Caution
(1) Do not use this forklift outdoors in thunderstorm.
(2) In the case of light rain, a forklift shall not be used outdoors unless equipped with a roof
guard or driver cab. Rain could enter the forklift causing damage to electrical components. Do not
use this forklift outdoors in a heavy rain.
Contact with your BYD local dealer if the forklift is intended to be used in the following
environments：
(1) in places where explosives are stored；
(2) in dusty areas；
(3) in ports or water front with corrosive salt hazards；
(4) in chemical factories with acid and other chemical hazards；
(5) in potential explosive environments with dust or other explosive gas；

Note
(1) The nameplate is placed on the front of the forklift.
(2) After receiving the forklift, check the information on the nameplate and confirm if it
complies with the one you've ordered.
Caution
(1) Every forklift might have different specification. Check the nameplate before operation to
confirm the forklift specification.
(2) When transporting the load, it should not exceed the rated loading capacity of the forklift.
Check and confirm the load of the forklift.
Loading Capacity Chart
When the load center exceeds the rated one, the loading capacity of the forklift is reduced.
The Loading capacity chart indicates the maximum loading capacity the forklift has corresponding
to the different load center.
Suppose the cargo has the load center of 600 mm and the expected lifting height is 4500mm.
(1) Draw the vertical line at the coordinate of load center of 600 mm and find the crossing
point of this vertical line and the curve line of lift height of 4500 mm.。
(2) The ordinate on the Y-axis of the crossing point reads 1300kg, which is the permissible
maximum lifting load.。
Following the same reasoning, you can calculate the loading capacity in the case of other load
center and lifting height.。
If you want to increase the lifting height, decrease the load center (more reasonable
packaging) and weight of the cargo.
