4. Handling Procedure
At startup, pay attention to surrounding people.
Issue a start sign as required.
Do not start or accelerate the forklift rapidly.
Do not turn the forklift rapidly.
Do not look aside during operation.
Run the forklift slowly while traveling in a place where it is difficult to see.
Be careful not to get pinched with the handle.
Do not transfer cargo at an elevated position.
Be careful about height of entrance/exit.
Do not change the traveling direction on a slope.
During travel on a platform, do not run the forklift near the edge.
Do not stack cargo to a height that blocks operator’s view.
Allocate a guide as required.

If cargo is transferred at an elevated position, the forklift becomes unstable and may overturn. If the forklift
overturns, the forklift or dropped cargo may collide with a person, resulting in serious injury.
If the forklift runs to the back (toward the fork) with cargo being stacked to a height that blocks operator’s
view, the operator cannot see the area at the front of the cargo and fails to avoid collision with a person or
object, resulting a collision accident.
When you run the forklift in a place where it is difficult to see, a person or vehicle may abruptly come into
sight, resulting in a collision accident. During travel in a difficult-to-see place, run the forklift slowly.
Be careful not to get pinched between the handle and a wall, rack, etc. during operation. If an operator
gets pinched between the handle and a wall, rack, etc., it may result in a serious accident.
Be careful about height of an entrance/exit so that the mast does not collide with the entrance/exit. If the
mast is extended during travel, the risk of collision with entrance/exit or beams will be enhanced. If the
mast of the forklift collides with an entrance/exit, etc., the forklift may overturn and the cargo may fall.
The forklift and dropped cargo may collide with a person, resulting in serious injury.
If the traveling direction is changed on a slope, the forklift becomes unstable and may overturn. If the
forklift overturns, the forklift or dropped cargo may collide with a person, resulting in serious injury.
If the forklift runs near the edge of a platform, the forklift may fall. During travel on a platform, keep a
margin from the edge of the platform.
If it is inevitable to run the forklift in a place where it may collide with a surrounding person or fall,
allocate a guide to ensure safety.
When you start running the forklift, pay attention to surrounding people and vehicles. If you start running
the forklift without attention to surroundings, it may result in collision with surrounding people and
vehicles.
If surrounding people does not notice the forklift, or when the forklift is difficult to see, issue a start sign
with the horn, etc. before start. If you start running the forklift without a start sign, the forklift may collide
with a person.
If the forklift is rapidly started or accelerated, it may become out of control, resulting in collision, and the
cargo may fall and hit a person.
If the forklift is rapidly turned, it may become out of control, resulting in collision, and the cargo may fall
and hit a person.
If you run the forklift while looking aside, it may cause operation delay, resulting in collision with
surrounding people and objects.
