PRIOR PREPARATION WHEN STARTING UP THE FORKLIFT
Place the machine in its working position and check that the machine is on the level.Before
starting operations:
-Check that maintenance operations are carried out carefully, and that the specified time intervals are applied (see
section 4 on “MAINTENANCE”).
- Check that enough fuel exists in view of autonomy, to avoid the risk of the engine stopping suddenly during a
critical manoeuvre. Always stop the engine before refuelling and never smoke during the process. Do not mix
gasoline or alcohol with the fuel.
- Carefully clean the instruments, plates and labels, lights, rear view mirrors and wing mirrors (if fitted).
- Check that all safety devices fitted on the machine operate correctly and in the working area.
- It is prohibited to make tideover repairs simply to be able to start work
- Should any difficulties or problems of any type arise, immediately notify your superior.
Do not start any job without complying with safety requirements. If you notice any anomaly while using the forklift,
inform the maintenance service immediately.
Before starting work with the forklift, clean up any possible oil or fuel which may have leaked, clean and remove any
grease from your hands and the soles of your shoes and remember to check the followingitems:
- Tyre pressure and tread condition.
- Check brake functioning.
- Check for any leaks in the hydraulics, fuel and cooling system, etc.
- Check that all protectors, covers and safety end stops props are correctly positioned and properlyattached.
- Check that there are no cracks or other structural defects visible to the naked eye.
- Check the correct operation of all controls.
- Check levels of fluids and lubricants:
·fuel.
·inching circuit fluid. hydraulic fluid.
·coolant.
·engine oil
-Check the seatbelts and their mountings are in good condition and properly fixed. Carefully inspect the condition of
this device paying special attention to:

22
·cuts or loose threads on the belt.
·wear or damage to fittings, including anchor points.
·incorrect functioning of the seat belt buckle or retracting roller.
·loose seams or stitching.
-Check that all covers, locks and other safety elements are correctly positioned. The removal of safety devices such as
the engine cover is prohibited with the exception of for maintenance purposes. Should it be necessary to remove
these devices, stop the engine, and pay close attention during the operation.
Replace
the devices before starting the engine and operating the machine.
-Check the correct functioning of alarms and signalling devices (for example: acoustic warning,obstruction indicator
for the air admission filter, etc.)
-Check that all the information and safety plates on the forklift are clean and in good condition. Danger warning
signals must not be removed, covered or unreadable.
- Check that the lighting and signalling system is clean and working properly (if fitted).
- Check the electric battery connections and the level of electrolyte.

- Do not start the forklift or operate the controls unless you are in the operator’s seat.
- To ensure your safety should the machine roll over, do not forget to correctly adjust and fasten the seat belt.

23
DURING WORK AND MAINTENANCE
When operating the forklift, do not forget to ...
- Keep hands, feet and the whole body in general inside the area provided for the operator.
- Pay special attention to work on slopes, move slowly, avoid being situated crosswise and do not operate slopes
which exceed the recommended gradient.
A slope within the recommended gradient does not mean that this slope can be manoeuvred on with
absolute safety under any load, terrain or handling conditions. Descend slopes in reverse gear, i.e. with the load in the
most stable direction.
- It is not recommended to operate on slopes greater than 15% under any circumstances.
- Give way to any pedestrians you might come across while driving.
- The forklift must not be used to carry people, other than the driver, or to lift people if approved and authorized
systems are not fitted for this purpose.
- Do not overload the forklift or handle loads which displace the centre of gravity of the forklift outside of limits. Carry out
manoeuvres gently, especially when changing direction on slippery ground.
- Do not carry unstable, unfastened or overlarge loads. If very large or wide loads must be handled, take all possible
precautions to avoid hitting items in the surrounding area and other potential acci- dents.
- Before handling loads from a lorry or trailer, ensure that the latter is appropriately positioned and that the brakes are
set.
- If using an accessory, check acceptable loads for the forklift + accessory configuration (which willdiffer from figures
for the standard configuration) prior to use.
- Ensure that you have good visibility of the track, if the load obstructs visibility, drive in reverse gear and increase
precautions.
- When approaching a crossroads with poor visibility, slow down, sound your horn and move forwards slowly in
accordance with the amount of visibility available.
- The speed of the forklift should be adjusted to the working conditions and area at all times. Systemat- ically driving
the machine at maximum speed may represent a danger to the operator and the surrounding area.
- Check that the resistance of the ground on which you are driving is sufficient for the loaded forklift, in particular when
accessing bridges, embankments, slabbed areas, loading areas, etc.
- Before reversing the forklift, the operator should check that doing so will not put at risk
either the machine itself or nearby people or objects.
- Do not drive with the horizontal arm lifted.
- Do not activate two horizontal arm movements simultaneously.
- Keep your mind completely on the job in hand. The safety of both the driver and others depends on the care
taken when driving.
- Depending on the ground, try to raise as little dust as possible while moving about driving.
- The forklift is not designed to tow other machines. If, for any reason, this operation is indispensable, check that the
machine has sufficient pulling power.
- Advance carefully and slowly; If the trailer is not fitted with an inertia brake, make sure that the brakes are strong
enough for both the forklift mass and that of the trailer. If the machine rolls over, it is important that the driver avoids
being trapped between the machine and the ground.

24
To prevent this we recommend the following:
· Try to remain within the operator cab.
· Grasp the steering wheel firmly
Push feet firmly against the floor plate of the cab.
· Try to keep as far away from the point of impact as possible. Take care when loading and unloading the forklift...
- If concrete spills onto the road surface, remove it before it hardens. While 、 working, carrying outmaintenance
or re pairs , extreme precaution must be taken. Yoursafety 、 dependson it...
While working, carryingout maintenance or re pairs , extreme precaution must be taken. Your safety depends on it.
- Never stop carrying out forklift maintenance. Specialised personnel should be assigned to this job, equipped with the
necessary tools and appropriate instructions. Only authorized personnel should carry out maintenance and repair
work.
- Check the best route to reach the working area.
- It is prohibited to transit or remain under suspended weights or machine parts which are only supported by
hydraulic pistons, chains or cables.
- Maintain the handles and footholds used to enter and operate the machine clean and free of oil and grease to
avoid slipping or falling.
- Face the machine when entering or exiting the cab or other raised parts. Never face away from the machine.
- It is prohibited to enter or exit the machine during operation.
- It is prohibited to leave the control panel when the machine is operating.
- Unless unavoidable, all interventions on the forklift should be carried out with the engine switched off, without any
load and with all blocking and locking devices engaged.
- It is prohibited to stop or undertake any kind of intervention in the area between the wheels of the machine while
the engine is running. The engine must be stopped .
- Some operations are easier to carry out with the horizontal arm lifted.
Before doing so, precautions must be taken to prevent the arm from accidentally lowering using he devices
designed for this purpose for each specific forklift model.
- Maintenance or repairs may not be carried out without the appropriate lighting.
- Direct the spot light beams to ensure that personnel are not blinded.
- Before handling cables or electric devices, check that connections are correct and that the devicesare
operational.
- Before carrying out any electrical welding on the forklift, disconnect the battery to avoid possible damage to
electric and electronic equipment.
- It is prohibited to lubricate, clean or adjust mechanical components while moving.
- Operations which require the use of specific tools may not be carried out without these tools.
- Do not use tools in an unsatisfactory condition or in an improper manner (e.g. use a clip instead of afixed clamp).
- Regular checks should also be carried out on all those elements whose excessive wear or aging could lead to a
risk of accident, for example: hydraulic pipes, brake lining, tyre tread, etc.
- Should operator protection suffer an impact that induces a crack or permanent deformity, as this is a safety
element, it must be replaced with a new item.
- All modifications which affect the capacity and safety of the forklift must be authorized by the manu- facturer or by an
official industrial actor, with an update to instruction manuals and plates if necessary.
