maintenance and use of these lifts. For safety reasons these
units are designed to be serviced or repaired in the fully
lowered position. If performed properly, this will greatly
reduce the possibility of injury.

WARNING!
You or others around you can be seriously injured or
even killed if you don't use this stacker correctly. Read
and obey all warnings and instructions in this manual
and on the stacker. It is your responsibility before start
-

wall or post.

caught between the stacker and a fixed object will be
crushed or even cut off.

If traveling forks first, keep both hands on the
control handle and be careful when changing direc-
tion of travel. Keep your feet clear of the stacker.

Keep the stacker under control at all times.
Operate at a speed that allows you to stop safely. Be
even more careful on slippery or uneven surfaces.
Do not run over objects on the floor.

Perform all stacker movements smoothly and at
a speed that will give you time to react if an emer-
gency occurs.
Tipovers and falls are very serious accidents; you can be
crushed or even killed. To prevent injury, know where you
are at all times and follow the rules of safe stacker operation.

Be careful when working around docks, dock-
boards and trailers. Stay away from the edge of
docks and ramps. Check to make sure the wheels of
truck or trailers are chocked.
•
Travel with the load or forks close to the ground.
Watch for overhead obstructions. Perform all stacker
movements smoothly and at a speed that will give
you time to react in an emergency.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from all moving
parts such as masts, chains, forks or wheels.
•
Never stand on or under the forks, or allow any-
one else to stand on or under them. Never ride on the
stacker or allow anyone else to ride. There is no safe
place to sit or stand.
