Accidents can occur if the safety regulations are disregarded, insufficient care is taken during
maintenance or when operating the machine. You must be aware of the risks entailed in certain
actions. This manual describes potentially hazardous situations and the measures to be taken during
operation and maintenance.
It is impossible for the manufacturer to foresee every potentially hazardous situation, which may lead
to injuries or damage. The user must ensure the safety of all actions, procedures or the use of any
tools that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Always use original spare parts.
For your and other people’s safety:
Never load the forklift truck above the maximum stipulated weight.
Always check the loading diagram on the bonnet.
The lifting capacity is halved when the load rests on only one fork. Avoid this as much as possible.
Keep the load as close to the ground as possible when driving with a loaded machine. Never drive
at top speed in this situation.
Keep the speed as low as possible when driving with an elevated load and keep track of the
maximum clearance height.
ALWAYS carry out the necessary preventive inspections and regular maintenance. Never start
working with the machine unless it has been thoroughly checked. Pay particular attention to the
tires, battery, brakes, steering gear, fuel system, and electrical components.
Do not refuel while the engine is running. No smoking is allowed during refueling or changing /
adding oil and fire and sparks must be prevented. Explosive gases are released during refueling.
Carefully remove any spilt liquids after refueling or changing / adding oil.
Before changing or adding oil, the machine must be checked for oil stains. Try to find out where
they come from. If they are caused by a technical failure, first repair the failure before continuing
working with the truck.
When leaving the machine, ensure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gears are in
neutral.
A wrong sitting position can cause accidents. Always adjust the chair so that you can properly
operate the levers and have a good sight.
Never work with a truck without a safety guard or safety bracket (which are standard supply).
Always wear you seat belts when operating the forklift truck.
Operate at a speed that gives you positive control of the truck. High speeds can be very
dangerous. Also sudden brakes, accelerations, or turns can cause dangerous situations.
If you have to drive at locations with little clearance height, take the following things into account:
oAlways check if there is enough clearance above and beside the truck.
oKeep all parts of the body inside the safety guard, keep your hands on the steering wheel and
keep your feet on the pedals.
oPay attention to where you drive
Gently operate the levers. This increases the life span of the truck and is much safer.

User Manual Prins Tiger General Safety Regulations
5 Prins Maasdijk, October-2013
Never walk under an elevated load. This is extremely dangerous.
Never carry a person on the forks or on the truck.
When lowering the forks, make sure the forks are horizontal or tilted a bit backwards. Never lower
the forks when they are tilted forwards.
The state of the machine can be checked by many factors. Any changes of sound, vibrations, or
reactions on the levers can indicate failures. If you suspect a failure, immediately pull over the
truck and stop the engine. Check for causes and take the necessary actions.

User Manual Prins Tiger Summary of components
Prins Maasdijk, October-2013 10
OPS lamp
If the operator leaves the seat, the OPS lamp will light up, indicating that the
OPS System is operating. (If the operator returns to normal seating position
within 2 seconds, loading can be continued.) In such a situation, return the
control lever and lift lever to the neutral position, then sit on the seat again.
►Caution!
In the following cases, a malfunction may have occurred to the OPS System.
Park the vehicle in a safe location and contact Prins Maasdijk to request an
inspection.
• If the operator leaves the seat, the OPS lamp does not light up.
• Even when the operator re-seats, the OPS lamp does not turn off.
Water temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant.
1. This gauge functions with the ignition switch ON, and displays
the coolant water temperature from left to right in a 10-stage
gradation scale.
2. The operator will be notified when the water temperature is
115ºC or over (above 8th stage), as the final two stages at far
right begin blinking. Again, when the engine protection function
activates (for vehicles with Multifunction display: OPT), the entire
gauge will start blinking to inform the operator.
3. Temporary overheating may be caused by coolant leakage, low
engine coolant level, loosened fan belt, or other problem in the
cooling system. Contact Prins Maasdijk to request an inspection.
Fuel gauge (Diesel and Gasoline/LPG engine models)
Indicates the amount of remaining fuel in the fuel tank in terms of
a 10-stage gradation scale. The operator will be notified that
remaining fuel level is low when the two stages at far left start
blinking. It takes some time for the indication to be stabilized after
refueling and the ignition switch is turned to ON.
Note:
• If the operating area is not level, attention must be paid because
the correct level may not be indicated.
• When the gauge begins blinking, refuel as soon as possible.
In case of diesel engine, be sure to refuel it before it runs out
because when this occurs it becomes necessary to bleed air from
the fuel supply system.
Diagnosis lamp
If an abnormality is registered by the OPS or mini lever, the
respective lamps will light up or blink to inform the operator and
the diagnosis error code will be displayed in the hour meter
display area. If the following conditions occur to the lamp, there
may be a system abnormality. Contact your dealer to request an
inspection.
• The lamp does not light up when the ignition switch is turned
ON.
• The lamp lights up when ignition switch is turned ON and stays
ON.
• The lamp blinks during ignition switch is turned ON.
►Caution!
• Continuing to use the vehicle while the diagnosis lamp is
lighted or blinking may lead to a breakdown. When the lamp
lights up or blinks, halt all operations and park the vehicle in a
safe location. Contact Prins Maasdijk to request an inspection.

User Manual Prins Tiger Summary of components
11 Prins Maasdijk, October-2013
(In the case of diesel engine vehicles, the diagnosis lamp may
light up during engine warm-up after a cold-start, but does not
indicate an abnormality.)
• If the operator remains seated for a long period with the ignition
switch turned to OFF, the next time the ignition switch is turned
to ON, the diagnosis lamp may start blinking. If this occurs, leave
the seat. The diagnosis lamp will then turn off.

may be abnormal. Contact Prins Maasdijk to request an
inspection.
►Caution!
• Always perform pre-operation checks. Do not rely on the OK
monitor, even if it is not lit.
Brake warning lamp
When the parking brake is engaged or brake liquid is low, the warning lamp
will light up to notify the operator.
1. The warning lamp will light up when the parking brake is engaged. After
disengaging the brake to operate the vehicle, check to make sure the warning
lamp has turned off.
2. The lamp will light up to notify the operator when the brake oil is low.
►Caution!
• If the warning lamp does not turn off when the parking brake is disengaged,
the brake fluid may be low. Inspect the brake fluid level and replenish it if
necessary.
• If the warning lamp remains a lighted even if the brake fluid level is
sufficient, contact Prins Maasdijk to request an inspection.
Coolant level warning lamp
1. When the coolant level of the radiator reserve tank becomes low, the
indicator lamp will light up to notify the operator.
2. If the lamp lights up while the engine is running, this may indicate a
deficiency in coolant. Stop the engine and inspect the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank and the radiator. Before checking coolant level in the
radiator wait for it to cool as it maybe under pressure when hot.
3. Even if the coolant level warning lamp is not lighted, always inspect the
coolant level before starting operations.
Air cleaner warning lamp
1. This lamp comes on when the air cleaner element gets clogged while
engine is running.
2. If normal, the lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned to ON and
goes off when the engine starts.
3. If the lamp comes on while the engine is running, stop operations and park
the vehicle in a safe location, stop the engine and clean the element and dust
cup. For the cleaning method, refer to the Weekly Inspection Section in this

O [OFF] – Engine stop position. Key insertion and
withdrawal are performed in this position.
I [ON] – Engine operation position. Located one position
clockwise from O [OFF] position.
The intake heater is preheated before starting in the
diesel models.
START – Engine, start position. Located one position
clockwise from the I [ON] position.
After the engine starts, release the key and it will return to
the I [ON] position automatically.
In the torque converter model, the engine does not start
unless the control lever is set in the neutral position.
►Caution!
• Never operate the ignition switch without First sitting on
the seat. Otherwise, the forklift could start to move
uncontrolled, causing an accident.
• When the OPS lamp is on, return each lever to the
neutral position and sit on the seat. Then confirm that the
lamp has gone off.
• Do not leave the switch in the [ON] position when the
engine is stopped. It may cause over discharge of the
battery.
• Do not turn the switch to the START position while the
engine is running.
• For the sake of safety it is recommended to always start
the engine of a vehicle with the transmission gear shift
lever shifted in the neutral position.
• Do not operate the starter motor for more than 30
seconds continuously. Return the switch to the [OFF]
position and wait at least 30 seconds prior to attempting
restart.
• In case of the anti-restart ignition switch (optionally
available), be sure to shift the switch to the [OFF] position
before attempting to start the engine again.
• With the ignition switch OFF (engine off), the forks will
not lower even if the lift lever is operated. However, if you
sit in the seat and turn on the ignition switch, you can
lower the forks. (Except mini lever models) Do not operate
the lift lever before getting on the vehicle and starting up
the engine. (key-off, lift locked)
• If the diagnosis lamp does not go off even when the
operator sits on the seat, the battery power may be low. In
such a case, do not drive the vehicle until the lamp goes
off, otherwise the vehicle may not operate correctly. If you
are obliged to drive the vehicle, do so with the utmost
care.
Also, stop driving and ask Prins Maasdijk for inspection if
the lamp does not go off 1-2 minutes after the engine
starts, or when you race the engine for a while. (For diesel
vehicles, the diagnosis lamp may be on for a while to
warm up the engine after cold starting. This is, however,
not an engine malfunction or failure.)

the neutral position.
• Stop the vehicle before shifting between forward and
reverse direction.
Torque convertor interlock function (OPT)
If you switch the control lever direction to something other
than the current travel direction while moving at high speed,
this function electrically disengages the drive and sets the
torque converter to neutral. Once the speed drops below
the set speed while running in neutral, the travel direction is
automatically switched.
To change travel direction, operate the control lever after
travel speed is reduced sufficiently. Ask Prins Maasdijk for
changing speed setting.
