SAFETY SYMBOLS

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 per-

sonal 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
control are all located on the control
handle. All trucks feature an auto-

matic 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.

NAME PLATE AND WARNING DECAL

Warning decal locations may vary
between models, but they are always
near the steering arm within sight of
the operator. The name plate is
mounted on the right side of the truck
frame. See illustration on next page

If the name plate or warning decal are
lost or damaged they should be
replaced immediately. Have your
supervisor or the designated author-

ity contact Big Lift LLC Authorized
Dealer for replacement.

The name plate shows the model
number, serial number, and truck
type. Battery 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.
