Keep sparks, flames, and lit cigarettes away
from battery at all times. Lead acid batteries
generate explosive gases. Severe chemical
burns can result from improper handling of
battery electrolyte. Wear safety glasses and
proper protective gear when handling batteries
to prevent electrolyte from coming in contact
with eyes, skin or clothing.
Battery Electrolyte First Aid
• External Contact — Flush with water.
• Eyes — Flush with water for at least 15
minutes and get medical attention
immediately!
• Internal Contact — Drink large quantities of
water. Follow with Milk of Magnesia, beaten
egg or vegetable oil. Get medical attention
immediately!
IMPORTANT: In case of internal contact, DO
NOT give fluids that would induce vomiting!

1. Preparation and Prevention
Know the location and function of all vehicle controls.
Make sure all persons are away from the vehicle and
that the Travel Select Lever is in the "N" (Neutral)
position with the emergency brake switch engaged
before starting the engine.
Holes, obstructions, debris and other work area
hazards can cause injury or death. Always walk
around and look for these and other hazards before
operating the vehicle in a new work area.

Page 8 8042/10042 Rev. 10/99
5. Lifting Personnel
Use only an approved work platform for lifting and
lowering personnel. NEVER transport personnel in
a work platform for even the shortest distance.
Serious injury or death can occur if these rules are
not obeyed. Riders can fall and be crushed or run
over. Avoid accidents. For other specific precau-
tions, see "Elevating Personnel" later in this manual.
OG0341
OG0350
NEVER operate this vehicle in an area in which
overhead power lines, overhead or underground
cables, or power sources exist without first request-
ing that the appropriate power company or utility
company de-energize the lines or take other suitable
precautions.
4. Electrocution Hazard

Page 9
8042/10042 Rev. 10/99
6.Tip Over Hazard ALWAYS make sure that all four tires have been
properly filled with hydrofill by a qualified tire service
center.
Traveling with the boom raised is dangerous and can
cause tipover. Keep the load as low as possible.
Travel with extreme caution and at the slowest
possible speed.
Driving across a slope is dangerous, as unexpected
changes in the slope can cause tipover. Ascend or
descend slopes slowly and with caution.
Keep the vehicle under control at all times.
Avoid jerky turns, starts, or stops. Reduce operating
speed on rough ground and slopes.
Frame tilting with the boom raised above horizontal is
dangerous. Always use the frame tilt to level the
vehicle before raising the boom above horizontal, with
or without a load. If the vehicle cannot be leveled
using the frame tilt, reposition the vehicle.
If proper operating procedures are not followed,
this vehicle will tip over. If a vehicle ever becomes
unstable and starts to tip over,
• BRACE YOURSELF and STAY WITH THE
VEHICLE.
• KEEP SEAT BELT FASTENED,
• HOLD ON FIRMLY and
• LEAN AWAY FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT.
Indecision and trying to escape from a tipping vehicle
can result in death or injury.
DO NOT exceed the
rated lift capacity of the
vehicle, as structural
damage and unstable
vehicle conditions will
result.
OG0370

Page 10 8042/10042 Rev. 10/99
7. Slopes
DO NOT park the vehicle on an incline and leave it
unattended.
• Driving across a slope is dangerous, as
unexpected changes in the slope can cause
tipover. Ascend or descend slopes slowly and
with caution.
• Ascend or descend slopes with the heavy end of
the vehicle pointing up the slope.
NOTE: The rear of the vehicle is normally consid-
ered the heavy end unless the carriage is fully
loaded. In this case the front of the vehicle is now
the heavy end.
• Unloaded vehicles should be operated on all
slopes with the carriage pointing down the slope.
• On all slopes, the load must be tilted back and
raised only as far as necessary to clear the
ground.
• When operating on a downhill slope, reduce travel
speed and downshift to a low gear to permit
compression braking by the engine and aid the
application of the service brakes.

manual for proper system function.

Page 11
8042/10042 Rev. 10/99
Equipment Considerations
ALWAYS make sure that all four tires have been
properly filled with hydrofill by a qualified tire service
center. Improper hydrofill can cause instability
which can result in tipover.
8. Falling Load Hazard
DO NOT exceed the total rated load capacity of the
specific type fork being used. Each fork is stamped
with a maximum load capacity. If capacity is ex-
ceeded, forks may break. See "Fork Ratings" later
in this manual.
DO NOT downshift at a high ground speed. You
may drop the load off of the forks due to a sudden
slowing.
9. Visual Obstruction
Dust, smoke, fog, etc. can decrease vision and
cause an accident. Always stop or slow the vehicle
until the obstruction clears and the work area is
visible again.
10. Ventilation
Sparks from the electrical system and engine
exhaust can cause an explosion. DO NOT operate
this vehicle in an area with flammable dust or
vapors, unless good ventilation has removed the
hazard.
Carbon monoxide fumes from the engine exhaust
can also cause suffocation in an enclosed area.
Good ventilation is very important when operating
this vehicle.
Warning
DO NOT modify or repair (welding, drilling, etc.) any
part of this vehicle. Modifications can weaken the
structure creating a hazard that can cause injury or
death.

IMPORTANT! Outrigger equipped vehicles can be used
with the outriggers in either the raised or lowered position.
The operator must operate the vehicle within the limits
specified on the appropriate capacity chart for the
outrigger position.
Procedure for Lowering of Outriggers
Secure and proper outrigger placement is critical for
stability of the vehicle. Avoid holes or drop-offs and soft or
excessively uneven terrain. Lower outriggers just far
enough until the front of the vehicle starts to raise and
maintain a level position. Use the following procedure to
assure that both outriggers have been lowered securely.
IMPORTANT: For optimum vehicle stability, never lower
the outriggers to the point at which the tires come com-
pletely off the ground.
1. Before locating the vehicle at the lift point, observe that
the landing area for the outriggers is free of loose
material or debris and that the terrain appears to be
solid and free of holes.
2. Position the vehicle at the lift point and level the
vehicle to zero degrees (0°). If the vehicle cannot be
leveled, reposition the vehicle.
3. Lower the right outrigger until the right front tire just
starts to raise and maintains this position.
4. Lower the left outrigger until the left front tire just starts
to raise and again maintains this position.
5. Frame tilt the vehicle back to level (0°) if necessary.
