Load Handling
Danger
Death or serious injury by electrocution
will result from contact with or inadequate
clearance with energized power lines or
apparatus.
• Never operate the forklift in an area where active
overhead power lines, overhead or underground
cables, or other power sources exist.
• Contact the appropriate power or utility company
to de-energize power lines or take other suitable
precautions.
Keep the forklift, attachments, and loads a
safe distance from electrical power lines.
• Remain at least 10 feet (3 meters), plus an additional
0.4 inches (10 millimeters) for each 1,000 Volts over
50,000 Volts, from active power lines and other
power sources.
• Work site operating directives and/or local or state
codes might require a greater distance.
• Know the maximum height and reach of this
reach forklift.
Warning
Failure to follow proper safety procedures
when lifting, lowering, and traveling with
a load could cause death, serious injury, or
property damage.
DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 12,000 pounds
(5,443 Kilograms). The total rated capacity of the forks
being used must equal or exceed forklift capacity.
Forks can break causing loss of load and could result in
death or serious injury.
DO NOT exceed the rated load for any
attachment. Any attempt to lift or carry
loads in excess of the manufacturer’s rated
load could cause forklift tip over, loss of
load, or structural damage which could result in death,
serious injury, or property damage.
Warning
Failure to keep personnel clear of the
load area while the load is being raised
or lowered could cause death or serious
injury. DO NOT lift, swing, or move a load
over anyone or over a forklift cab.
• Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary
attachment before performing any operation.
• Use the correct load chart and NEVER exceed
specified weights and load centers.
• DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s recommended
load capacity.
• DO NOT operate the forklift with an unsafe load
distribution.
• Adjust the load as necessary, especially for
nonstandard loads.
• Use caution when handling loose material that can
fall into the cab.
• Remove overhanging load materials, when possible,
and watch for sliding material.
• DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that
can enter the cab, if tipped.
• Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns.
Suspended Loads
Warning
Avoid carrying a suspended load. If
necessary, secure the load by attaching
it to the forklift tie-downs and/or
have another person assist with safely
steadying the load. The handling of suspended loads
can introduce dynamic forces drastically affecting
the stability of the forklift. Grades and sudden starts,
stops, and turns can cause the load to swing and
create a hazard if not stabilized. Swinging loads can
become unstable, and could cause death, serious
injury, or property damage.
1.
Do not exceed the forklift’s load capacity (as noted on
the load chart)
2.
Only lift the load vertically, and never drag it
horizontally
3.
Transport the load with the bottom of the load and
the boom as low as possible
4.
With the load elevated, move the forklift slowly
and cautiously Only move the forklift to the extent
needed to raise, transport, and place the load
5.
Use guy lines to restrain load swing if possible
