INTRODUCTION
Thank you for the acquisition of your new Bomaq B30 MP, we
really hope this unit will cover all your expectations, and will
help you to carry out all the jobs you may need in your lifting
activity.
Throughout this Operator's Manual, you will discover all the
aspects related with the operation of this unit. In case you don't
find the information you need, you can contact us, and we will
immediately send you the required information.
Please, take your time to read and understand this Manual
before operating the unit, to be able to do it in a safe way.
All the measures and weights expressed in this manual are in
the metric system. If needed, ask for a different system to our
after-sales department.
MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
All our units are identified by a code, located on the plate on the
left side of the driver, inside the cabin.
This code is composed of several sections, which indicate model,
version and production counter.
In this case for example, we have B30-B-26-0714:
B30 is the model
B is the version of machine
26 is the counter for production
0714 is month/year of assembly init: July 2014
If you need support or parts allocation, you must write down
this code, and include it in any inquiry, so we are sure you are
taking the appropriate support or parts for your unit.
On the other hand, there is a plate indicating the model, weight
and mast type & height, to identify the machine model and
lifting capacity. In this plate you'll find also information about
maximum weight capacities.
The forklift has another serial number stamped on the mast. It is
located in the front profiles, and it is also important when asking
for parts of the mast (rollers, chains, ...).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
This forklift has been designed in accordance with the provisions
of section 1.1.2 “Principles of safety integration” of point 1
“Essential health and safety requirements” of annex I of
Directive 2006/42/EC on the approximation of the laws of
Member states relating to machinery.
Most accidents involving forklifts and their maintenance or
repair are the result of not complying with the most basic safety
precautions.
It is therefore necessary to always be aware of potential risks
that could arise as a result of operating the forklifts, paying
constant attention to the effects that each action performed
could have.
Being aware of potentially dangerous situations could
prevent an accident.
CONDITIONS TO BE MET BY OPERATORS
The person that usually operates the forklift must meet the
following conditions:
Medical:
Before operating the forklift and during operation, the operator
must not consume alcoholic beverages, drugs or any other
substances that could impair his or her psychological and
physical condition and consequently the ability to drive the
forklift.
Physical:
The operator must have good eyesight, good hearing, good
coordination and the ability to safely perform the functions
needed to operate the forklift as specified in this manual.
Mental:
The ability to understand and apply established safety
standards, rules and precautions; the operator must be alert and
use good judgment for his or her own safety and that of others
and the operator must make every effort to do the work
correctly and responsibly.
4/34 BOMAQ I DUSTRIES SLU MODEL BXX MP

Operator's Manual Rev. BXXMP.01 January 2020
Trainin :
The operator must have carefully read and studied this manual,
the attached charts and diagrams and the warning and hazard
stickers; he or she must be specialized and competent in all
aspects regarding operation and use of the forklift. In many
countries training and licensing must conform and local
authority requirements.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Although BOMAQ I DUSTRIES S.L.U. has made every possible
effort to ensure this forklift's safety by way of its design and
manufacture, it considers that residual risks may occur as a
result of the operator's actions during operation.
Some examples are given below:
-Risks due to working or driving too fast for the loading
conditions or the area of operation.
-Risks due to using incorrect methods for checking or replacing a
hydraulic valve (residual pressure not discharged – uncontrolled
movements).
-Risks due to using incorrect methods for disassembling parts,
such as cylinders without having secured moving parts correctly
(risk of the moving part accidentally falling).
-Risks due to the forklift accidentally overturning without the
operator using the seat belt.
NOISE EMISSIONS AND VIBRATIONS
All BOMAQ forklifts have a guaranteed sound power level
according to Directive 2000/14/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the
Member States relating to the noise emission in the
environment by equipment for use outdoors.
In accordance with the provisions of E 12053 and E -ISO 4871,
the emission sound pressure level at the operator's position, for
a complete operational cycle, is below 80 dB.
Noise measurements have been taken under the
following operating conditions: idling, lifting and
movement.
The vibration level to which the operator's body is exposed has
been measured using representative and technically comparable
forklifts as indicated in E 14253:2004, Royal Decree 1311/2005
and Royal Decree 1311/2005 Technical Guidelines in order to
minimize risks for the operator.
These measurements have been taken by an authorized control
body with the forklift in motion and values not exceeding 0.74
have been obtained.
Any arbitrary modification to the forklift causes the sound
power values to vary.
DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY DEVICES
All BOMAQ forklifts have all of the means necessary to
guarantee their safe use.
In designing these forklifts, all possible risks have been taken
into account. As such, covers and guards have been fitted to
protect the operator from any hazards that may be encountered
during operation of the forklift, such as becoming trapped in the
engines and moving parts of the transmission, electrical system,
etc.
If the safety covers and guards are removed (which is only
authori ed during maintenance), they should be refitted
as soon as the repair is completed.
The forklift has an emergency stop button located next to the
hydraulic controls and the corresponding risk indicator
diagrams.
Emer ency stop: the emergency stop is located on the right-
hand side of the operator, next to the hydraulic control joysticks.
It automatically brings the engine to a halt in the event of an
emergency or problem. On those vehicles fitted with a negative
brake, this will come on when the emergency stop button is
pushed.
It is important to remember to release the emergency
stop button after trying to start the engine again,
otherwise you can run out the battery.
5/34 BOMAQ I DUSTRIES SLU MODEL BXX MP

Operator's Manual Rev. BXXMP.01 January 2020
Safety cabin: this robust element protects the driver in the
event of the load falling off of the forks or the forklift
overturning. Type-approved driving cab in compliance with
standards ISO 3449 and E 13510 (ROPS and FOPS).
Fork carria e: this is a rigid element located on the front of the
mast which moves along with the load platform. It increases the
support surface of the loads, preventing them from falling on
top of the operator.
Bonnet: protects the engine from any unauthorized handling.
Chassis: the forklift is totally protected to prevent any contact
with the electrical circuits, tyres, etc.
Acoustic warnin alarm: when the forklift is moving in reverse,
an audible signal is activated.
Seat belt: located on the seat and worn by the operator.
Wearing the seat belt is compulsory to prevent serious
injury in the event of an accident.
Key: locking device that prevents any unauthorized persons
from using the vehicle.
Si nalin beacon: light indicating that the forklift is running. It is
located on top of the rear of the cabin.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The driver of any motorized industrial forklift must be at least 18
years of age and be expressly assigned by the company. They
will also have to be trained and licensed as required by local
authorities.
Make sure that new operators are trained, monitored and
assisted by expert staff who are qualified to operate
forklifts.
Anyone who fails to meet these requirements should not be
allowed to drive a forklift truck, of any type.
The driver must be aware that, in addition to those
accidents that he or she may suffer, the equipment that
they are operating can cause injury to other people if all
of the safety rules are not carefully followed.
It is not the forklift truck in itself that is dangerous but rather the
6/34 BOMAQ I DUSTRIES SLU MODEL BXX MP

Operator's Manual Rev. BXXMP.01 January 2020
way in which it is used. On using this type of equipment, hazards
similar to those present when driving other vehicles may occur:
bumps, impacts, turning over, trapped limbs, etc.
Some safety considerations that must be followed are listed
below:
-Never exceed the forklift's load capacity. Failure to follow this
rule may cause the vehicle to overturn, risking injury to both the
driver and to his or her colleagues. See load diagrams on the
forklift for this purpose.
-Do not, under any circumstances, increase the wei ht of the
counterwei ht by addin additional loads, especially by having
people climb onto the vehicle. If the load capacity of the forklift
is never exceeded, resorting to such tricks will never be
necessary.
-Do not use two forklifts simultaneously to move heavy or very
large loads as this is a dangerous operation that requires very
special precautions. This should only be attempted in
exceptional circumstances and under the supervision of the
head maintenance technician.
-To lift a load safely, fully insert the forks underneath the load,
lift the load slightly and immediately tilt the mast backwards.
-Before drivin , check that the load is balanced and secure on
its support. Whenever the forklift is laden, keep the forks
lowered and with the load tilted back towards the driver. This
will ensure greater stability.
-Before undertaking any maneuver, check that there is nobody
in the immediate vicinity of the forklift, especially when
reversing.
-When raising or lowering the forks, the driver must make sure
his or her hands or feet, or those of any colleague, cannot
become trapped.
-Do not point the forks towards people workin close to walls
or boxes.
-Nobody should stand or walk under the raised forks, even
when the vehicle is unladen.
-Never leave the forklift with a raised load.
7/34 BOMAQ I DUSTRIES SLU MODEL BXX MP

Operator's Manual Rev. BXXMP.01 January 2020
RULES ON DRIVING THE FORKLIFT
-Do not allow yourself to become distracted from the task of
driving.
-Look in the direction in which the vehicle is moving,
maintaining good visibility at all times.
-Drive at a reasonable speed, according to the load.
-Avoid accelerating, changing direction or stopping suddenly.
-Take all turns at a low speed, using the horn to warn anyone
nearby.
-Indicate each maneuver that is to be carried out with sufficient
advance warning.
-Use the horn when approaching bridges, crossroads,
pedestrians, animals, etc.
If the si e of the load prevents good forward visibility, the
driver should proceed in reverse.
-Drive slowly over any wet, slippery or uneven terrain.
-Brake progressively, not sharply.
-Respect the signs and driving rules established by the company.
-Only follow the set routes.
-The forklift truck must not be used to carry passengers. The
driver will be held responsible for any consequences resulting
from failing to obey this rule.
-Do not drive with the load in the raised position since doing so
would greatly decrease the stability of the vehicle. The load
should always be carried in the lowest possible position.
-With platform forklifts, the vehicle should be driven with the
load in front. The platform operator would then not be crushed
in the event of a fall.
-Whenever driving with the vehicle unladen, the forks should be
kept at around 15 cm from the ground.
-Take special care with loads when passing under bridges or
through doorways.
-If it is necessary to drive on slopes, proceed forwards when
going up and in reverse when going down. Do not turn on a
slope.
-Stacks of material should be placed tidily and safely. If stacking
reels, remember that they can roll around. Pay attention to
where they are left and make sure they are secured using
wedges.
-Do not use the forklift to push other vehicles. If it is necessary
to tow another vehicle, this must be done using a rigid bar at a
very low speed.
8/34 BOMAQ I DUSTRIES SLU MODEL BXX MP

Operator's Manual Rev. BXXMP.01 January 2020
-Make sure that the combined weight of the forklift and the
transported goods does not exceed the maximum load capacity
for the terrain.
-Before driving onto walkways, platforms, gangways, etc., make
sure that they can bear the weight of the vehicle.
-When driving behind another vehicle, maintain a distance equal
to approximately three times the length of the forklift. This will
help prevent accidents in the event that the other vehicle needs
to brake suddenly.
-When passing through narrow passages, the driver must take
care that his or her head, arms and legs do not stick out past the
width of the vehicle.
-When tilting the forks or the back-plate forwards, the stability
of the vehicle is reduced. When it is necessary to put down a
load using these mechanisms, do not lift it any higher than
necessary and, when lowering, do so slowly.
-Tin and sheet metal containers can break and shoot out at
nearby co-workers. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, as well
as turning at speed.
-If during the course of a job it is necessary to stop, unless said
stop is for a very short period of time, the engine should always
be turned off.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
-At the end of the working day, the forklift should be parked in
the place specifically set aside for this purpose, where it will be
protected from the elements.
-When parking the forklift, the engine should be turned off, the
parking brake applied, the battery disconnected and the key
removed from the ignition.
-The forks should be left in the lowest possible position resting
on the ground.
-The forklift should always be parked on level ground. If for any
exceptional reason it is necessary to leave it parked on a slope,
the wheels must be carefully blocked using wedges and the
parking brake applied.
-The driver must not make any repairs or adjustments to the
forklift. Any anomaly observed during work, no matter how
small, must be duly reported to a senior member of staff.
-The operator must never stand between the mast and the
overhead guard of the forklift. If it is necessary to do so, lock all
controls to prevent any unexpected movement of the mast.

INSPECTIONS
Pre-operation Inspection Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-
operation inspection and routine maintenance.
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection performed by
the operator prior to each work shift. The inspection is designed
to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a machine
