combustible dust, fibers, or paper and remove any for-
eign materials. Contact your local Hyster dealer for
forklift modifications that may be appropriate in envi-
ronments with fire hazards.
Operate the lift truck only in areas that have been
approved for lift truck operation.
• OSHA regulations prohibit the use of lift trucks in
areas containing hazardous concentrations of cer-
tain flammable gases or vapors.
• OSHA regulations require operating areas to be clas-
sified as hazardous or nonhazardous, and that the
lift trucks used in designated locations be of the
minimum type specified (see Guide For Users Of
Industrial Trucks, Appendix C and Table N-1).
Only the designated types of approved lift trucks may
be used in areas classified as hazardous by the author-
ity having jurisdiction. Areas classified as hazardous
must be identified by signs to show the type of
approved lift truck required for operation in the area.
Modifications or poor maintenance can result in the lift
truck being unsuitable for operation in areas classified
as hazardous.
The fork lift truck is designed to pickup, move, and tier
materials. The basic lift truck has a lift mechanism and
forks on the front to engage the load. The lift mechanism
lifts the load so that it can be moved and stacked.
In order to understand how the fork lift truck can pick up a
load, you must first know some basic things about the lift
truck.
The lift truck is based on the principle of two weights bal-
anced on opposite sides of a pivot (fulcrum). This is the
same principle used for a seesaw. In order for this principle
to work for a lift truck, the load on the forks must be bal-
anced by the weight of the lift truck. The location of the
center of gravity of both the truck and the load is also a fac-
tor.
