OPERATING THE B40I4 FORKLIFT
4-9
6.
Turn the shut-off valve counterclockwise to open the
valve.
7.
Inspect the fuel system for leaks when the fuel valve
is open. Frost on the surface of the tank, valves or
fittings, or a strong odor of LPG fuel indicates a leak.
Engine Coolant
The coolant level is checked by checking the level in the
plastic reserve tank - not by removing the radiator cap.
When required, add coolant to the system only at the
reserve tank - not by removing the radiator cap.
When adding coolant, use the proper anti-freeze solution.
Anti-freeze protection must be provided for and checked
in both the radiator and reserve tank.
NOTE
The cooling system is filled with an Dexcool Anti-Freeze
solution for protection to -10°F(-2°C). Always fill or
replace with the same mixture or with a solution of higher
concentration for operating in temperatures below
-10°F(-2°C).
CAUTION
Handling a Load
Narrow-aisles, plus the size of the truck can prevent a
load from being pulled straight out of the rack. You must
rotate the mast and shift (or inch) the load in or out of the
rack. A combination of movements, where rotation or shift
actions occur with forward or backward movements of the
truck, are needed to inch the load in and out of position.
This will require some practice by the operator to be
performed smoothly and effectively.

DANGER
Retrieving a Load
NOTES
Actual minimum aisle width will vary based upon
application. See Figure 4-11, item 5.
The following illustrations show standard 40 in. x 48 in.
(W x L) pallets loaded on a rack with 96 in. beams.
The arrow labeled with an ‘S’ shows the direction you
must turn the steering wheel.
Follow these steps to retrieve a load:
1.
Approach the side of the aisle that is opposite the
load, Item 1 - See Figure 4-11.
Never operate the engine without a thermostat as
severe engine damage can result through
incorrect cooling.
• Look in the direction you will travel before
you begin to drive the forklift.
• Make sure forks are set so the spacing
between them is equal to one-half the
opening between the end stringers on the
pallet.
• Make sure you insert forks fully into the
pallet. Do not “tip load.” See Figure 4-10
• Read and understand the information in the
“Before You Begin (Please Read)” on
page 1-1, section before you operate a Bendi
B40i4 forklift.
• Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked
loads.
• Use caution when you handle long, high or
wide loads.
• Do not allow anyone to stand beneath or pass
under the mast.
• Never use the forklift to elevate anyone
without the use of an approved attachment.
• Never carry passengers on the truck.
• Never load the Bendi forklift beyond its rated
capacity. Rated capacity is stated on the
truck’s identification (capacity) plate.
• Loading the truck beyond its rated capacity
can cause axle(s) to break, the truck to tip
over and/or the load to fall.
• Make sure the load center of the load does
not exceed the load center rating stated on
the truck’s identification (capacity) plate.
• If the mast continues to raise after the control
lever is released, turn off the Keyswitch.
• Failure to follow these guidelines can cause
serious injury or death.
