ROUGH TERRAIN FORK LIFT SAFETY

OPERATION SAFETY

1.Always inspect the machine daily. Check for leaks, worn hoses, loose belts, broken structures, and loose or missing bolts. Repair or replace any worn, damaged or leaking parts prior to operation of the machine.

2.Only inspect the coolant level when the engine and coolant are cool.

3.Be sure that all guards and screens are secure and in the proper place.

4.Inspect for and clear the work area of any obstructions that could interfere with proper machine operation. Any obstructions that cannot be cleared should be clearly marked and avoided during operation.

5.Refueling:

i.Always stop the engine before refueling the machine.

ii.Fill the fuel tank outdoors.

iii.Handle fuel with care, as it is highly flammable. Do not refuel the machine while smoking or near open flames.

iv.Always clean up spilled fuel.

6.Make sure the machine and access system is clean and free of dirt, oil, grease or debris.

7.When getting on and off the machine, face the machine, use the steps and handrails provided, and always maintain a three point contact.

8.Always remain completely inside the cab enclosure while operating the machine.

9.Always wear the seat belt while operating the machine.

10.Always completely lower the boom with the forks resting on the ground before any work is performed on or around the machine.

11.Do not operate the machine while people are under or near an elevated boom whether the boom is loaded or unloaded. Falling objects from the forks or attachment may cause serious injury or death.
