediate rails at half
the middle rail speed, and push up the inner rails at
twice the middle rail speed.

SECTION 3
Before You Begin
This section of your Bendi B40i3 Forklift Operator’s Manual
discusses the following concepts that must be thoroughly
understood before you can operate a Bendi B40i3 forklift:
Operator training - Discusses the operator training required by
legislation and its implications for operators of Bendi B40i3
forklifts.
Operator safety - Reviews the safety guidelines operators need
to be aware of before they operate a fork lift.
Understanding stability - In this discussion you will learn about
the stability triangle and how to use it to help prevent your Bendi
B40i3 forklift from tipping over.
Knowing the rated capacity - The meaning of rated capacity
and how it relates to how high you lift the load, the load center,
and attachments used is discussed in detail using several
examples.
Understanding workplace conditions - This discussion makes
you aware of hazards in the workplace that you must understand
to avoid accidents. You need to stay aware of changing
conditions in your workplace such as potholes, overhead
obstructions, and pedestrian traffic that may change on a daily
basis. You also need to understand how to load and unload
transport vehicles.

Operating Instructions –
Handling a Load
Narrow-aisles, plus the size of the truck, prevent a
load from being pulled straight out of the rack. You
must pivot the front end and shift (or inch) the load in
or out of the rack. A combination of movements,
where the pivot or shift actions occur with forward or
backward movements of the truck, are needed to
inch the load in and out of position. This will require
some practice by the operator to be performed
smoothly and effectively.

forks straight (See Figure 4-23).
12. If you still are unable to get enough clearance,
drive forward and try the removal process again.
To get more clearance, don’t start turning the
forks until you have backed out 8 in. to 16 in.
13. When the first corner of the load (item 1) Figure
4-24 clears the rack, stop backing and turn the
steering wheel clockwise to straighten out the
forks so they are parallel with the body of the
truck (See Figure 4-25).

14. Lower the forks until they are 4 in. to 6 in. off the
ground and slowly drive the truck to the next
location observing the safety rules previously
stated.
Warning
Lowering the mast improves driver visi-
bility, and improves the stability of the
truck by reducing the possibility of per-
sonal injury or damage to the load if it
were to slip from the forks.

In Case Your Forklift Tips Over

The following conditions can cause a forklift to tip
over:
· A load exceeding the stated load centers
· Tip Loading (See Figure 4-26)
· A load that is too heavy
· Taking a corner too fast
· Driving with the load raised
· A load that is not distributed properly (keep Figure 4-26
the heavier items near the load backrest)
· Driving across a slope 2. Hold on to the steering wheel (See Figure 4-28).
· Driving on a slope with the load facing
downhill
Warning
Failure to follow these guidelines can
cause serious injury or death.
If you sense your forklift is going to tip-over, follow
these instructions:
1. Lean away from the direction the truck is tipping
(See Figure 4-27).
Figure 4-28
3. Brace your feet (See Figure 4-29).
Figure 4-27
Figure 4-29

4-23
4. Don’t jump (See Figure 4-30). Follow these rules when you carry a load to help
prevent the truck from tipping:
· Slow down. Your forklift can tip over if you
turn at a high rate of speed!
· Sound the horn as you reach the intersection
to warn pedestrians and other equipment
operators you are approaching the
intersection.
· Always follow the rules of the road and yield
to other equipment operators and pedestrians
as required.
Transporting a Load
Figure 4-30 Follow these guidelines when you transport a load:
· Do not speed.
Turning
· Use your horn to warn others of danger.
· Make sure the load is seated firmly against
the load backrest.
· Tilt the mast back.
· Lower the load so the forks are 4 in. to 6 in.
off the ground.
· Be alert to overhead obstructions such as low
doorways, racking, and pipes. Make sure you
know the raised and lowered heights of the
mast.
· Make sure the load is not wider than the
Figure 4-31 width of the gangways or aisles, especially if
you are backing a bulky load down an incline.
Warning
A lateral tip-over can occur if your truck
is improperly operated (See Figure
4-31). Slow down before turning! Fail-
ure to slow down can cause serious in-
jury or death.

4-24
Traveling on Inclines
Warning
Use extra caution when operating on
ramps. Travel slowly and do not turn.
Travel with load uphill. Travel with
empty forks downhill. Failure to follow
these guidelines can cause serious in-
jury or death.
When you travel up or down an incline, follow these
guidelines:
· Make sure the gradient is 12% or less with a
loaded Bendi B40i3 forklift and 15% or less if
you are not carrying a load.
· Always keep the load pointed uphill (See bendi ic load uphill
Figure 4-32). Travel with the forks facing
uphill whether you are going up or down an Figure 4-32 Traveling Uphill
incline. That means you must back down an
incline when you are carrying a load. If vision
is obscured, arrange for a ‘Banksman’ to
guide you.
· If you are not carrying a load, travel with the
forks facing uphill when you are going up the
incline and face the forks downhill when you
are traveling down an incline (See Figure
4-33).
· Never travel across a grade. This can cause
the truck to tip-over laterally and can cause
· Raise the forks as necessary to avoid
damaging the forks or load as the road
surface changes grade at the top or bottom of
an incline. Lower the forks to 4 in. to 6 in. off
the ground when you clear the incline.
Caution bendi ic downhill
Do not roll down inclines with the en- Figure 4-33 Traveling Down an Incline
gine not running. Severe damage to the
hydrostatic drive can occur.
Should the engine stall while traversing an incline,
immediately press hard on the brake pedal to stop
the truck. Put the direction lever in neutral and
restart the engine. Next, shift the direction lever to
the desired direction, depress the drive pedal,
release the brake pedal, and resume travel.

Unloading Your Forklift

Note: Actual minimum aisle width may vary
based upon application (item 5) (See Figure
4-34).
1
Note: The following illustrations show standard S
40 in. x 48 in. (W x L) pallets loaded on a rack
with 96in. beams. The arrow labeled with an ‘S’ 4
shows the direction you must turn the steering 2

wheel.
Follow these steps to store a load:
1. Approach the side of the aisle that is opposite
the area where you will unload the forklift (item
1) (Figure 4-34).
2. For narrow aisles, straighten out the truck so it is
6 in. to 8 in., (item 2) (Figure 4-34), from the 6
edge of the aisle opposite the drop off point. For
wide aisles, straighten out the truck so it is 36 in.
to 48 in. (item 6) (Figure 4-34), from the side of 5
bendi ic unload retrieve 1
the aisle where the load is located.
3. Center the load using the side shift lever. Figure 4-34 Setup - Delivering a Load
4. Drive forward until the center of the load wheels,
(item 3) (Figure 4-34), are aligned with the
center of the rack opening (item 4) (Figure 4-34).
Warning
If the forks or load jam or catch during a
stacking operation, do not attempt to
free them by reaching through the mast.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDELINE S
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
5. Lift the load to the proper height.
6. Stop the forklift and turn the load 90° (turn the
steering wheel counterclockwise) so it points in
the direction you will drop it off (See Figure
4-35).
Note: When you turn the steering wheel with the
truck stopped, do not apply the stop pedal. bendi ic unload 2
Figure 4-35 Load Drop-off

4-26
7. Drive forward and straighten out the load using

the steering wheel so it is square over the stack
(See Figure 4-36).
8. Turn the steering wheel to keep the load straight
as you drive it into the opening (See Figure
4-37).
S
Warning
Be careful that the load does not hit the
side of the rack as it is inserted. You
may have to move the truck forward or
backward to help provide clearance for
the load to swing into the rack.
Also make sure the load is a few inches

above the bottom rail of the rack and
that it does not strike any cross mem-
bers above.

Warning “NO LOAD” POSITION

When you lower the forks to the “no
load” position, make sure you do not
lower the forks too far (See Figure 4-39).
If the forks are lowered too far beyond
the “no load” position, you can damage
the mast, rack, or other containers on
the stack. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
10. Lower the forks until the load sits firmly on the
rack. Continue to lower the forks until they no
longer support the load (‘no load’ position) (See
Figure 4-39).
Warning bendi ic no load
Do not attempt to withdraw the forks Figure 4-39 No-Load Position

until they have been lowered to a “no
load” position.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDELINE

CAN CAUSE THE LOAD TO FALL OFF
THE STACK CAUSING SERIOUS IN-
JURY OR DEATH.
S
Note: Do not tilt the mast back until the forks
clear the pallet.
11. Shift into reverse and slowly back out of the load
as you turn the steering wheel to keep the forks
straight (See Figure 4-40).

12. When the first fork (item 1) (See Figure 4-41)

clears the rack, stop backing and turn the 1
steering wheel to straighten out the forks so they
are parallel with the body of the truck.
13. Lower the forks until they are 4 in. to 6 in. off the
ground and slowly drive the truck to the next
location observing the safety rules previously
stated.
S
Fire Extinguisher Option
If your truck includes a fire
extinguisher it should be inspected
monthly or more frequently if
circumstances dictate. The
extinguisher should be checked to see
that:
· it is not damaged
· the discharge outlet is not
blocked bendi ic unload 6
· it is fully charged
Figure 4-41 Removing the Forks
· the seal is not broken
· the instruction pamphlet is clearly visible
IMPORTANT!
Dry-powder extinguishers are shipped fully
charged. Do not experiment with your extin-
guisher since even a small amount of discharge
could cause it to slowly lose the rest of its pres-
sure, rendering the extinguisher useless.
