WARNING
and
CAUTION
are both signal words intended to alert the viewer to
the existence and relative degree of a hazard. They are both preceded by a safety
alert symbol consisting of an exclamation mark enclosed by a triangle.
A
Warning
indicates a hazard which could result in injury or death if proper pre-
cautions are not taken.
A
Caution
indicates a reminder of routine safety practices.
A prohibition slash (circle with diagonal slash through it) indicates a procedure or
action that should
not
be performed under any circumstances, as both personal
injury and/or damage to equipment will result.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Big Lift LLC Straddle trucks utilize
the straddle leg configuration, which
normally straddles the load.
Control for steering, braking, forward
and reverse travel, horn and speed con-
trol are all located on the control handle.
All trucks feature an automatic high
speed cut-off circuit which locks out
high speed when the forks are elevated.
Trucks in this series may vary in load
capacity, battery arrangement, instru-
mentation and lift/lower controls,
depending on model and options. The
forks may be rigid or adjustable. One
model has a reach and tilt mechanism
which extends the forks toward the load,
then retracts and tilts back the forks for
transporting the load.
NAME PLATE AND WARNING DECAL
Warning decal locations may vary
between models, but normally they are
near the steering arm within sight of the
operator. The name plate is mounted on
the truck frame or mast. See illustration
on next pages
If the name plate or warning decal are
l o s t o r d a m a g e d t h e y s h o u l d b e
replaced immediately. Have your
supervisor or the designated authority
contact Big Lift LLC Authorized Dealer
for replacement.
The name plate shows the model num-
ber, serial number, and truck type. Bat-
tery type, with voltage and minimum
weight, is shown along with information
on the load capacity and load center.
The warning decal contains warnings
which also appear, with illustrations, in
the Operation section of this manual.
