ROUGH TERRAIN FORKLIFT TRUCK GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS
STUDY THE OPERATOR/SERVICE MANUALS

The information in this manual provides general instructions for the safe operation and maintenance of your
forklift truck. This information is vital and must be clearly understood by the operator and serviceman. Study
this manual and the Rough Terrain Forklift Safety Manual (part no. 422494) thoroughly and carefully before
operating or servicing your forklift. Contact your dealer or Manitou North America, Inc. if you have any ques-
tions concerning your forklift, its operation, service or parts. Keep both manuals in the literature box on the
forklift available for reference. If either manual becomes illegible or is missing, contact your dealer for replace-
ments immediately. This manual cannot cover every situation that might result in an accident. It is the respon-
sibility of the operator to always remain alert for potential hazards and be prepared to avoid them!
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED LITERATURE:

ANSI / ITSDF B56.6 is the national consensus standard for rough terrain forklift trucks. It contains rules
about forklift safety, maintenance, safe operation, training, and supervision. Forklift owners should learn this
standard and make it available for their operators, service personnel, and supervisors. These standards can
be obtained, free of charge, from the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation (ITSDF) on their
website at www.itsdf.org. The following references are examples from the standard, addressing forklift opera-
tors:
A.) OPERATOR TRAINING QUALIFICATIONS

1.) The user shall ensure that operators understand that safe operation is the operator’s responsibility. The
user shall ensure that operators are knowledgeable of, and observe, all safety rules and practices.
2.) Create an effective operator training program centered around user company’s policies, operating condi-
tions, and rough terrain forklift trucks. The program should be presented completely to all new operators and
not be condensed for those claiming previous experience.
3.) Information on operator training is available from several sources, including rough terrain forklift truck manu-
facturers, users, government agencies, etc.
4.) An operator training program should consist of the following:
a.) careful selection of the operator, considering physical qualifications, job attitude, and aptitude;
b.) emphasis on safety of stock, equipment, operator, and other personnel;
c.) citing of rules and why they were formulated;
d.) basic fundamentals of rough terrain forklift truck and component design as related to safety, e.g.,
in.-lb (N-m) loading, mechanical limitations, center of gravity, stability, etc.;
e.) introduction to equipment, control locations, and functions. Explain how they work when used
properly and problems when used improperly.
f.) supervise practice on operating course remote from normal activity and designed to simulate
actual operations, e.g., lumber stacking, elevating shingles to the roof, etc.;
g.) oral, written, and operational performance tests and evaluations during and at completion of the
course;
h.) refresher courses, which may be condensed versions of the primary
course, and periodic “on job” operator evaluation;
i.) understanding of nameplate data and operator instructions and warning information appearing on
the rough terrain forklift truck.
B.) GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES

1.) Rough terrain forklift trucks can cause injury if improperly used or maintained.
2.) Only authorized operators trained to adhere strictly to all operating instructions shall be permitted to operate
rough terrain forklift trucks. Unusual operating conditions may require additional safety precautions, training,
and special operating instructions.
3.) Modifications and additions which affect capacity or safe operation shall not be preformed without the man-
ufacturer’s prior written approval. Where such authorization is granted, capacity, operation, and maintenance
instruction plates, tags, or decals shall be changed accordingly.
4.) If the rough terrain forklift truck is equipped with front end attachment(s) or optional forks, the user shall see
that the truck is marked to identify the forks or attachment(s), show the approximate weight of the truck and
fork or attachment combination, and show the capacity of the truck with forks or attachment(s) at maximum
elevation with load laterally centered.
5.) The user shall see that all nameplates and caution and instruction markings are in place and legible.
6.) The user shall consider that changes in load dimension may affect rough terrain forklift truck capacity.

ROUGH TERRAIN FORKLIFT TRUCK GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS (cont.)
B.) GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES (cont.)

7.) Where steering can be accomplished with either hand and the steering mechanism is of a type that prevents
road reactions from causing the handwheel to spin (power steering or equivalent), steering knobs may be used.
When used, steering knobs shall be of a type that can be engaged by the operator’s hand from the top and
shall be within the periphery of the steering handwheel.
8.) Experience has shown that rough terrain forklift trucks which comply with stability requirements are stable
when properly operated. However, improper operation, faulty maintenance, or poor housekeeping may con-
tribute to a condition of instability and defeat the purpose of the requirements.
9.) Users shall give consideration to special operating conditions. The amount of forward and rearward tilt to
be used is governed by the application. Although the use of maximum rearward tilt is allowable under certain
conditions, such as traveling with the load lowered, the stability of a rough terrain forklift truck as determined
by standardized tests does not encompass consideration for excessive tilt at high elevations or the operation
of trucks with excessive off-center loads.
10.) Some of the conditions which may affect stability are ground and floor conditions, grade, speed, loading
(rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with attachments behave as partially loaded trucks even when operated
without a load on the attachment), dynamic and static forces, improper tire inflation, and the judgement exer-
cised by the operator.
C.) OPERATING SAFETY RULES AND PRACTICES

1.) Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator.
2.) This equipment can be dangerous if not used properly. The operator shall develop safe working habits and
also be aware of hazardous conditions in order to protect himself, other personnel, the rough terrain forklift
truck, and other material.
3.) The operator shall be familiar with the operation and function of all controls and instruments before under-
taking to operate the rough terrain forklift truck.
4.) Before operating any rough terrain forklift truck, truck operators shall have read and be familiar with the
operator’s manual for the particular truck being operated.
5.) Before starting to operate the rough terrain forklift truck:
a.) be in operating position and fasten seat belt;
b.) place directional controls in neutral;
c.) apply brakes;
d.) start engine.
6.) Do not start or operate the rough terrain forklift truck, any of its functions, or attachments from any place
other than the designated operator’s position.
7.) Keep hands and feet inside the operator’s designated area or compartment. Do not put any part of the
body outside the operator compartment of the rough terrain forklift truck.
8.) Never put any part of the body into the mast structure or between the mast and the rough terrain forklift
truck.
9.) Never put any part of the body within the reach mechanism of the rough terrain forklift truck or other attach-
ments.
10.) Understand rough terrain forklift limitations and operate the truck in a safe manner so as not to cause
injury to personnel.
11.) Do not allow anyone to stand or pass under the elevated portion of any rough terrain forklift truck, whether
empty or loaded.
12.) Do not permit passengers to ride on rough terrain forklift trucks.
13.) Check clearance carefully before driving under electrical lines, bridges, etc.
14.) A rough terrain forklift truck is attended when the operator is less than 25 ft (7.6m) from the truck, which
remains in his view.
15.) A rough terrain forklift truck is unattended when the operator is 25ft (7.6m) or more from the truck, which
remains in his view, or whenever the operator leaves the truck and it is not in his view.
16.) Before leaving the operator’s position:
a.) bring rough terrain forklift truck to a complete stop;
b.) place directional controls in neutral;
c.) apply the parking brake;
d.) lower load-engaging means fully, unless supporting an occupied elevated platform;
e.) stop the engine;
f.) if the rough terrain forklift truck must be left on an incline, block the wheels;
g.) fully lower the load-engaging means.
17.) Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms, and other similar working surfaces.
18.) Do no move railroad cars or trailer with a rough terrain forklift truck.
III
CONTENTS
C.) OPERATING SAFETY RULES AND PRACTICES (cont.)

19.) Do not use a rough terrain forklift truck for opening or closing railroad car doors.
20.) In areas classified as hazardous, use only rough terrain forklift trucks approved for use in those areas.
21.) Report all accidents involving personnel, building structures, and equipment to the supervisor or as
directed.
22.) Do not add to, or modify, the rough terrain forklift truck.
23.) Do not block access to fire aisles, stairways, and fire equipment.
24.) For rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with a differential lock, the lock should not be engaged when
driving on the road or at high speeds or when turning. If the lock is engaged when turning, there could be loss
of steering control.
25.) Observe all traffic regulations including authorized speed limits. Under normal traffic conditions, keep to
the right, maintain a safe distance, based on speed of travel, from the truck ahead; and keep the truck under
control at all times.
26.) Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks.
27.) Do not pass another truck traveling in the same direction at intersections, blind spots, or at other danger-
ous locations.
28.) Slow down and sound the audible warning device(s) at cross-aisles and other locations where vision is
obstructed.
29.) Cross railroad tracks at an angle wherever possible. Do not park closer than 6 ft (1.8m) to the nearest
rail of a railroad track.
30.) Keep a clear view of the path of travel and observe other traffic, personnel, and safe clearances.
31.) If the load being carried obstructs forward view, travel with the load trailing.
32.) Ascend or descend grades slowly and with caution.
a.) When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5%, loaded rough terrain forklift trucks
should be driven with the load upgrade.
b.) Unloaded rough terrain forklift trucks should be operated on all grades with the load-engaging
means downgrade.
c.) On all grades, the load and load-engaging means shall be tilted back, if applicable, and raised
only as far as necessary to clear the road surface.
d.) Avoid turning, if possible, and use extreme caution on grades, ramps, or inclines; normally
travel straight up or down.
33.) Under all travel conditions, operate the rough terrain forklift truck at a speed that will permit it to be brought
to a stop in a safe manner.
34.) Travel with load-engaging means or load low and, where possible, tilted back. Do not elevate the load
except during stacking.
35.) Make starts, stops, turns, or direction reversals in a smooth manner so as not to shift load and/or overturn
the rough terrain forklift truck.
36.) Do not indulge in stunt driving or horseplay.
37.) Slow down for wet and slippery surfaces.
38.) Before driving over a dockboard or bridge plate, be sure that it is properly secured. Drive carefully and
slowly across the dockboard or bridge plate, and never exceed its rated capacity.
39.) Do not drive rough terrain forklift trucks onto any elevator unless specifically authorized to do so. Approach
elevators slowly, and then enter squarely after the elevator car is properly leveled. Once on the elevator, neu-
tralize the controls, shut off engine, and set brakes. It is advisable that all other personnel leave the elevator
before truck is allowed to enter or leave.
40.) Avoid running over loose objects on the roadway surface.
41.) When negotiating turns, reduce speed to a safe level, and turn steering handwheel in a smooth sweep-
ing motion. Except when maneuvering at a very low speed, turn the steering handwheel at a moderate, even
rate.
42.) Use special care when traveling without load, as the risk of lateral overturning is greater.
43.) Improper use of stabilizer controls (if so equipped) could cause rough terrain forklift truck upset. Always
lower the carriage before operating stabilizer controls.
44.) For rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with lateral leveling:
a.) Always level the frame before raising the boom or mast, with or without a load.
b.) Lateral leveling should not be used to position an elevated load; instead, lower the load and
reposition the rough terrain forklift truck.
45.) Handle only stable or safely arranged loads.
a.) When handling off-center loads which cannot be centered, operate with extra caution.
b.) Handle only loads within the capacity of the rough terrain forklift truck.
c.) Handle loads exceeding the dimensions used to establish rough terrain forklift truck capacity

with extra caution. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected.
C.) OPERATING SAFETY RULES AND PRACTICES (cont.)

46.) When attachments are used, extra care shall be taken in securing, manipulating, positioning, and trans-
porting the load. Operate rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with attachments as partially loaded trucks
when not handling a load.
47.) Completely engage the load with the load-engaging means. Fork length should be at least two-thirds of
load length. Where tilt is provided, carefully tilt the load backward to stabilize the load. Caution should be
used in tilting backward with high or segmented loads.
48.) Use extreme care when tilting load forward or backward, particularly when high tiering. Do not tilt forward
with load-engaging means elevated except to pick up or deposit a load over a rack or stack. When stacking
or tiering, use only enough backward tilt to stabilize the load.
49.) The handling of suspended loads by means of a crane arm (boom) or other device can introduce dynamic
forces affecting the stability of a rough terrain forklift truck. Grades and sudden starts, stops, and turns can
cause the load to swing and create a hazard if not externally stabilized. When handling suspended loads:
a.) do not exceed the truck manufacturer’s capacity of the rough terrain forklift truck as equipped
for handling suspended loads.
b.) only lift the load vertically and never drag it horizontally;
c.) transport the load with the bottom of the load and the mast as low as possible;
d.) with load elevated, maneuver the rough terrain forklift truck slowly and cautiously, and only to
the extent necessary to permit lowering to the transport position;
e.) use tag lines to restrain load swing whenever possible.
50.) At the beginning of each shift and before operating the rough terrain forklift truck, check its condition,
giving special attention to:
a.) tires and their inflation pressure
b.) warning devices
c.) lights
d.) lift and tilt systems, load-engaging means, chains, cables, and limit switches
e.) brakes
f.) steering mechanism
g.) fuel system(s)
51.) If the rough terrain forklift truck is found to be in need of repair or in any way unsafe, or if it contributes to
an unsafe condition, the matter shall be reported immediately to the user’s designated authority, and the truck
shall not be operated until it has been restored to safe operating condition.
52.) If during operation the rough terrain forklift truck becomes unsafe in any way, the matter shall be reported
immediately to the user’s designated authority, and the truck shall not be operated until it has been restored
to safe operating condition.
53.) Do not make repairs or adjustments unless specifically authorized to do so.
54.) When refueling, smoking in the area shall not be permitted, the engine shall be stopped, and the operator
shall not be on the rough terrain forklift
truck.
55.) Spillage of oil or fuel shall be carefully and completely absorbed or evaporated and fuel tank cap replaced
before restarting engine.
56.) Do not use open flames when checking electrolyte level in storage batteries, liquid level in fuel tanks, or
the condition of LPG fuel lines and connectors.
57.) Do not lift personnel with the forklift. If the forklift must be used to lift people, precautions for the protection
of the personnel must be taken (see ITSDF B56.6, chapter 5.15 Elevating Personnel).
V
D.) SUSPENDED LOADS

A jib or truss boom should ONLY be used to lift and place loads when the machine is stationary and the frame
is level. Transporting suspended loads must ALWAYS be done slowly and cautiously, with the boom and load
as low as possible. Use taglines to restrict loads from swinging, to avoid overturn.
The handling of suspended loads by means of a truss boom or other similar device can introduce dynamic
forces affecting the stability of the machine that are not considered in the stability criteria of industry test
standards. Grades and sudden starts, stops and turns can cause the load to swing and create a hazard.
Guidelines for “Free Rigging / Suspended Loads”
1. DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the telescopic handler as equipped for handling suspended
loads. The weight of the rigging must be included as part of the load.
2. During transport, DO NOT raise the load more than 12 inches (305 mm) above the ground, or raise
the boom more than 45 degrees.
3. Only lift the load vertically – NEVER drag it horizontally.
4. Use multiple pickup points on the load when possible. Use taglines to restrain the load from swinging
and rotating.
5. Start, travel, turn and stop SLOWLY to prevent the load from swinging. DO NOT exceed walking
speed.
6. Inspect rigging before use. Rigging must be in good condition and in the U.S. comply with OSHA
regulation §1910.184, “Slings,” or §1926.251, “Rigging equipment for material handling.”
7. Rigging equipment attached to the forks must be secured such that it cannot move either sideways or
fore and aft. The load center must not exceed 24 inches (610 mm).
8. DO NOT lift the load with anyone on the load, rigging or lift equipment, and NEVER lift the load over
personnel.
9. Beware of the wind, which can cause suspended loads to swing, even with taglines.
10. DO NOT attempt to use frame-leveling to compensate for load swing.
WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations effective November 8, 2010 (29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart CC - Cranes and Derricks in
Construction) include requirements for employers that use powered industrial trucks ("forklifts") configured
to hoist (by means of a winch or hook) and move suspended loads horizontally. In particular, this regulation
applies to any rough-terrain forklift (e.g., "telescopic handler") equipped with a jib or truss boom with a
hook (with or without a winch), or a hook assembly attached to the forks. [Note: This regulation is in
addition to the OSHA regulation that requires specific forklift operator training: §1910.178(l).]
When a forklift / telescopic handler is configured and used for hoisting, the employer must ensure that:
1. Forklift, lift equipment and rigging have been inspected (each shift, month and year) and are in
good, safe condition and properly installed.
2. An operator's manual and applicable load charts are on the forklift.
3. Work zone ground conditions can support the equipment and load. Any hazardous conditions in the
work area have been identified, and the operator notified.
4. Equipment is being used within its rated capacity and in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
VI
5. Operator and crew members have been trained in the safe use and operation of the equipment,
including how to avoid electrocution.
6. During use, no part of the equipment, load line or load will be within the minimum clearance
distance specified by OSHA [10 feet (3.0 m), and more for lines rated over 50 kV] of any energized
power line, and any taglines used are non-conductive.
7. In addition, for lift equipment with a rated capacity greater than 2000 lbs. (907 kg), the employer
must ensure that:
a.) An accessible fire extinguisher is on the forklift;
b.) Monthly and annual inspections are performed and documented, and records retained (three
months for monthly, one year for annual);
c.) Before November 10, 2014, operators must have had the additional training and qualification /
certification required by OSHA regulations §1926.1427 and §1926.1430.
Note: Refer to the full text of the OSHA crane regulation (29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart CC) for a detailed
description
VII
CONCLUSION:
1.) ATTEND OPERATOR TRAINING CLASSES

The forklift operator must clearly understand all instructions concerning the safe operation of the forklift and all
safety rules and regulations of the work site. They must have successfully completed a training coarse in
accordance with the Powered Industrial Truck Standard (29 CFR 1910.178) as described by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). They must be qualified as to their visual, hearing, physical, and
mental ability to operate the equipment safely. NEVER use drugs or alcohol while operating a forklift! NEVER
operate or allow anyone to operate a forklift when mental alertness or coordination is impaired! An operator
on prescription or over-the-counter drugs must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the
medication that may impair their ability to safely operate the forklift.
2.) CREATE A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

OSHA recommends a maintenance log, listing repairs requested and completed, for each forklift. Also, “lock
out tag procedures” should be utilized. If the forklift malfunctions; park it safely, remove the key, tag “Do Not
Use”, and report the problem to the proper authority or authorized service personnel immediately.
2.) CREATE A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (cont.)

For the best forklift performance and operation, a maintenance program is required. Use the hour meter on
the instrument panel to keep maintenance properly scheduled (see SECTION TWO - “Servicing Schedule”).
For repairs on major components (engine, transmission, etc.), contact your nearest dealer for a Repair Manual.
Do not operate a forklift that is damaged or does not function properly. Only authorized personnel may make
repairs or adjustments to the lift truck. After repairs, the lift truck must be tested for safe operation before
returning to service.
3.) FORKLIFT KNOWLEDGE

Forklift trucks can cause serious injury if improperly used or maintained. Study all of the manuals provided for
your forklift model. Learn the locations and meanings of all safety decals. If any decals are illegible or miss-
ing, have them replaced immediately. Make sure all safety features provided by the original manufacturer are
in place and function properly. Do not operate a forklift with damaged, missing or unsafe components. Have
it repaired by authorized service personnel. Learn the functions of all controls, gauges, indicator lights, etc. on
the forklift. Know the speed/gear ranges, braking and steering capabilities, load ratings and clearances. When
referring to the location of forklift components, the terms “left”, “right”, “front”, and “rear” are related to the oper-
ator seated normally, facing forward in the operator’s seat. If you have any questions about the forklift, con-
sult your supervisor. Failure to fully understand or obey safety warnings can result in serious injury or death!
4.) WORK SITE KNOWLEDGE

Before operating on a work site, learn the rules for movement of people, forklifts and all other traffic. Check
the size, weight, and condition of the loads you will be expected to handle. Verify that they are properly
secured and safe to transport. Learn where the loads are to be placed, planning your route for a safe
approach, watching for hazardous conditions. Will a signal man be required to help place the load? Remove
any debris which may cause tire damage or rupture. Plan your route around problem areas or have them cor-
rected. Inform the supervisor of any unsafe conditions observed at the site. Examples of hazards: power
lines, cables, low clearance structures, garage doors, telephone pole guide lines, fencing, loose lumber, build-
ing materials, drop-offs, trenches, rough/soft spots, oil spills, deep mud, steep inclines, railroad tracks, curbs,
etc.. NEVER approach power lines, gas lines or other utilities with the forklift! Always verify that local,
state/provincial and federal regulations have been met. Report any accidents involving personnel, building
structures, and equipment to the supervisor immediately. Always remain alert - conditions are constantly
changing at the work site!
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
All data provided in this manual is subject to production changes, addition of new models, and improved prod-
uct designs. If a question arises regarding your forklift, please consult your dealer or K-D Manitou, Inc. for the
latest information. When ordering service parts or requesting technical information, be prepared to quote the
applicable Model/Serial Numbers.

CONTENTS
SAFETY DECALS
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to the safety messages, decals, and nameplates found on
your forklift truck. The decals are identified by name, part number, location, and a brief description. (The
forklift model logos, and other misc. decals not shown, can be found in your forklift parts manual.) The
decals illustrated may not be exactly the same as those installed on your forklift; installation of the decals
varies depending on the forklift model, series, decal updates, etc.. The size and location of some decals
limit the amount of information that can be placed upon it. For this reason, additional detailed information
not found on the decals is provided through-out this manual.
Every decal placed on the lift truck is important; they are constant reminders of safety and instructions that
should never be taken for granted. Even experienced operators can be seriously injured or killed by ignor-
ing, refusing to enforce, or forgetting to follow safe operating procedures! Do not assume you know all
safety issues concerning the decals. Before operating the lift truck; learn the meaning(s) of the decals as
described in this manual. If any decal becomes illegible or missing, have it replaced immediately! Always
replace decals using the same decal part no., unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. For replace-
ment decals not found in your parts manual, contact your nearest dealer. If you have any questions, contact
your supervisor or nearest dealer for advice before operating your forklift!

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMPANY MANAGER
THE OPERATOR
- Only qualified, authorized personnel can use the lift truck. This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate person in the
establishment with respect to the use of lift trucks and must be carried permanently by the operator.
WARNING
On the basis of experience, there are a number of possible situations in which operating the lift truck is prohibited. Such fore-
seeable abnormal uses, the main ones being listed below, are strictly forbidden.
- The foreseeable abnormal behavior of neglect, but not intending to put the machinery to any improper use.
- The reflex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. During operation of the lift truck.
- Behavior resulting from application of the “principle of least action” when performing a task.
- For certain machines, the foreseeable behavior of such persons as unauthorized: apprentices, teenagers, handicapped
persons and trainees tempted to drive a lift truck. Truck drivers tempted to operate a truck to win a bet, in competition or for
their own personal experience.
The person in charge of the equipment must take these criteria into account when assessing whether or not a person will
make a suitable driver.
THE LIFT TRUCK

A - THE LIFT TRUCK’S SUITABILITY FOR THE JOB
- MANITOU has ensured that this lift truck is suitable for use under the standard operating conditions defined in this operator’s
manual, with a STATIC TEST COEFFICIENT OF 1.33 and a DYNAMIC TEST COEFFICIENT OF 1, as specified in harmonized norm
EN 1726-1 for mast trucks.
- Before commissioning, the company manager must make sure that the lift truck is appropriate for the work to be done, and
perform certain tests (in accordance with current legislation).
B - ADAPTATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK TO STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

- In addition to series equipment mounted on your lift truck, many options are available, such as: road lighting, stop lights, flashing
light, reverse lights, reverse buzzer alarm, front light, rear light, etc.
- The operator must take into account the operating conditions to define the lift truck’s signalling and lighting equipment. Contact
your dealer.
- Take into account climatic and atmospheric conditions of the site of utilization.
. Protection against frost (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL).
. Adaptation of lubricants (ask your dealer for information).
. I.C. engine filtration (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: FILTERS CARTRIDGES AND BELTS).
For operation under average climatic conditions, i.e. between -15 °C and + 35 °C (5° to 95°F), correct
levels of lubricants in all the circuits are provided in production. For operation under more severe climatic
IMPORTANT conditions, before starting up, it is necessary to drain all the circuits, then add the correct levels of lubri-
cants properly suited to the relevant ambient temperatures. It is the same for the cooling fluid (Contact
your dealer for information, if necessary).
- A lift truck operating in an area without fire extinguishing equipment must be equipped with an individual extinguisher. There are
solutions, consult your dealer.
Your lift truck is designed for outdoor use under normal atmospheric conditions and indoor use in suitably aerated and ventilated
premises. It is prohibited to use the lift truck in areas where there is a risk of fire or which are potentially explosive (i.e. refineries,
WARNING fuel or gas depots, stores of inflammable products…). For use in these areas, specific equipment is available (ask your dealer for
information).
- Our trucks comply with Directive 89/336/EC concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and with the corresponding harmonized
norm EN 12895. Their proper operation is no longer guaranteed if they are used within areas in which the electromagnetic fields
exceed the limit specified by that norm (10 V/m).
- Directive 2002/44/EC requires company managers to not expose their employees to excessive vibration doses. There is no
recognized code of measurement for comparing the machines of different manufacturers. The actual doses received can therefore
be measured only under actual operating conditions at the user’s premises.
- The following are some tips for minimizing these vibration doses:
• Select the most suitable lift truck and attachment for the intended use.
• Adapt the seat adjustment to the operator’s weight (according to lift truck model) and maintain it in good condition, as
well as the cab suspension. Inflate the tires in accordance with recommendations.
• Ensure that the operators adapt their operating speed to suit the conditions on site.
• As far as possible, arrange the site in such a way as to provide a flat running surface and remove obstacles and harmful
potholes.

- During handling operations, make sure that no one is in the way of the lift truck and its load.
- Do not allow anybody to come near the working area of the lift truck or pass beneath an elevated load.
- When using the lift truck on a transverse slope, before lifting the mast, follow the instructions given in the paragraph: INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HANDLING A LOAD: C - TRANSVERSE ATTITUDE OF THE LIFT TRUCK.
- Traveling on a longitudinal slope:
• Drive and brake gently.
• Moving without load: Forks or attachment facing downhill.
• Moving with load: Forks or attachment facing uphill.

- Take into account the lift truck’s dimensions and its load before trying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked:
• That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (tractor, truck, etc.) will not shift.
• That this platform is prescribed for the total weight of the lift truck to be loaded.
• That this platform is prescribed for the size of the lift truck.
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the weight and size of the lift
truck to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft ground and manholes.
- Make sure the ground is stable and firm under the wheels before lifting the load.
- Make sure that the scaffolding, loading platform, pilings or ground is capable of bearing the load.
- Never stack loads on uneven ground, they may tip over.
- The load or the attachment must not be left just above a structure for long periods at a time because of the descending mast. In
such a case, a constant watch must be kept and the height of the forks or the attachment readjusted if necessary.
- When working near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the lift truck and the
aerial line.
You must consult your local electrical agency. You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the lift truck too
DANGER close to power lines.
DANGER During high winds do not attempt moving loads that may catch the wind or cause the fork lift to be unstable.
D - VISIBILITY
- The safety of people within the lift truck’s working area, as well as that of the lift truck itself and the operator are dependent on
good operator visibility of the lift truck’s immediate vicinity in all situations and at all times.
- This lift truck has been designed to allow good operator visibility (direct or indirect by means of rear-view mirrors) of the immediate
vicinity of the lift truck while traveling with no load and with the mast in the transport position.
- Special precautions must be taken if the size of the load restricts visibility towards the front:
- moving in reverse,
- site layout,
- assisted by a person directing the maneuver (while standing outside the truck’s area of travel), making sure to keep this
person clearly in view at all times,
- in any case, avoid reversing over long distances.
- If visibility of your road is inadequate, ask someone to assist by directing the maneuver (while standing outside the truck’s area
of travel), making sure to keep this person clearly in view at all times.
- Keep all components affecting visibility in a clean, properly adjusted state and in good working order (e.g. windscreens, windows,
windscreen wipers, windscreen washers, driving and work lights, rear-view mirrors).

- In all circumstances make sure you are in control of your speed.
- On damp, slippery or uneven terrain, drive slowly.
- Brake gently, never abruptly.
- Only use the lift truck’s forward/reverse selector from a stationary position and never do so abruptly.
- Do not drive with your foot on the brake pedal.
- Always remember that hydrostatic type steering is extremely sensitive to movement of the steering wheel, so turn it gently and
not abruptly.
- Never leave the I.C. engine on when the lift truck is unattended.
- Do not leave the cab when the lift truck has a raised load.
- Look where you are going and always make sure you have good visibility along the route.
1-10
CONTENTS
- Use the rear-view mirrors frequently.

- Drive around obstacles.
- Never drive on the edge of a ditch or steep slope.
- It is dangerous to use two lift trucks simultaneously to handle heavy or large loads, since this operation requires particular
precautions to be taken. It must only be used exceptionally and after risk analysis.
- The ignition switch has an emergency stop mechanism in case of an operating anomaly occurring in the case of lift trucks not
fitted with a punch-operated cut-out.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Always drive the lift truck with the forks or attachment to the transport position, i.e. at 12 in. from the ground and the carriage
sloping backwards.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, use the recommended gear (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Release the parking brake.
- Shift the forward/reverse selector to the selected direction of travel and accelerate gradually until the lift truck moves off.
G - STOPPING THE LIFT TRUCK

SAFETY NOTICE
- Never leave the ignition key in the lift truck during the operator’s absence.
- When the lift truck is stationary, or if the operator has to leave his cab (even for a moment), place the forks or attachment on the
ground, apply the parking brake and put the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Make sure that the lift truck is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at least six feet from the
track of a railway.
- In the event of prolonged parking on a site, protect the lift truck from bad weather, particularly from frost (check the level of
antifreeze), close and lock all the lift truck accesses (doors, windows, cowls…).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Park the lift truck on flat ground or on an incline less than 15 %.
- Place the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Apply the parking brake.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, place the gear lever in neutral.
- Lower the forks or attachment to rest on the ground.
- When using an attachment with a grab or jaws, or a bucket with hydraulic opening, close the attachment fully.
- Before stopping the lift truck after a long working period, leave the I.C. engine idling for a few moments, to allow the coolant liquid
and oil to lower the temperature of the I.C. engine and transmission. Do not forget this precaution, in the event of frequent stops
or warm stalling of the I.C. engine, or else the temperature of certain parts will rise significantly due to the stopping of the cooling
system, with the risk of badly damaging such parts.
- Stop the I.C. engine with the ignition switch.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Lock all the accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls…).
- For lift trucks operating on gas carburization, shut the LPG bottle. For a long lasting stop, let the engine stop naturally by shutting
the LPG bottle before switching off the ignition, so as to eliminate all the fuel in the feed tube.

- Read the operator’s manual carefully.
- Carry out all repairs immediately, even if the repairs concerned are minor.
- Repair all leaks immediately, even if the leak concerned is minor.
- Make sure that the disposal of process materials and of spare parts is carried out in total safety and in a ecological way.
- Beware of the risk of burning and splashing (exhaust, radiator, I.C. engine, etc.).
MAINTENANCE
- Perform the periodic service (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE) to keep your lift truck in good working conditions. Failure to perform the
periodic service may cancel the contractual guarantee.
MAINTENANCE LOGBOOK
- The maintenance operations carried out in accordance with the recommendations given in part: 3 - MAINTENANCE and the other
inspection, servicing or repair operations or modifications performed on the lift truck or its attachments shall be recorded in a
maintenance logbook. The entry for each operation shall include details of the date of the works, the names of the individuals or
companies having performed them, the type of operation and its frequency, if applicable. The part numbers of any lift truck items
replaced shall also be indicated.
LUBRICANT AND FUEL LEVELS

- Use the recommended lubricants (never use contaminated lubricants).
- Do not fill the fuel tank when the I.C. engine is running.
- Only fill up the fuel tank in areas specified for this purpose.
- Do not fill the fuel tank to the maximum level.
- Do not smoke or approach the lift truck with a flame, when the fuel tank is open or is being filled.
HYDRAULIC
- Any work on the load handling hydraulic circuit is forbidden except for the operations described in part: 3 - MAINTENANCE.
- Do not attempt to loosen unions, hoses or any hydraulic component with the circuit under pressure.
WARNING BALANCING VALVE : It is dangerous to change the setting or remove the balancing valves or safety valves which may be fitted to your
lift truck cylinders. These operations must only be performed by approved personnel (consult your dealer).
WARNING The HYDRAULIC ACCUMULATORS which may be fitted on your lift truck, are under high pressure, it is dangerous to dismantle them.
This operation must only be performed by approved personnel (consult your dealer).
ELECTRICITY
Do not short-circuit the starter relay to start the lift truck. If the forward/reverse gear is not in neutral, the
DANGER lift truck will start to move immediately!
- Do not drop metallic items on the battery.

- Disconnect the battery before working on the electrical circuit.
1-16
CONTENTS
WELDING
- Disconnect the battery before any welding operations on the lift truck.
- When carrying out electric welding work on the lift truck, connect the negative cable from the equipment directly to the part being
welded, so as to avoid high tension current passing through the alternator.
- Never carry out welding or work which gives off heat on an assembled tire. The heat would increase the pressure which could
cause the tire to explode.
- If the lift truck is equipped with an electronic control unit, disconnect this before starting to weld, to avoid the risk of causing
irreparable damage to electronic components.
WASHING THE LIFT TRUCK

- Clean the lift truck or at least the area concerned before any intervention.
- Remember to close and lock all accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls…).
- During washing, avoid the articulations and electrical components and connections.
- If necessary, protect against penetration of water, steam or cleaning agents, components susceptible of being damaged,
particularly electrical components and connections and the injection pump.
- Clean the lift truck of any fuel, oil or grease trace.
FOR ANY INTERVENTION OTHER THAN REGULAR MAINTENANCE, CONSULT YOUR DEALER.

- Replace the I.C. engine oil and oil filter (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: D - EVERY 500 HOURS SERVICE).
- Add a protective product to the engine oil.
- Run the I.C. engine for a short time so that the oil and cooling liquid circulate inside.
- Disconnect the battery and store it in a safe place away from the cold, after charging it to a maximum.
- Remove the injectors and spray a protective product into each cylinder for two seconds with the piston in low neutral position.
- Turn the crankshaft once slowly and install the injectors (see I.C. engine REPAIR MANUAL).
- Remove the intake hose from the manifold or turbocharger and spray a protective product into the manifold or turbocharger.
- Cap the intake manifold or turbocharger hole with waterproof adhesive tape.
- Remove the exhaust pipe and spray a protective product into the exhaust manifold or turbocharger.
- Install the exhaust pipe and block the outlet with waterproof adhesive tape.
NOTE: The spray time is noted on the product packaging and must be increased by 50 % for turbo engines.
- Open the filler plug, spray a protective product around the rocker arm shaft and install the filler plug.

8 - ACCELERATOR PEDAL
9 - SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL AND TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF

This pedal operates in two steps:
- First, the pedal acts upon a hydraulic valve which progressively cuts off the hydrostatic transmission so as to carry out a slow
approach with all the I.C. engine output.
- Then, the pedal acts upon a hydraulic valve which progressively makes the pressure in the brakes drop so as to immobilize the
lift truck.

3 - engage forward or reverse movement.
To stop the lift truck, he must observe the following sequence:
1 - Set the forward/reverse selector to neutral,
2 - engage the parking brake,
3 - get out of the lift truck.
NOTE: If the operator leaves the driving cab with forward or reverse engaged, a continuous alarm will sound. While this alarm
sounds, the operator can simply sit back in the seat and continue advancing or reversing.
If the alarm becomes discontinuous, the operator must sit back in the seat, put the forward/reverse selector back in
neutral and select forward or reverse if he wishes to continue moving.

TOWING PIN AND HOOK
Located at the rear of the lift truck, this device is used to attach a trailer. Its capacity is limited for each lift truck by the authorized
gross vehicle weight, tractive effort and maximum vertical force on the coupling point. This information is given on the manufacturer’s
plate fixed to each lift truck (see : 2 - DESCRIPTION : IDENTIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK).
- To use a trailer, see current regulations in your country (maximum running speed, braking, maximum weight of trailer, etc.).
- Verify the trailer’s condition before using it (tire condition and pressures, electrical connection, hydraulic hose, braking
system…).
Do not tow a trailer or accessory which is not in proper working order. Using a trailer in poor condition may effect the lift truck’s
WARNING
steering and braking, and safety.
If a third party helps in coupling or uncoupling the trailer, they must be continually visible to the driver until the lift truck is parked and
