Operation Notice
BYD industrial vehicles can only be operated in the designated areas in the factory or in other
specific environments, in compliance with Regulations on safety supervision of special equipment.
Inappropriate use of the BYD forklift might cause damages and losses, which the operators
or proprietor instead of BYD should be held liable for. If the forklift needs to be operated in the
environments other than those mentioned in this manual, contact with your local BYD dealer first for
confirmation.
Any modification to the forklift is not allowed unless BYD’s written consent is granted. Contact
with BYD first before modifying the forklifts.
This manual is devised based on the standard forklifts. For other questions not covered in the
manual, please check with BYD after sales service.
BYD Forklift is subject to ongoing development and optimizing the design of products.
BYD Forklift reserves the right to alter the design, equipment, technical features, and technical
specifications and so on. No guarantee of particular features of the forklift should therefore be
assumed from the present operator manual.
Forklift Delivery
Every BYD forklift has passed through thorough performance tests before shipment. Although
proper protection has also been adopted during transportation, it is advised to conduct a thorough
inspection when the forklift arrives. Before delivering the forklifts to end customers, to guarantee
that the forklift is in perfect condition, the followings checks should be conducted at BYD dealers:
1.Check if the wheel nuts are securely fastened.
2.Check the hydraulic oil level.
3.Check the braking function.
4.Check the travelling function.
5.Check the steering function.
6.Check the operation of mast and attachments (for counterweight forklift and stacker)
7.Check high voltage circuits.

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 600mm and the expected lifting height is 4000mm.
1.Draw the vertical line at the coordinate of load center of 600mm and find the crossing point
of this vertical line and the curve line of lift height of 4000mm.
2.The ordinate on the Y-axis of the crossing point reads 7000kg, 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.
Caution
1.Forklift specification varies depending on customer requirements. Refer to the load capacity
chart for confirmation on the maximum allowed load;
2.The load capacity chart reflects only compact, well palletized and evenly centered loads
within the load limit. Otherwise the stability of the forklift and the rigidity of the related parts will be
impaired.
Other Decals
Please pay attention to notes or warning decals and signs before using.

1.Weight adjustment
Fold out the weight adjustment lever completely, hold it at the front and move it upwards or
downwards (10 movements from minimum to maximum). Before every new movement, bring the
lever back to the starting position (audible locking sound).
The driver’s weight has been set correctly, when the arrow is in the middle of the viewing
window. With the operator weight setting completed, fold the handle fully to the initial locked
position.

2.Adjustment of lateral position of seat
Pull up the recess of the lever. Move the seat forward and/or backward to find the right seat
position.
Return the lever to its folded position and the seat has been adjusted.
3.Lumbar support adjustment
Lumbar support can be adjusted to improve ride comfort of the operator. Rotating the
adjusting lever upward can increase the bending extent of the upper portion of the backrest.
Rotating the adjusting handle downward can increase the bending extent of the lower portion of the
backrest.
4.Backrest adjustment
Raise the lock handle, then adjust the backrest angle (while adjusting the backrest angle,
ensure that the backrest is not blocked). Release the locking lever to lock the backrest.
5.Seat belt
Pull out the seat belt slowly from the retractor, and then put the buckle end into the lock.
6.Seat document box
There is a document box on the rear side of seat, which could store documents, work gloves
and other flat goods.
