• Use extreme caution when using compressed air to blow parts dry. The pressure
should not exceed 30 psi (208 kPa) at the nozzle. Never use compressed air on
yourself. Air pressure penetrating your skin can be fatal.
WARNING
Suffocation hazard.
Engine exhaust fumes can cause death.
Remove the exhaust fumes from the area with an exhaust
pipe extension, or use ventilation fans and open shop
doors to provide adequate ventilation.
• Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to lower all loads and relieve all
hydraulic pressure. The load could fall on you, or escaping hydraulic oil could
cause severe personal injury.
• Prevent personal injury or equipment damage by using a lifting device with a lifting
capacity greater than twice the weight of any equipment to be lifted.
3.12 Load Handling
• Treat an unloaded forklift with an attachment as partially loaded.
Equipment overload hazard.
Injury or equipment damage may result if the capacity
of the truck and attachment combined are less than the
attachment capacity.
Consult truck nameplate for truck capacity with an
attachment installed.
• Never overload the attachment. Refer to the attachment nameplate for the rated
capacity of the attachment. Refer to the truck nameplate for the maximum net
working capacity of the truck/attachment combination. Never use a load to support
or move another object. Doing so can easily exceed the holding capacity of the
attachment.
• Always check loads to be handled. Correct loads that are broken, unbalanced,
loose, or too heavy.
• Never lift, lower, side shift, pivot, rotate, or tilt loads while traveling. Repositioning
loads while traveling affects the stability of the truck and may impede vision or
clearances.
