forklifts, as well as the procedures that you should follow when conducting checks, maintenance
and repairs on the forklifts.
Read through every chapter in the manual before operation for the correct use and
maintenance of the forklifts. When the forklift is out for rental or transportation, keep this operation
instruction together with the forklift and make sure that operators can use the manual whenever
necessary.
Pay attention to the following signs：
Danger
（Indicates an imminent extremely hazardous situation. Failure to avoid it will cause severe
injuries, major property damage or even death）
Warning
（Indicates a potential extremely hazardous situation. Failure to avoid it might cause severe
injuries, major property damage or even death）
Caution
（Indicates a potential hazardous situation. Failure to avoid it might cause slight to medium
injuries, or property damage）
Note
（Note for detailed operation. Complying with the instructions will ensure a better operation of
the BYD forklift）
DESCRIPTIONS
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.
If you have ordered other auxiliary attachments besides forks, please handle the loads in
compliance with the loading capacity of the attachments. All the attachments are provided with
operation instructions. Read through the manuals before operation.
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 forklift 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
(7) Check the high voltage connectors (transportation might have loosened the connectors)
To avoid inconveniences in future warranty claims, please check the functions of the forklift
and check if the forklift is complete.

OPERATOR NOTICE
OPERATOR MANUAL 10
EPS14P

(1) Operation of industrial vehicle
(2) Lane and operative area regulation
(3) Diver’s right, responsibility and standard of behavior
(4) Special operation area
(5) Daily maintenance and repair
(6) Regular maintenance and repair
Danger
(1) Unauthorized persons are not allowed to operate the forklift.
(2) Safety devices and features will provide extra safety. Do not deactivate these safety
device and features.
(3) Make sure that the load is well palletized and trimmed to avoid its protruding the loading
surface of forklift and thus slipping, collapsing and falling over.
(4) Any modification on the forklift is not allowed. Contact with BYD before making any
modification.
(5) Do not overload. Before operation, please check the rated loading capacity and loading
center on the capacity chart. When an attachment has been installed, abide by the rated
loading capacity given on the attachment.
(6) Do not operate the forklift after drinking. It might cause severe human injuries.

21 OM-EPS14P2019001-EN
Suppose the expected lifting height is 4300mm.
(1) Draw the horizontal line at the coordinate of lifting height 4300 mm and find the crossing
point of this horizontal line and the curve line of the loading capacity.
(2) The ordinate on the X-axis of the crossing point reads 750kg, which is the ratedlifting load.
(3) If you want to increase the lifting height, decrease the weight of the cargo.

(2) Lower the forks.
(3) Insert the forks under the load.
(4) Lift the forks.
(5) When transporting, drive with caution, pay attention to the route condition and to the
people ahead and maintain a proper driving speed. Transport the load to the designated
place.
2. Load on the high shelf
(1) Drive the forklift carefully up to the load and brake the forklift to a stop.
(2) Set the mast in the vertical position and raise the forks to the bottom of the load.
(3) Insert the forks under the load.
(4) Raise the load until it has left the shelf completely.
(5) Reverse the forklift with caution at a low speed until the forklift leaves the stacking area.

people ahead and maintain a proper driving speed. Transport the load to the designated
place.
Danger
(1) When approaching the load, do not travel at high speed to avoid crashing.
(2) Do not stay beneath the raised load.
Caution
When transporting the load, the load should be securely fastened on a pallet with the gravity
center well centered and proper stacking height. Do not damage the packaging of the goods and
the handling personnel should bear the responsibility of safe loading.
Travelling
(1) When travelling with load, make sure that the load is well centered on the forks.
(2) After the load is placed on the forks, keep the mast tilted backwards and raise the forks
above the floor.
(3) During the travelling of the forklift, do not tilt the mast forward or try raising the forks to
avoid the danger of forklift nose over and losing stability.
(4) If the stacked loads are high and affect the operator’s visibility of the route ahead,
operate the forklift in reverse except when the forklift is climbing the slope or inclines.
Warning
(1) When driving the forklift on a slope, keep the forks always facing the uphill direction and
downhill direction in contrast and drive in turtle speed mode.
(2) Do not cross or turn around on a slope.
Caution
Have a second person as lookout if the visibility of the operator is reduced.
Unloading
(1) Drive the forklift carefully up to the stacking destination and decelerate when approaching.
(2) Raise the forks to the proper height.
(3) Drive the forks and load into the shelf.
(4) Set the mast in the vertical position and lower the forks to the proper height until they get
separated from the forks.
(5) Slowly remove the forks from the bottom of the load.。
(6) After driving the forks out, start the next task.。
Exiting
(1) Lower the forks after unloading.
(2) Turn the key anticlockwise to OFF position and take it out.
(3) Press down the emergency disconnect switch.
