FORKLIFT SAFETY AND FAMILIARITY
Operators must be retrained when new equipment is
introduced, existing equipment is modified, operating
conditions change or an operator’s performance is
determined unsatisfactory.
The truck is to be inspected daily for problems or damage
which may risk the driver’s safety and any people in the
work area, or possible damage to the truck and the load
being moved.
When trucks are used on a round-the-clock basis, they
must be inspected after each shift.
Problems found must be reported and corrected. The
truck is to be taken out of operation until all repairs have
been made and the truck has been re-inspected for
safety.
IMPORTANT
Anytime you are doing maintenance or repair on the
Landoll B40i4 truck, unless the truck must be on for
investigative testing, remove the key from the key switch
console. Remove the main power fuse or connector and
install a commercially available Lock Out/Tag Out device

smoothly,so as not to shift the load and/or overturn
the truck.
• Do not indulge in stunt driving or horseplay.
• Drive carefully and slowly onto dock boards and
bridge plates. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the
dock boards or bridge plates and ensure dock boards
or bridge plates are properly secured, either by being
anchored or by being equipped with devices that will
prevent slipping.
• Check that dock boards have substantial contact with
both the dock and the carrier, preventing them from
rocking or sliding.
• Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps,
platforms and other similar working surfaces.
• When leaving the operator’s compartment, the forks
must be lowered to the floor, the mast must be
placed in a vertical position, all controls must be in a
NEUTRAL position, and the key switch must be set to
the OFF position. Truck wheels must be blocked if the
truck is parked on an incline.
NOTE
A powered industrial truck is considered unattended
whenever the operator leaves the truck and it is not in
view or when the operator is 25 feet (7.6m) or more away
from the truck.
• Check that all directional controls are in their
NEUTRAL position and your seat belt is
fastened before setting the Keyswitch to ON,
see “Seat Belt” on page 1-6.
• Be extremely careful that NO part of your
body (head, feet, arms, legs, fingers) is
outside the operator’s compartment, subject

Lock Out/Tag Out
IMPORTANT
When performing maintenance or repair on the Bendi
B40i4 truck, unless the truck must be running for
testing, remove the key from the key switch. In
addition, because it’s possible to have a duplicate
key, install a commercially available Lock Out/Tag
Out device on the truck. Also, install a lockout
warning reminder on the steering wheel warning that
the truck is not available for use.
Operator Safety Training

DANGER
Before you start using the B40i4 forklift you must become
familiar with its capabilities. Thoroughly read and
understand the material contained in this Operator’s
Manual and the various machine signs (decals) found on
your vehicle. Whether you are a new operator or have
used forklifts for many years, read through this Operator’s
Manual. It provides step-by-step instructions to help you
operate the Bendi B40i4 forklift in a safe and efficient
manner.
Seat Belt
The drivers seat belt must always be worn when driving
the forklift. Sit up straight in the driver’s seat. The lap
restraint must be worn low and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs and must not be twisted.

WARNING
IMPORTANT
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you can unbuckle the seat belt quickly
in case of an emergency.
Seat Safety Switch
A seat switch tells the vehicle controllers when a driver is
in the operator’s seat. Traction operations will shut down
if the seat switch opens, signaling that a driver is not in
the operator’s seat.
NOTE
A two to three second delay is programmed into the seat
switch to avoid nuisance shutdown and interruption of
normal operations.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is located on the left stop pedal, from
the operator’s seat, and is engaged into place with your
foot using the levers on the side of the pedal. Pushing to
the bottom and left will set the park brake, and more force
put in the upper left to disengage it. It includes a safety
interlock that shuts down the drives, disables the
direction control lever and applies the brakes to prevent
further truck movement. To continue, you must set the
direction lever to NEUTRAL, release the parking brake,
and then set the lever to the desired direction. See
Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3: Park Brake Mechanism
In the interest of operator safety and in
compliance with OSHA regulations, guidelines
have been developed for performing service and
maintenance on the truck.
Before performing service and maintenance on
the truck, review the following sections in this
manual for additional procedures to be followed.
Every forklift operator must be trained in
accordance to the rules provided by appropriate
legislation. Your employer is to ensure that each
powered industrial truck operator is competent to
operate a powered industrial forklift safely, as
demonstrated by the successful completion of
the relevant training course. Operating a powered
industrial truck without the proper training can
cause serious injury or death.
A twisted belt has the potential to cause serious
injury. In a crash or a tip-over, the full width of the
belt would not be available to take up the impact
forces.

Tipping Hazards and Conditions

DANGER
If a tip-over occurs, the operator should follow these
guidelines:
• D not jump.
• Brace your feet firmly.
• Hold on tight.
• Lean away from the tip.
The most common causes of tip-over are listed in this
section. However, the operator must use good judgment
based on proper training and experience to determine
turning sharpness and speed for the load being handled
and the operating surface (or road) conditions.
A truck can tip longitudinally (tipping over the front or rear
wheels) or laterally (tipping either to the left or right side).
Longitudinal Tipping Can Occur
When:
• the forklift is overloaded. See Figure 1-4.
• the mast is tilted forward excessively, with or without a
load.
• the load is raised and you stop suddenly while the
truck is traveling forward or backward.
• the load is raised and the truck is accelerated while it
is traveling forward or backward.
• the truck is driven forward down a steep incline with a
load.
• the forklift is driven backward up a steep incline with a
load.
Figure 1-4: Longitudinal Tip
Lateral Tipping
Lateral Tipping Can Occur When:
• the truck is turned sharply while traveling rapidly in
either direction, with or without a load. An unloaded
truck can tip easier than a loaded truck (with the load
lowered). See Figure 1-5.
• the load is raised and the truck is being turned while
traveling in either direction.
• the load is raised and the truck is being turned and
accelerating or braking while traveling forward or
backward.
• the truck is turned while traveling on a ramp or other
inclined surface.
• a load heavier than the rated truck capacity is lifted.
Tipping over in these conditions is made more likely by
overloading, excessive mast tilt, or off-center positioning
of the load.
Soft tires can also reduce stability. The truck is equipped
with tires of a size and hardness that will provide the
necessary traction and maintain a proper shape to
minimize tipping. Always replace tires with the type
originally supplied by the manufacturer.
Figure 1-5: Lateral Tip
• Lift truck tip-over can cause serious injury or
death to the operator or others in the area.
Every operator must be thoroughly familiar
with the tipping hazards listed in this section
and must always avoid any operation of the
truck which is likely to result in tipping.
• All forklifts that elevate and tilt loads are
subject to the risk of tipping over, especially
when accelerating or stopping abruptly.
• Transporting loads off-center also increases
the risk of tip-over.

1-8 F-808-R0
FORKLIFT SAFETY AND FAMILIARITY
Longitudinal or Lateral Tipping
The Truck Can Be tipped Either Longitudinally or
Laterally when driving:
• over objects on the floor or ground.
• off the edge of a paved surface.
• into a pothole in a paved surface.
• off the edge of a loading dock, or off the edge of a
loading ramp. (It is important to avoid driving too close
to the edge of a dock or ramp).
When loading or unloading a highway truck or trailer,
make sure the highway truck can not move away from a
dock while loading is in process. Make sure the highway
truck or trailer has its brakes applied, key switch turned
OFF, and if on an incline, has the wheels blocked.
Tipping can also occur if the forklift collides with another
truck or other vehicle, or if the mast runs into an overhead
obstruction.
Traveling and Load Handling
• Observe all traffic regulations. Keep to the right and
maintain a safe distance from the truck ahead based
on speed of travel. Keep the truck under control at all
times.
• Yield the right of way to other people in the area.
• Slow down and sound the horn at cross aisles and
other locations where visibility is obstructed.
• Keep a clear view of the path of travel and be alert for
other traffic, people and safe clearances.
• Under all travel conditions, operate the truck at a
speed that permits you to bring the truck to a complete
stop in a safe manner.
• Do not handle unstable loads. Use care when tilting
forward or backward, stacking, returning or retrievinga
load.
• Never travel with the mast tilted forward.
• Never exceed the truck’s maximum lifting capacity.
Refer to “Technical Specifications” on page 5-9 and
the identification plate located right and front of the
seat. See Figure 3-2 on page 3-3.
• The Identification plate lists the load weights allowable
for various fork heights, the truck model number, serial
number and other basic truck data.
• Pay particular attention when picking up a new load to
ensure the load weight and height requirements are
within the truck’s capacity. Truck stability and handling
may be adversely affected.
• Do not transport loads or other items within the
operator’s compartment or other areas of the truck.
• Check that the load is properly positioned on the forks
before lifting.
• Spread forks as far apart as the loadpermits and push
completely under the load. Check that forks and loads
are centered. Use care when handling off-center
loads.
• Travel with the mast tilted backward.
• Travel with forks or load in recommended traveling
position, with the forks/load 8” to 12” above the floor.
• Elevate mast or load only to pick up or deposit a load.
• Watch out for obstructions, especially overhead.
• Watch all clearances.
• Tilt a loaded mast slowly.
• Do not release the lift/tilt controls suddenly when
lowering loads. This may cause bouncing of the
carriage, which could dump the load.
• Do not allow anyone, under any circumstances, to
walk or stand under the forks or any part of the load.
• Never place any part of your body between the mast
structures or any moving part of the truck.
• Do not turn when traveling on ramps. When
descending ramps, travel forward (forks facing
downhill) when empty, travel backward (forks facing
uphill) when carrying a load.
• Use care even when traveling without a load. Avoid
high speeds, sharp turns and abrupt stops.
Speed
Travel speed must be chosen according to the situation,
such as the load being handled, road surface conditions,
visibility, people working in the area, moving and fixed
objects in the area, and cross aisles.Always operate the
truck at a speed that will permit it to be brought to a stop
in a safe manner.

WARNING
Visibility
Where visibility is restricted, travel at very slow speed
and use the horn frequently.
Always ask for a helper (“Banksman”) to guide you safely
through the area when visibility is restricted.
Always rotate in the driver’s seat to face in the direction
you are traveling.
Careless driving, including, fast starts or abrupt
stops, excessive speed at turns or through cross
aisles or hard turns at high speeds can all lead to
serious personal injury and damage to the truck
or load. Always drive with safety as your number
one goal.

Gas Engine
The Bendi B40i4 Model truck is powered by a liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) engine and is designed to minimize
harmful emissions.Fuel is supplied from a standard 33 or
43 lb. ICC gas cylinder tank mounted horizontally on the
rear deck of the truck. The tank is held in the tank mount
plate attached to the truck using a strap and latch. See
Figure 3-5 on page 3-5.An ultrasonic fuel level sensor is
mounted to the back mount plate. This sensor provides
the operator with an accurate quantity of fuel left through
the dash display.The engine muffler is equipped with
baffles to block the ejection of sparks or flame, and meets
standards required by the Forest Service of the U.S.
Department on Agriculture.

DANGER
Engine Care
The gas engine should be maintained per manufacturer’s
requirements. This includes regular oil changes,
checking and replacement of belts and filters, checking
coolant levels, and checking engine compression. Refer
to the Service Manual for more specific information
concerning proper maintenance and care of engine.
Service/Maintenance Safety
When it becomes necessary to do any service repair or
maintenance to the truck, it is important to first review the
following safety guidelines.

WARNING
1. Be sure you have sufficient knowledge, experience,
the proper tools and replacement parts before you
attempt any truck maintenance.
2. Be sure to use proper nuts,bolts and other fasteners.
Many are specifically rated; that is, SAE Grade 5,
SAE Grade 8, ISO Prop Class 8.8, etc., and must be
replaced with the identical type. It is recommended to
use only Landoll authorized replacement parts.

WARNING
3. Whenever possible, return the truck to a service area
having sufficient lighting, work space and an
assortment of tools needed to complete the service.
4. Set the Keyswitch to OFF and set the direction
control lever to NEUTRAL.
5. Perform the Lock Out/Tag Out procedure.
6. Make sure all lifting devices and supports, such as, a
support or jack stand, are capable of handling the
weight of the load being applied.

WARNING
7. Always place an appropriate support stand under the
truck if it is being lifted, then lower the truck on to the
stand, having both the lifting device and stand
supporting the weight of the truck.

DANGER
8. Fully open the required truck covers and be sure they
are braced to prevent accidental closing.
Do not smoke, use and open flame, or create arcs
or sparks near the LPG propane tank. Gas is very
flammable and can cause the canister to explode,
causing serious injury or death.
You could be injured and the forklift could be
damaged if you try to do service work without
proper training or equipment.
If you use the wrong nuts, bolts or other
fasteners, parts will later break, stretch or loosen.
Serious injury could occur.
• To be certain the truck will not move, place
wedges (or blocks of wood) at the front and
back of the tires.
• If you are servicing the bearings or tires,
place the blocks at the front and rear of the
tires farthest away from the one being
serviced. (The tire on the opposite side of the
truck and at the opposite end.)
Getting under a truck when it is lifted or jacked is
dangerous and could cause serious injury or
death. Never go under a truck that is supported
by only a jack.

Receiving and Inspection
This Chapter of your Bendi B40i4 Forklift Operator’s
Manual covers all of the procedures and information you
will need to successfully receive your truck and prepare it
for operation. Storage, Towing and Shipping information
for the forklift is also provided,
Before shipping from the Landoll Corporation, each
Bendi B40i4 truck is inspected to make sure the truck you
receive is in impeccable condition and equipped per your
order.
Additionally, we recommend that you:
• Inspect the truck for any signs of physical damage
during shipment. Note any apparent damage on the
bill of lading and request the delivery agent sign it.
• Report any damage, if any, to your distributor and the
shipping company.
• Verify that the truck configuration and options match
your purchase order. Report any inaccuracies to your
distributor.
Items Furnished with Your Truck
Bendi B40i4 trucks are shipped from the factory with one
copy each of the Operator’s Manual, Parts Manual and a
set of ignition keys attached to the steering column.No
additional items are required to operate the truck.
Tools and Test Equipment
In general, no special tools or test equipment beyond
those found in a well-equipped service center are
required for general maintenance by the operator.
However, custom bearing, seal installation tools and a
calibrated torque wrench are helpful when performing
more involved service.
Preparing the Forklift
1. Check the hydraulic oil level. See “Hydraulic Oil” on
page 5-4.
2. Check the engine oil level. (See “Checking the Oil
Level,” in the Service Manual).Raise the engine
compartment cover.
Inspecting the Forklift
Before releasing the truck for use, prepare a log book or
log sheet for each truck at your site. List all services,
repairs and adjustments performed, as well as equipment
or operation problems, along with when they are repaired
(hour meter reading and date).
Permanent logs serve as a checklist to show
maintenance and repair history, and to record whether
faults have been corrected.
NOTE
Chapter 5 contains “Bendi B40i4 Daily Operator Checks”
on page 5-1, which should be used as a guideline when
inspecting the truck.
Visual Inspection
Many problems can be spotted by a simple visual
inspection of the truck; such as, oil leaks, damaged tires,
cracks in welds or forks, damaged covers, etc.
It is possible for dirt, grease, oil and debris to mask some
problems. If possible, the truck should be cleaned on a
regular basis. If possible, high-pressure washing should
be avoided.

DANGER
Grease solvents are often toxic and may be
flammable. Use only in accordance with the
solvent manufacturer’s recommendations
supplied with the solvent. For example, use only
in a well-ventilated area and do not breathe
vapors. Wear protective goggles, aprons, and
gloves. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes.
Keep away from heat and flame.
Do not smoke when using solvents or in the area
where solvents are stored.
Failure to observe these precautions may result
in death or injury.

RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
Lubricate all grease fittings and metal-to-metal surfaces
located outside the truck. Refer to “Rotation Bearing
Grease Points” on page 5-7 for lubrication information.
General System Checks
With the truck Keyswitch set to OFF and the direction
control switch set to NEUTRAL, perform a walk-around
inspection. Always pay strict attention to all CAUTION,
WARNING, and DANGER decals affixed to the truck and
thoroughly read the SAFETY chapter of this manual.
Check for obvious damage that would require more
detailed inspection.
If you notice a problem, immediately report it to your
supervisor, record it in the truck log book and have it
checked or repaired before releasing the truck for use.
Driver’s Seat
• Check the seat covering and seat belt for rips or cuts.
• Check that the seat belt is firmly attached and that
the buckle is not damaged.
• Check that the seat belt works properly.
The driver’s seat switch system includes an interlock that
shuts down the drive and disables the direction control
(resets to NEUTRAL and requires you change the
direction lever again to establish direction) bringing the
truck to a smooth STOP.
The mast functions remain operable.
To check the seat switch interlock:
1. Sit in the driver’s seat and start the engine.
2. Set the direction control lever to FORWARD and
slowly depress the drive pedal until the truck begins
to move.
3. Lift yourself from the seat far enough to release the
seat switch.
4. Press the drive pedal and notice you must return the
direction switch to neutral and then back to forward
(or backward) for motion control to return. If this is
not observed, immediately report this to your
supervisor and record it in the truck log book. Have
this operation checked and repaired before releasing
the truck to use.
Fasteners
Check for damaged, loose or missing screws, bolts and
nuts. Tighten and/or have service replace as needed.
Horn, Lights, Etc.
Check lights for proper on/off operation and for blown
bulbs. Check that the horn sounds when pressed. Repair
and/or replace as needed.
Hydraulic Lines and Loose
Fittings
Check underneath the truck for evidence of fluid leaks.
Look for hydraulic hose wear, damage and leaks.
Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. If leaks are
found, have maintenance repair all leaks immediately
and check the hydraulic fluid level. Do not use the truck.
Hydraulic Oil Level
Check the oil level weekly. Low oil can cause operational
problems. See “Hydraulic Oil” on page 5-4.
Dash Display
Inspect the dash display for errors, faults and damage to
ensure normal operation.
Stopping
With the engine running, drive forward slowly and then
release the drive pedal. The truck should stop smoothly
without noticeable side pull or vibration.
Mast Operation
With the engine running, raise the mast. Check that the
primary cylinder extends fully and that the lift carriage
rises to the top of the inner rails before the secondary
cylinders begin to move.

WARNING
• When the lift carriage reaches the top of the inner rails,
the secondary cylinders and middle rails begin lifting.
Check to make sure the rails travel smoothly and that
there is no chatter or visible binding.
• With the mast fully extended, begin lowering the mast.
The secondary cylinders and middle rails fully lower
first, followed by the primary cylinder and the lift
carriage. Check for smooth travel with no chattering or
visible binding.
Never place your head, hands, arms or feet in the
mast area. Make sure there is sufficient room
above to raise the mast safely.
