Operating Procedures Load Handling - General 1. Handle only loads within the capacity as shown on the Name- plate. This rating represents the maximum load that can be lifted. However, such factors as weak floors, uneven terrain, special load handling attachments, or loads hav- ing a high center of gravity can mean that the safe working load is less than the capacity.
Remember, a lift truck equipped NOTE: The lift trucks covered in this manual can be equip- with a Hyster overhead guard and ped with either standard manual hydraulic levers or Electro- load backrest extension provides Hydraulic (E-Hydraulic) mini-levers.

Operating Procedures WARNING Keep yourself and all others clear of the lift mecha- nism. Never allow anyone under or on the forks. A lift truck without an overhead guard provides no such WARNING protection and other personnel have no overhead protec- tion.

Operating Procedures Always travel with the load as low as possible and tilted backward. Lowering speed is controlled by the position of the control lever. Lower slowly and smoothly. Slowly return the control lever to the Neutral position so that the load is not dropped or that the lift truck is not tipped over due to the rapid stop of the load.

Operating Procedures 10. Do not pass another lift truck traveling in the same direction at intersections, blind spots, or at other dangerous locations. 8. Watch clearances, especially forks, mast, overhead guard, and tailswing. A lift truck is designed to perform a wide variety of functions within limited space.

HOLD FIRMLY TO STEERING WHEEL, BRACE YOUR FEET, AND LEAN FORWARD AND AWAY FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT. Before operating in a highway truck or railroad car, observe the following: DO NOT use a lift truck to move a railroad car.
Operating Procedures When entering a railroad car the operator can enter at an angle (if the dock plate or bridge is wide enough). This will reduce the turning required after entering. Attachments WARNING Make sure the Nameplate is correct if an attachment has been installed.
Operating Procedures Stopping The operator must never leave a lift truck in a condition so that it can cause damage and injury. When parking the lift truck, do the following operations: 1. Stop the lift truck. The parking brake is automatically applied.
Maintenance Maintenance General This section contains a Maintenance Schedule and instructions for daily maintenance and inspection. The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for inspection, WARNING lubrication, and maintenance for your lift truck. The service DO NOT make repairs or adjustments unless you have intervals are provided in both operating hours recorded on both authorization and training.
Maintenance Your dealer for Hyster lift trucks will advise you on the maintenance time intervals based on their survey of the application. Your dealer for Hyster lift trucks has the equipment and trained service personnel to do a complete program of inspection, lubrication, and maintenance.
