IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE
OWNERIEMPLOYER
The most expensive part of a material handling operation is not the equipment, but
the people who operate it. Toyota has designed this lift truck to work safely and
efficiently, but you have the primary responsibility for the well-being of your
employees.
Training of operators and the responsibility for providing a safe workplace are
required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Both OSHA and
ANSl (American National Standards Institute) provide operational and
maintenance rules. The last page of this section provides sources for these and
other publications that can help you.
This section of the manual will help you identify ways you can carry out your
responsibilities, and the sections relating to safety information point out hazards
that you can eliminate from the workplace as well as ideas that can be incorporated
into your training programs and work rules.
SELECTION OF LlFT TRUCKS AND
ACCESSORIES
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA) have established rigorous requirements for the design and
operation of industrial trucks. Every Toyota industrial truck has been designed to
meet and exceed those requirements. It is important, however, that your Toyota
truck be selected to meet the needs and demands of your part~cularwork
environment. Consult with your Toyota dealer regarding proper lift truck selection.
Once the proper Toyota truck for your work environment has been selected, both
ANSl and OSHA require that you evaluate and determine whether your lift truck
should be equipped with additional accessories. For information regarding
additional accessories, please consult the Accessories Brochure provided with
every new Toyota truck or the Toyota industrial Equipment website at
www.tovotaforklift,com.
Toyota strongly suggests that you consultwith a safety professionalfamiliar
with your type of industrial setting when accessing your specific work place
safety requirements.

CHOOSING OPTIONS AND ATTACHMENTS
Now that you have selected the right truck for you business, spend time with your
Toyota dealer to discuss how options and attachments can help make your
employees' jobs safer and more efficient. Side shifters can speed pallet movement
for little additonal cost; clamps and rotators are more sophisticated, but if you
handle paper rolls or transfer liquids from barrels to larger containers, the payback
in increased efficiency and reduced product damage will continue as long as you
own your truck.
Many other options are available which cannot all be listed here. Your Toyota
dealer is an expert in solving material handling problems so take them to him or
invite him in to help you build the truck that is right for you.
Clamp Truck with Audible and Visual Alarms: This highly specialized truck
works in close spaces with a high noise level and many pedestrians. The owner
choses audible and visual alarms tailored to his workplace.
Trucker Special: Th~slift truck has special equipment that lets it work easily in
loading and unloading trailers.
Cushion Truck: The sol~dtres on this truck provide resistance to damage or
punctures, but their small diameter and the under-clearance of the truck make it
suitable only for use indoors on clear, smooth, dry floors.
Pneumatic Truck: Larger air filled tires allow this truck to operate on less smooth
surfaces or outside, but care must still be taken to provide a workplace free of
obstacles. Outside use must be restricted to improved roadways, no dirt or gravel.
Caution
For trucks that are equipped with non-marked or smooth tires, be sure to
have a static strap installed by your Toyota dealer.

LIFT TRUCK OPERATORS WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT
ANSl Standard B56.1 requires operator qualification prior to selection based on
visual, auditory, physical and mental ability relative to the specific requirements of
the employer. Similarly,the training required by OSHA and ANSl must betailored to
the workplace. Unique operations can present hazards even to an experienced
operator if the work is different.
Training of new operators, refresher training for experienced operators, plus
appropriate supervision, will provide the basics for safe lift truck operaticn. One of
the most important aspects of training is the experience necessary for the daily
truck inspections required by OSHA. Your Toyota dealer can provide training aids
to help you meet your employee obligations.
All training must include study of the appropriate Toyota materials, OSHA and ANSl
operating rules;but most importantly,the workplace rules specific to your operation.
This book and the National Safety Council publications listed at the end of this
section will help you develop your rules.
Many injuries related to lift truck operation are directly traced to the work
environment and injuries are most easily avo~dedby removlng hazards presented by
plant layout, by improved housekeeping, or instituting and enforcing work rules for
truck operators and nearby workers.
Clean, smooth lift truck aisles separated from pedestrian walkways, large well-
placed intersection mirrors,work rules requiring horn use at blind intersections,and
pedestrians trained to be alert to mobile equipment, will be effective in lowering the
incidence of pedestrian injuries.
Dock related injuries can be reduced or eliminated by the use of trailer locks, proper
edge guarding and well designed dock levelers. To eliminate creeping, never allow
your fork lifts to enter trailers that are not properly parked.Chock the wheels and use
a jack to support the front or rear when necessary

people; lift trucks are not. Ladders or scaffolding may require more time to reach
high areas than climbing up a lift truck mast, but the extra safety
IS worth the wait.
Lift truck tipovers can be the source of serious injuries. You can eliminate hazards
which cause them by training your operators, enforcing work rules against
overloading and high speeds. Make sure your operators are trained to stay with the
truck if an overturn starts.
Please read the section on workplace hazards and eliminate them so your
operators
will not have to recognize and avold them while also concentrating on
their job. The section on operator rules is for you also. It will help you set up work
rules suited to your workplace.
Planned maintenance provides not only the least expensive way to operate your
Toyota trucks, but also the safest. OSHA requires inspection of lift trucks daily or at
the start of every shift This daily check is an important aspect of equipment safety
and availability, and you should provide the time, training materials, and discipline
necessary to make it work for you.
ANSI and OSHA require that authorized mechanics perform maintenance and
repairs, not operators. Toyota dealers can provide planned maintenance servlce
daily operator check lists and genuine Toyota replacement parts to help you comply
with lift truck maintenance standards.

The capacity rating of your Toyota lift truck is determined by extensive testing to
provide you with a safe, efficient material handling tool. Changes or additions to the
truck, such as installat~onof a side shifter or changing an upright, change the load
capacity. OSHA and ANSI require that any changes made to a lift truck that
potentially affect its safety must be approved by the manufacturer in writing. Please
protect your employees by contacting your Toyota dealer before making any
change to your truck.
The examples of adding a side shifter or changing a mast or counterweight are
some of the many changes that require approval and revision of a machine's data
plate. Other changes to the steering or braking system, overhead guards, wheels
and tires, can all affect safety. If you are in doubt, call your Toyota dealer and ask.
Do not make any modifications to the electrical system. Any attempt to do so may
affect the operation of the precision devices built into the battery-operated lift truck,
causing a malfunction or accident to occur.
If any modifications become necessary, contact your Toyota dealer.

SAFETY AND OPERATION INFORMATION
Don't just read over safety information, it could save your life. Make sure you
understand it. If you don't understand something, ask your boss before you take a
chance of being wrong.
a Every time you see this safety alert symbol in this book or on your truck, there
is important safety information for you. It means PAY ATTENTION! LOOK OUT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
The word after the
a symbol will tell you about the hazard or importance of the
rule.
a DANGER -- An extreme hazard that will result in death or cause very
serious injury every time if you don'tfollow the rules.
a WARNING -- Not as serious as DANGER, but a hazard that may cause
serious injury or death if you don'tfollow the rules.
Two other words will be used to help you find better ways to run your truck:
Caution
-- When you see this word, there will be a message to help you avoid
minor injury or damage to your truck.
Note
-- When you see this word, there will be ways to improve your work and keep
your truck running well.

OPERATOR AND OWNER TRAINING & SAFETY INFORMATION
TRAINING
Even simple hand tools can't be used efficiently or safely by people not trained or
experienced with them. Lift trucks are complicated industrial machines that can be
dangerous if used by people who are not trained. Lift trucks are not all the same.
Even if you are trained on one type it does not mean you can operate any machine
or do any job.
OSHA and ANSI require that formal training, specific to the place where you work,
must be given to lift truck operators. On-the-job training must be a part of any
training program, but it must really betraining with close supervision, notjust driving
around or being assigned to a potentially dangerous job without gradual increases
in difficulty.
Increased safety and fewer accidents are major benefits of proper training, but so
are decreased costs due to better efficiency, decreased maintenance costs, and
lower product damage rate.
When people successfully complete the training course,gwe them recognition for it.
Issueauthorizationcards or jacket patchesthat show they are authorized operators,
and if possible assign them to one truck that they havethe responsibility for.
Contact your Toyota dealer and battery manufacturer for help in putting together a
training course suited to your operation and think about the following areas as they
apply to the work you do:
How and where to perform daily truck inspections (OSHA regulation for every
shift in multiple shift operations).
Specialized trucks or attachments that you use (for example, roll clamp, ASME
LPtank).
Particular areas where hazards to pedestrians are created (for example, lunch
room, entrance doors).
Hazards that can't beeliminated (for example, outside ramp with ice in shadow,
low overhead clearance).
Loading docks, rail cars or containers (for example, loading container with
portable ramp).
Plant traffic rules (for example, speed zones, right-of-way, one-way aisles)
Procedures for reporting truck maintenance or repair problems (for example,
forms, out-of-service tags)
Special procedures for charging or changing batteries.
Fire hazard areas restricted to some lift trucks (for example, acetone barrels,
cotton warehouse)
The examples above are intended to be thought joggers, not necessarily all of the
things that need to be taught to your operators. Before putting your tralnlng course
together, walk around the plant, look at your
operations, and ask people who work
there if they know of ways to teach operators how to become safer and more
efficient.

I!. SAFETY INFORMATION
WORKPLACE RULES
Lift truck operators need to remember these rules for safety while they are working.
Some may be more ~mportantin your workplace and you may know of some others
that are only necessary where you work. In either case, supervisors need to know
all the rules to help operators stay safe.
Remember, this is not a training manual for new operators. Lift trucks are so much
different than cars that even experienced automobile drivers need formal training,
and OSHA requires it!
Many of these rules are in the OSHA, ANSI, National Safety Council, and other
publications at the end of the first section of this book. We can't put all of that
information in this book, so please study them when setting your work rules.
Use this section of this book as a starter to develop workplace rules that keep your
plant safe. Call meetings with your people to explain your rules
-- post them where
they can be read and enforce them.
Gloves 1 r I Hard hats 1
OPERATOR
Training: Must be formally trained on specific equipment before being
authorizedto operate fork lift truck.
DrugslAlcohol Mentality: Mixing emotional problems, drugs or alcohol with a
heavy industrial machine is a dangerous situation.
Personal Equipment, Clothing: Proper protection may be necessary in some
operating environments. Use hard hats, seat belts, protective shoes, gloves,
etc. Mental ability is affected by comfort and fatigue level.
Smoking: Never smoke when charging or changing the battery in other
hazardous areas of the plant or when operating the truck. Both hands are
needed for safe operation.
Operator Restraints: Restraints must be used to reduce the possibility of injury
from overturns or other accidents.
Property of American Airlines

II. SAFETY INFORMATION
TRUCK
Daily Check: OSHA requires daily or each shift checks of major equipment.
Don'toperate faulty equipment. Report problems and tag machine so others will
not use it
Capacity: Capacity is based on load and length of load. Either cond~tionin
excess can cause loads to fall or tip a truck over.
Maintenance: Operators are to perform only authorized simple maintenance
such as refueling or checking fluid levels and tire pressures. Authorized,
specially trained mechanics are needed to repair trucks. Park a truck that needs
to be repaired. Don't risk injury by trying to fix it.
Truck Application: Know the ways your truck can operate safely. Don't try to
operate on rough ground with a cushion truck, or push a rail car with the
carriage.
Rampsllnclines: Travel loaded with load uphill at all times. Never turn or park
on an incline.
Stay Protected: Don't travel with legs, arms or head outside the overhead
guard. Watch for long objects that could come into the compartment as you
travel. Never put hands or feet through the upright.
0 Rules of the road: Unless directed otherwise by your employer, signs, keep
right; no passing at intersections or other dangerous places. Use horn only
when necessary for signaling. Give pedestrians right-of-way.
Property of American Airlines

II. SAFETY INFORMATION
PARKING
Hydraulic Drift: Don't park with loads
in the air. Even well maintained
hydraulic systems can change posi-
tion over time and cause a load to
drop.
Safety ExitslEquipment: Don't park
where emergency exits are blocked,
heavy traffic must go, or where
emergency equipment such as fire
extinguishers are stored.
Forks Down: Lower forks or attach-
ments to help keep the truck from
rolling and to avoid trip hazards.
Direction Control: Shift control to
NEUTRAL even if parked for a short
time.
Parking Brake: Make sure the
parking brake works and use it every
time you stop. Chock wheels if there
is any question about the truck
moving.
Key Switch: Turn the key switch off
when you park.
LIFTING
Operating Position: Operate the
truck only when sitting in the
operator's seat. Never stand on the
floor or lean outside the operator's
compartment.
0
Forks: Forks must be long enough to
go at least
213 of the way under a
load. Spread forks as far as possible
and lock them to the carriage.
0 Loose Loads: Don't carry loose or
unstable loads; restack if necessary.
Carry all loads lifted just high enough
to clear the floor and tilted back to
cradle them.
0 People: Don't use a lift truck to raise
people
-- use a work platform or
ladder.
Don't use the upright or overhead
guard to reach high points.
Don't let anyone stand under raised
forks.

TRAVELING
Pedestrians: Give right-of-way to
pedestrians; especially watch tail
swing
-- pedestrians may not know
about it. Never take riders. Use the
horn to make sure pedestrians see
you. Flashing lights and beepers don't
always work.
Speed: Smoothness is important for safety and to avoid loads fallhng or being
damaged. Turn, stop and start gently.
Go Backwards: REVERSE direction is to be used if vision is blocked by
attachments or load. Always make sure your intended path is clear. Watch for
people.
Mirrors: Never depend on mirrors for traveling in reverse, look where the truck
w~llbe going. Use mirrors for extra side vision and to check tail swing when
golng forward

weight. Ask your ~o~otadealer if you are not sure'what your truck weighs. We can't know all the hazards in your work area, but here are three very good rules
to follow to help recognize and avoid some hazards.
1. If you see one of these conditionsthat can cause an accident or injury, eliminate
it. Guard drop offs and fill pot holes. Don't allow maintenance of your truck to fall
behind. Train your people about the unique design of the lift truck.
2. If a hazard occurs, avoid it. For example, stay clear of slippery spots and make
sure they are cleaned up. Change damaged tires; don't keep driving
3. Look for other hazards that may only be in your workplace; things that could
cause injury that only you know about and that only you can eliminate or avoid.

II. SAFETY INFORMATION
LIFT TRUCK HAZARDS
0 Truck vs Car: L~fttrucks are not cars. They have small tires, no springs, and
are very heavy.They can pick up a heavy weight that raises the center of gravity
and they steer from the rear very sharply.
Rear Steer: Rear steer is necessary for doing its job. Combined with sharper
turning, it results in tail swing that can surprise and injure pedestrians or
damage product.
0 NoSuspension: Lift trucks cannot go
over bumps or through pot holes
because springs can't be used when
the weight and center of gravity
change due to picking up loads.Avoid
these hazards.
0 Overturn: Lift trucks can overturn if improperly operated or if hazards are not
avoided. Empty trucks can overturn at high speed, loaded trucks can overturn
while stopped.
0 Attachments: Attachments that hold onto loads or even side shifters can cause
dynamic loadings that can upset a truck if smooth operation of controls or
brakes is not used.
0 Slack Chains: When slack chains occur, something is wrong with the mast.
Operate the lift control to take up the slack before you move the truck. Forks or
rails may be caught or jammed.
Never put your hands in the mast. Ask your Toyota dealer to inspect and
re~air.
I
An empty truck can tip over
easier than a loaded truck.
0 Batteries: Electrically powered truck
batteries are filled with acid and
produce explosive gas when being
charged. Always follow your
employer's rules when you work on
batteries. No smoking is ever allowed
0 Maintenance: Don't drive a truck that
is not mechanically sound. Park it
and tag it out so others won't be hurt.
0 Empty Trucks: A large counterweight
on the rear balances the load in front
and you know that high speed or
quick turns with that load could cause
an overturn or spilling of the load.
When you drop off the load, that does
not give you the green light to forget
about safety. The heavy counter-
weight is still with you, so when empty,
the truck can be more un-balanced
than when loaded. Th~slarge weight
can cause a truck to tip over when the
rear wheels are being straightened
when coming out of a curve. Steering
tighter again will restore balance until
the truck can be slowed, but it 1s
always best to turn, stop and start
smoothly to avo~dtipovers
Property of American Airlines

II. SAFETY INFORMATION
LOAD HAZARDS
e People: Lift trucks are designed ruggedly to carry and stack heavy loads. If
problems occur in a mast, it is often when it is lightly loaded. Stacking
operations rarely require a mast to go to full height as is often done when trying
to reach a high area. Don'tuse your truck to lift people.
High, Wide, Unstable: These loads can fall off and be damaged, interfere with
a doorway or overhead beam, and tip a truck over or fall onto the operator or a
bystander. Sometimes wide loads must be carried high to be lifted over other
stacked material. If so, minimum load, height and speed must be used.
Suspended Loads: Carrying a load
on a chain or cable can introduce
dynamics due to swinging that can
unbalance a truck or strike a
bystander.
Avoid these loads if possible. If you
can't carry them low, use tethers to
stop swinging and travel at a creep
speed.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Slippery Surfaces: Ice, water, oil, snow, sand, etc. can cause loss of control
Avoid these hazards--get them removed.
RoughTerrain: Pot holes, bumps and pavement edges can damage or upset a
truck. Go around them and see that they are fixed.
RailroadTrucks: If you must cross them, go at an angle so one wheel crosses
at a t~me.Trucks can be damaged, loads lost,or the truck upset.
Poor LightinglNoise: Loud noises can make it hard to concentrate or damage
your hearing. Noise and hearing protectors make it harder for pedestrians to
notice you. If you need light to be seen or to work properly, your Toyota dealer
can supply a truck mounted light to fit operating conditions
Pedestrians: People are a big part of
a work area. They have their ownjobs
and are concentrating on them, not I~ft
trucks. Your responsibility is safe

II. SAFETY INFORMATION
LOADING DOCK HAZARDS
Falls: Rail or highway docks have
drop offs, many of which are not
guarded. Watch rear steering near
edges, back away, don't go forward.
Stay with the truck if it falls.
Floors: Make sure floors in rail cars,
highway trucks, and trailers are strong
enough for your truck. Don't fall
through a week area.
Trailers: Unrestrainedtrailers can creep due to
a lift truck going in or chock

must be supported under the king pin and at the rear. secured to the trailer, that the lip remains in place and that all wheels are off
supporting surfaces. Keep driving surface clean and dry. Operate lift truck
slowly and smoothly.
Truck Drivers: Don't become distracted by truck drivers, make sure they are
not in your operating area, but in a safe zone away from the loadinglunloading
traffic. Don't rely on them to chock wheels, make sure it is done properly.
If a trailer is not held up by a tractor, be sure the landing gear legs are down and
