GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS
I
ROUGH TERRAIN FORKLIFT TRUCK GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS
STUDY THE OPERATOR/SERVICE MANUALS

The information in this manual provides general instructions for the safe operation and maintenance of your
forklift truck. This information is vital and must be clearly understood by the operator and serviceman. Study
this manual and the Rough Terrain Forklift Safety Manual (part no. 422494) thoroughly and carefully before
operating or servicing your forklift. Contact your dealer or Manitou North America, Inc. if you have any ques-
tions concerning your forklift, its operation, service or parts. Keep both manuals in the literature box on the
forklift available for reference. If either manual becomes illegible or is missing, contact your dealer for replace-
ments immediately. This manual cannot cover every situation that might result in an accident. It is the respon-
sibility of the operator to always remain alert for potential hazards and be prepared to avoid them!
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED LITERATURE:

ANSI / ITSDF B56.6 is the national consensus standard for rough terrain forklift trucks. It contains rules about
forklift safety, maintenance, safe operation, training, and supervision. Forklift owners should learn this stan-
dard and make it available for their operators, service personnel, and supervisors. These standards can be
obtained, free of charge, from the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation (ITSDF) on their web-
site at www.itsdf.org. The following references are examples from the standard, addressing forklift operators:
A.) OPERATOR TRAINING QUALIFICATIONS

1.) The user shall ensure that operators understand that safe operation is the operator’s responsibility. The
user shall ensure that operators are knowledgeable of, and observe, all safety rules and practices.
2.) Create an effective operator training program centered around user company’s policies, operating condi-
tions, and rough terrain forklift trucks. The program should be presented completely to all new operators and
not be condensed for those claiming previous experience.
3.) Information on operator training is available from several sources, including rough terrain forklift truck man-
ufacturers, users, government agencies, etc.
4.) An operator training program should consist of the following:
a.) careful selection of the operator, considering physical qualifications, job attitude, and aptitude;
b.) emphasis on safety of stock, equipment, operator, and other personnel;
c.) citing of rules and why they were formulated;
d.) basic fundamentals of rough terrain forklift truck and component design as related to safety, e.g.,
in.-lb (N-m) loading, mechanical limitations, center of gravity, stability, etc.;
e.) introduction to equipment, control locations, and functions. Explain how they work when used
properly and problems when used improperly.
f.) supervise practice on operating course remote from normal activity and designed to simulate
actual operations, e.g., lumber stacking, elevating shingles to the roof, etc.;
g.) oral, written, and operational performance tests and evaluations during and at completion of the
course;
h.) refresher courses, which may be condensed versions of the primary
course, and periodic “on job” operator evaluation;
i.) understanding of nameplate data and operator instructions and warning information appearing on
the rough terrain forklift truck.
B.) GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES

1.) Rough terrain forklift trucks can cause injury if improperly used or maintained.
2.) Only authorized operators trained to adhere strictly to all operating instructions shall be permitted to oper-
ate rough terrain forklift trucks. Unusual operating conditions may require additional safety precautions, train-
ing, and special operating instructions.
3.) Modifications and additions which affect capacity or safe operation shall not be preformed without the man-
ufacturer’s prior written approval. Where such authorization is granted, capacity, operation, and maintenance
instruction plates, tags, or decals shall be changed accordingly.
4.) If the rough terrain forklift truck is equipped with front end attachment(s) or optional forks, the user shall see
that the truck is marked to identify the forks or attachment(s), show the approximate weight of the truck and
fork or attachment combination, and show the capacity of the truck with forks or attachment(s) at maximum
elevation with load laterally centered.
5.) The user shall see that all nameplates and caution and instruction markings are in place and legible.
6.) The user shall consider that changes in load dimension may affect rough terrain forklift truck capacity.
II
ROUGH TERRAIN FORKLIFT TRUCK GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS (cont.)
B.) GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES (cont.)

7.) Where steering can be accomplished with either hand and the steering mechanism is of a type that pre-
vents road reactions from causing the handwheel to spin (power steering or equivalent), steering knobs may
be used. When used, steering knobs shall be of a type that can be engaged by the operator’s hand from the
top and shall be within the periphery of the steering handwheel.
8.) Experience has shown that rough terrain forklift trucks which comply with stability requirements are stable
when properly operated. However, improper operation, faulty maintenance, or poor housekeeping may con-
tribute to a condition of instability and defeat the purpose of the requirements.
9.) Users shall give consideration to special operating conditions. The amount of forward and rearward tilt to
be used is governed by the application. Although the use of maximum rearward tilt is allowable under certain
conditions, such as traveling with the load lowered, the stability of a rough terrain forklift truck as determined
by standardized tests does not encompass consideration for excessive tilt at high elevations or the operation
of trucks with excessive off-center loads.
10.) Some of the conditions which may affect stability are ground and floor conditions, grade, speed, loading
(rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with attachments behave as partially loaded trucks even when operated
without a load on the attachment), dynamic and static forces, improper tire inflation, and the judgement exer-
cised by the operator.
C.) OPERATING SAFETY RULES AND PRACTICES

1.) Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator.
2.) This equipment can be dangerous if not used properly. The operator shall develop safe working habits and
also be aware of hazardous conditions in order to protect himself, other personnel, the rough terrain forklift
truck, and other material.
3.) The operator shall be familiar with the operation and function of all controls and instruments before under-
taking to operate the rough terrain forklift truck.
4.) Before operating any rough terrain forklift truck, truck operators shall have read and be familiar with the
operator’s manual for the particular truck being operated.
5.) Before starting to operate the rough terrain forklift truck:
a.) be in operating position and fasten seat belt;
b.) place directional controls in neutral;
c.) apply brakes;
d.) start engine.
6.) Do not start or operate the rough terrain forklift truck, any of its functions, or attachments from any place
other than the designated operator’s position.
7.) Keep hands and feet inside the operator’s designated area or compartment. Do not put any part of the
body outside the operator compartment of the rough terrain forklift truck.
8.) Never put any part of the body into the mast structure or between the mast and the rough terrain forklift
truck.
9.) Never put any part of the body within the reach mechanism of the rough terrain forklift truck or other attach-
ments.
10.) Understand rough terrain forklift limitations and operate the truck in a safe manner so as not to cause injury
to personnel.
11.) Do not allow anyone to stand or pass under the elevated portion of any rough terrain forklift truck, whether
empty or loaded.
12.) Do not permit passengers to ride on rough terrain forklift trucks.
13.) Check clearance carefully before driving under electrical lines, bridges, etc.
14.) A rough terrain forklift truck is attended when the operator is less than 25 ft (7.6m) from the truck, which
remains in his view.
15.) A rough terrain forklift truck is unattended when the operator is 25ft (7.6m) or more from the truck, which
remains in his view, or whenever the operator leaves the truck and it is not in his view.
16.) Before leaving the operator’s position:
a.) bring rough terrain forklift truck to a complete stop;
b.) place directional controls in neutral;
c.) apply the parking brake;
d.) lower load-engaging means fully, unless supporting an occupied elevated platform;
e.) stop the engine;
f.) if the rough terrain forklift truck must be left on an incline, block the wheels;
g.) fully lower the load-engaging means.
17.) Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms, and other similar working surfaces.
18.) Do no move railroad cars or trailer with a rough terrain forklift truck.
III
C.) OPERATING SAFETY RULES AND PRACTICES (cont.)

19.) Do not use a rough terrain forklift truck for opening or closing railroad car doors.
20.) In areas classified as hazardous, use only rough terrain forklift trucks approved for use in those areas.
21.) Report all accidents involving personnel, building structures, and equipment to the supervisor or as
directed.
22.) Do not add to, or modify, the rough terrain forklift truck.
23.) Do not block access to fire aisles, stairways, and fire equipment.
24.) For rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with a differential lock, the lock should not be engaged when driv-
ing on the road or at high speeds or when turning. If the lock is engaged when turning, there could be loss of
steering control.
25.) Observe all traffic regulations including authorized speed limits. Under normal traffic conditions, keep to
the right, maintain a safe distance, based on speed of travel, from the truck ahead; and keep the truck under
control at all times.
26.) Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks.
27.) Do not pass another truck traveling in the same direction at intersections, blind spots, or at other danger-
ous locations.
28.) Slow down and sound the audible warning device(s) at cross-aisles and other locations where vision is
obstructed.
29.) Cross railroad tracks at an angle wherever possible. Do not park closer than 6 ft (1.8m) to the nearest rail
of a railroad track.
30.) Keep a clear view of the path of travel and observe other traffic, personnel, and safe clearances.
31.) If the load being carried obstructs forward view, travel with the load trailing.
32.) Ascend or descend grades slowly and with caution.
a.) When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5%, loaded rough terrain forklift trucks
should be driven with the load upgrade.
b.) Unloaded rough terrain forklift trucks should be operated on all grades with the load-engaging
means downgrade.
c.) On all grades, the load and load-engaging means shall be tilted back, if applicable, and raised
only as far as necessary to clear the road surface.
d.) Avoid turning, if possible, and use extreme caution on grades, ramps, or inclines; normally
travel straight up or down.
33.) Under all travel conditions, operate the rough terrain forklift truck at a speed that will permit it to be brought
to a stop in a safe manner.
34.) Travel with load-engaging means or load low and, where possible, tilted back. Do not elevate the load
except during stacking.
35.) Make starts, stops, turns, or direction reversals in a smooth manner so as not to shift load and/or overturn
the rough terrain forklift truck.
36.) Do not indulge in stunt driving or horseplay.
37.) Slow down for wet and slippery surfaces.
38.) Before driving over a dockboard or bridge plate, be sure that it is properly secured. Drive carefully and
slowly across the dockboard or bridge plate, and never exceed its rated capacity.
39.) Do not drive rough terrain forklift trucks onto any elevator unless specifically authorized to do so.
Approach elevators slowly, and then enter squarely after the elevator car is properly leveled. Once on the ele-
vator, neutralize the controls, shut off engine, and set brakes. It is advisable that all other personnel leave the
elevator before truck is allowed to enter or leave.
40.) Avoid running over loose objects on the roadway surface.
41.) When negotiating turns, reduce speed to a safe level, and turn steering handwheel in a smooth sweeping
motion. Except when maneuvering at a very low speed, turn the steering handwheel at a moderate, even rate.
42.) Use special care when traveling without load, as the risk of lateral overturning is greater.
43.) Improper use of stabilizer controls (if so equipped) could cause rough terrain forklift truck upset. Always
lower the carriage before operating stabilizer controls.
44.) For rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with lateral leveling:
a.) Always level the frame before raising the boom or mast, with or without a load.
b.) Lateral leveling should not be used to position an elevated load; instead, lower the load and
reposition the rough terrain forklift truck.
45.) Handle only stable or safely arranged loads.
a.) When handling off-center loads which cannot be centered, operate with extra caution.
b.) Handle only loads within the capacity of the rough terrain forklift truck.
c.) Handle loads exceeding the dimensions used to establish rough terrain forklift truck capacity
with extra caution. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected.
IV
C.) OPERATING SAFETY RULES AND PRACTICES (cont.)

46.) When attachments are used, extra care shall be taken in securing, manipulating, positioning, and trans-
porting the load. Operate rough terrain forklift trucks equipped with attachments as partially loaded trucks
when not handling a load.
47.) Completely engage the load with the load-engaging means. Fork length should be at least two-thirds of
load length. Where tilt is provided, carefully tilt the load backward to stabilize the load. Caution should be used
in tilting backward with high or segmented loads.
48.) Use extreme care when tilting load forward or backward, particularly when high tiering. Do not tilt forward
with load-engaging means elevated except to pick up or deposit a load over a rack or stack. When stacking
or tiering, use only enough backward tilt to stabilize the load.
49.) The handling of suspended loads by means of a crane arm (boom) or other device can introduce dynam-
ic forces affecting the stability of a rough terrain forklift truck. Grades and sudden starts, stops, and turns can
cause the load to swing and create a hazard if not externally stabilized. When handling suspended loads:
a.) do not exceed the truck manufacturer’s capacity of the rough terrain forklift truck as equipped
for handling suspended loads.
b.) only lift the load vertically and never drag it horizontally;
c.) transport the load with the bottom of the load and the mast as low as possible;
d.) with load elevated, maneuver the rough terrain forklift truck slowly and cautiously, and only to
the extent necessary to permit lowering to the transport position;
e.) use tag lines to restrain load swing whenever possible.
50.) At the beginning of each shift and before operating the rough terrain forklift truck, check its condition,
giving special attention to:
a.) tires and their inflation pressure
b.) warning devices
c.) lights
d.) lift and tilt systems, load-engaging means, chains, cables, and limit switches
e.) brakes
f.) steering mechanism
g.) fuel system(s)
51.) If the rough terrain forklift truck is found to be in need of repair or in any way unsafe, or if it contributes to
an unsafe condition, the matter shall be reported immediately to the user’s designated authority, and the truck
shall not be operated until it has been restored to safe operating condition.
52.) If during operation the rough terrain forklift truck becomes unsafe in any way, the matter shall be reported
immediately to the user’s designated authority, and the truck shall not be operated until it has been restored to
safe operating condition.
53.) Do not make repairs or adjustments unless specifically authorized to do so.
54.) When refueling, smoking in the area shall not be permitted, the engine shall be stopped, and the opera-
tor shall not be on the rough terrain forklift
truck.
55.) Spillage of oil or fuel shall be carefully and completely absorbed or evaporated and fuel tank cap replaced
before restarting engine.
56.) Do not use open flames when checking electrolyte level in storage batteries, liquid level in fuel tanks, or
the condition of LPG fuel lines and connectors.
57.) Do not lift personnel with the forklift. If the forklift must be used to lift people, precautions for the protec-
tion of the personnel must be taken (see ITSDF B56.6, chapter 5.15 Elevating Personnel).
V
D.) SUSPENDED LOADS

A jib or truss boom should ONLY be used to lift and place loads when the machine is stationary and the frame
is level. Transporting suspended loads must ALWAYS be done slowly and cautiously, with the boom and load
as low as possible. Use taglines to restrict loads from swinging, to avoid overturn.
The handling of suspended loads by means of a truss boom or other similar device can introduce dynamic
forces affecting the stability of the machine that are not considered in the stability criteria of industry test
standards. Grades and sudden starts, stops and turns can cause the load to swing and create a hazard.
Guidelines for “Free Rigging / Suspended Loads”
1. DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the telescopic handler as equipped for handling suspended
loads. The weight of the rigging must be included as part of the load.
2. During transport, DO NOT raise the load more than 12 inches (305 mm) above the ground, or raise
the boom more than 45 degrees.
3. Only lift the load vertically – NEVER drag it horizontally.
4. Use multiple pickup points on the load when possible. Use taglines to restrain the load from swinging
and rotating.
5. Start, travel, turn and stop SLOWLY to prevent the load from swinging. DO NOT exceed walking
speed.
6. Inspect rigging before use. Rigging must be in good condition and in the U.S. comply with OSHA
regulation §1910.184, “Slings,” or §1926.251, “Rigging equipment for material handling.”
7. Rigging equipment attached to the forks must be secured such that it cannot move either sideways or
fore and aft. The load center must not exceed 24 inches (610 mm).
8. DO NOT lift the load with anyone on the load, rigging or lift equipment, and NEVER lift the load over
personnel.
9. Beware of the wind, which can cause suspended loads to swing, even with taglines.
10. DO NOT attempt to use frame-leveling to compensate for load swing.
WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations effective November 8, 2010 (29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart CC - Cranes and Derricks in
Construction) include requirements for employers that use powered industrial trucks ("forklifts") configured
to hoist (by means of a winch or hook) and move suspended loads horizontally. In particular, this regulation
applies to any rough-terrain forklift (e.g., "telescopic handler") equipped with a jib or truss boom with a
hook (with or without a winch), or a hook assembly attached to the forks. [Note: This regulation is in
addition to the OSHA regulation that requires specific forklift operator training: §1910.178(l).]
When a forklift / telescopic handler is configured and used for hoisting, the employer must ensure that:
1. Forklift, lift equipment and rigging have been inspected (each shift, month and year) and are in
good, safe condition and properly installed.
2. An operator's manual and applicable load charts are on the forklift.
3. Work zone ground conditions can support the equipment and load. Any hazardous conditions in the
work area have been identified, and the operator notified.
4. Equipment is being used within its rated capacity and in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
VI
5. Operator and crew members have been trained in the safe use and operation of the equipment,
including how to avoid electrocution.
6. During use, no part of the equipment, load line or load will be within the minimum clearance
distance specified by OSHA [10 feet (3.0 m), and more for lines rated over 50 kV] of any energized
power line, and any taglines used are non-conductive.
7. In addition, for lift equipment with a rated capacity greater than 2000 lbs. (907 kg), the employer
must ensure that:
a.) An accessible fire extinguisher is on the forklift;
b.) Monthly and annual inspections are performed and documented, and records retained (three
months for monthly, one year for annual);
c.) Before November 10, 2014, operators must have had the additional training and qualification /
certification required by OSHA regulations §1926.1427 and §1926.1430.
Note: Refer to the full text of the OSHA crane regulation (29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart CC) for a detailed
description
VII
CONCLUSION:
1.) ATTEND OPERATOR TRAINING CLASSES

The forklift operator must clearly understand all instructions concerning the safe operation of the forklift and all
safety rules and regulations of the work site. They must have successfully completed a training coarse in
accordance with the Powered Industrial Truck Standard (29 CFR 1910.178) as described by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). They must be qualified as to their visual, hearing, physical, and
mental ability to operate the equipment safely. NEVER use drugs or alcohol while operating a forklift! NEVER
operate or allow anyone to operate a forklift when mental alertness or coordination is impaired! An operator
on prescription or over-the-counter drugs must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the
medication that may impair their ability to safely operate the forklift.
2.) CREATE A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

OSHA recommends a maintenance log, listing repairs requested and completed, for each forklift. Also, “lock
out tag procedures” should be utilized. If the forklift malfunctions; park it safely, remove the key, tag “Do Not
Use”, and report the problem to the proper authority or authorized service personnel immediately.
2.) CREATE A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (cont.)

For the best forklift performance and operation, a maintenance program is required. Use the hour meter on
the instrument panel to keep maintenance properly scheduled (see SECTION TWO - “Servicing Schedule”).
For repairs on major components (engine, transmission, etc.), contact your nearest dealer for a Repair Manual.
Do not operate a forklift that is damaged or does not function properly. Only authorized personnel may make
repairs or adjustments to the lift truck. After repairs, the lift truck must be tested for safe operation before
returning to service.
3.) FORKLIFT KNOWLEDGE

Forklift trucks can cause serious injury if improperly used or maintained. Study all of the manuals provided for
your forklift model. Learn the locations and meanings of all safety decals. If any decals are illegible or miss-
ing, have them replaced immediately. Make sure all safety features provided by the original manufacturer are
in place and function properly. Do not operate a forklift with damaged, missing or unsafe components. Have
it repaired by authorized service personnel. Learn the functions of all controls, gauges, indicator lights, etc. on
the forklift. Know the speed/gear ranges, braking and steering capabilities, load ratings and clearances. When
referring to the location of forklift components, the terms “left”, “right”, “front”, and “rear” are related to the oper-
ator seated normally, facing forward in the operator’s seat. If you have any questions about the forklift, con-
sult your supervisor. Failure to fully understand or obey safety warnings can result in serious injury or death!
4.) WORK SITE KNOWLEDGE

Before operating on a work site, learn the rules for movement of people, forklifts and all other traffic. Check
the size, weight, and condition of the loads you will be expected to handle. Verify that they are properly
secured and safe to transport. Learn where the loads are to be placed, planning your route for a safe
approach, watching for hazardous conditions. Will a signal man be required to help place the load? Remove
any debris which may cause tire damage or rupture. Plan your route around problem areas or have them cor-
rected. Inform the supervisor of any unsafe conditions observed at the site. Examples of hazards: power
lines, cables, low clearance structures, garage doors, telephone pole guide lines, fencing, loose lumber, build-
ing materials, drop-offs, trenches, rough/soft spots, oil spills, deep mud, steep inclines, railroad tracks, curbs,
etc.. NEVER approach power lines, gas lines or other utilities with the forklift! Always verify that local,
state/provincial and federal regulations have been met. Report any accidents involving personnel, building
structures, and equipment to the supervisor immediately. Always remain alert - conditions are constantly
changing at the work site!
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
All data provided in this manual is subject to production changes, addition of new models, and improved prod-
uct designs. If a question arises regarding your forklift, please consult your dealer or K-D Manitou, Inc. for the
latest information. When ordering service parts or requesting technical information, be prepared to quote the
applicable Model/Serial Numbers.

SAFETY DECALS
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to the safety messages, decals, and nameplates found on
your forklift truck. The decals are identified by name, part number, location, and a brief description. (The
forklift model logos, and other misc. decals not shown, can be found in your forklift parts manual.) The
decals illustrated may not be exactly the same as those installed on your forklift; installation of the decals
varies depending on the forklift model, series, decal updates, etc.. The size and location of some decals
limit the amount of information that can be placed upon it. For this reason, additional detailed information
not found on the decals is provided through-out this manual.
Every decal placed on the lift truck is important; they are constant reminders of safety and instructions that
should never be taken for granted. Even experienced operators can be seriously injured or killed by ignor-
ing, refusing to enforce, or forgetting to follow safe operating procedures! Do not assume you know all safe-
ty issues concerning the decals. Before operating the lift truck; learn the meaning(s) of the decals as
described in this manual. If any decal becomes illegible or missing, have it replaced immediately! Always
replace decals using the same decal part no., unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. For replace-
ment decals not found in your parts manual, contact your nearest dealer. If you have any questions, contact
your supervisor or nearest dealer for advice before operating your forklift!

ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PAR TS AND ATTACHMENTS
All maintenance on our lift trucks must be carried out using

original parts.
By allowing non-original parts to be used, you run the risk:
- Legally, of being liable in the event of an accident.

- Technically, of causing breakdowns to occur or of reducing your lift truck's service life.
Using counterfeit parts or components not approved by the manufacturer may put an
end to contract warranty terms and lead the maker to withdraw the lift truck's certificate
of compliance.
By using original parts during maintenance operations, you are legally cover-
ing yourself.
- Any user who procures parts from another quarter does so at his own risk.
- Any user who modifies his lift truck or has it modified by a service company, must con-
sider that a new item of equipment has been brought onto themarket and therefore
takes liability for it.
- Any user who copies original parts or has them copied is taking a risk from the legal
viewpoint.
- The certificate of compliance only bindsthe maker for parts chosen or produced under
the maker's control.
- The practicalities of maintenance terms are set out by the maker. The maker is in no
way liable in the event of the user not complying with such terms.
The manufacturer brings to the user:
- His know-how and skill.

- Guaranteed quality work.
- Original replacement parts.
- Help with preventive maintenance.
- Effective help with diagnosing faults.
- Enhancements gained from feedback.
- Training for operating staff.
- Only the manufacturer knows thedetails of the lift truck design and therefore has the
best technological capability to carry out maintenance.
Original replacement parts are distributed exclusively

by MANITOU and its dealer network.

- Increased stopping distance.
The user must remain in full control of his lift truck and should :
- Adapt his speed to each situation in order to be maintain his own safety, that of oth-
ers and of his equipment.
- Always be aware of his stopping distance.
On the basis of experience, there are a number of possible situations in which operating
the lift truck is contra-indicated. Such foreseeable abnormal uses,
the main ones being listed below, are strictly forbidden.
- The foreseeable abnormal behaviour resulting from ordinary neglect, but does not
result from any wish to put the machinery to any improper use.
- The reflex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. during
operation of the lift truck.
- Behaviour resulting from application of the "principle of least action" when performing a
task.

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
A - General.
- Check conformity of the accessories to the vehicle safety system calibration
- Ensure the correct functioning of your lift truck’s attachments.
- Do not carry out operations which exceed the capacity of the lift truck or the accessory.
- It is prohibited to increase thecounterweight value in any way.
- It is strictly prohibited to carry or to lift up persons using the lift truck, unless the vehicle
is specially equipped for this purpose and has the corresponding certificate of confor-
mance for lifting people.
- Avoid travelling for a long distance in reverse.
- When lifting or lowering the boom ensure the control lever is moved slowly
and smoothly (whether operating with or without a load).
B - Attachments.
- Ensure that the attachment is correctly fitted and locked to its frame.
- Conform to the limits on the load chart for the attachment.
- Position the forks perpendicular to the load to be lifted, taking account of the load’s
centre of gravity.
- Never lift a load with a single fork.
- Never lift a sling load with a single fork or with the carriage. Optional solutions exist,
consult your dealer.
- If not utilise, place the attachment in horizontal on the ground (For unstable attach-
ments, ensure they are secured using wedges).
- Place the attachments in the closed position, flat on level ground (for unstable attac
ments secure using wedges).
- Ensure that rapid hydraulic connections on the attachment system are clean and pro-
tected.
Carry out the following procedure before changing hydraulic attachments to prevent
damage to the quick release couplings :
- Switch off the engine.

- turn key to position I
- release pressure from the circuit using the joystick
10
C - Environment.
- Verify that the lighting in suitable
- Ensure that no person or objet is in the vicinity before raising the load.
Don’t make any incorrect manoeuvres.
- In the case of work near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient
between the working area of the lift truck and the aerial line.
You must consult your local electrical agency.
You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the lift truck too
close to power cables. You are strongly advised to ensure that the safety rules on the
site conform to the local regulations in force regarding all types of work carried out close
to power cables.
- Do not allow anybody to come near the working area of the lift truck or pass beneath
an elevated load.
- When using the lift truck on a slope, before raising the jib, ensure that the ground is
horizontal. However, fork lift trucks provided with level correctors and/or stabilizers can
operate on transverse slopes, provided this slope is corrected (See paragraph: G -
LIFT TRUCK HORIZONTALITY in the Chapter: HANDLING A LOAD).
- Travelling on a longitudinal slope :
• Drive and brake gently.
• Moving without load : Forks or attachment facing downhill.
• Moving with load : Forks or attachment facing uphill.
- Ensure that scaffolding, loading platform or pile are capable of bearing the weight.
- Ensure the stability and solidity of the ground before depositing a load.
D - Handling
- Always consider safety and only transport balanced and correctly secured loads to
avoid any risk of tipping.
- Fully engage forks under the load and move it in the transport position (The forks 300
mm from the ground, the jib retracted to the maximum and the carriage sloping back-
wards).
- For obvious reasons regarding the lift truck’s stability and clear visibility of the sur-
rounding environment, only move the lift truck when the jib is in the transport position.
- Do not manoeuvre the lift truck with the jib in the raised position unless under excep-
tional circumstances and then with extreme caution, at very low speed and using gen-
tle braking. Ensure that visibility is adequate and get another person to guide you
along if necessary.
- Never shift the position of the load while the lift truck is in motion.
- Never drive too fast or brake abruptly when carrying a load.
- During handling, drive at low speed.
- Check the load, particularly when turning corners and especially if it is very bulky.
- Secure unstable loads.
- Handle loads with caution, at slow speed, without sudden jerks when moving them at
significant heights and jib extention.
In the event of high winds or storms, do not carry out handling work that jeopardizes the
stability of the lift truck and its load,
- Do not change direction sharply and at high speed.
11
In the event of the lift truck overturning, do not try to leave the cab.
DO NOT TRY TO JUMP CLEAR STAY IN THE CAB WITH YOUR SEAT BELT
FASTENED.
- Apply the parking brake when lifting or depositing a difficult load or when on an incline.
- Do not stop the lift truck with the load in an elevated position.
- Do not leave a laden lift truck with the parking brake applied on an incline which
exceeds 15 %.
E - Visibility.
- Constantly keep clear visibility of the road, either direct view (looking backwards when
reversing) or indirect view using the panoramic rear view mirrors to check for people,
animals, holes, obstacles, change of slope, etc.
- Since visibility can be reduced on the right side when the jib is raised, ensure clear vis-
ibility of the road before raising the jib and before undertaking any manoeuvres.
- If the visibility in forward motion is not sufficient because of the bulkiness of the load,
drive in reverse motion. This manoeuvre must remain exceptional and for short dis-
tances.
- Ensure you have good visibility (Clean windows, adequate lighting,
correctly adjusted rear view mirror, etc.).
- Signalling and lighting on the lift truck must take account of the conditions of use.
The standard lighting system may not be sufficient for certain applications or night time
road use.
Optional accessories are available.
12
LOAD HANDLING
A - Weight of load and centre of gravity.
A
Carrying a load greater than the rated capacity for the lift truck or for the attachment is
48 in
prohibited.
- Before taking up a load, you must know its weight and its centre of gravity.
- The load chart relating to your lift truck is valid for a weight with its centre of gravity
48 in. from the heel of the forks (Fig. A). For a load with a higher centre of grav-
ity, consult your agent or dealer.
- For irregular loads, determine the centre of gravity in the transverse direction before
handling (Fig. B). B
For loads with a moving centre of gravity (e.g. liquids), take account of the variations
in the centre of gravity in order to determine the load to be handled (Consult your
agent or dealer) and be vigilant and take extra care to limit these variations as far as
possible.
B - Taking up a load on the ground.

C
- Position the lift truck perpendicular to the load, with the jib retracted and the forks in
a horizontal position (Fig. C).
- Adjust the fork spread and centering in connection with the load (Fig. D) (Optional
solutions exist, consult your dealer).
D
Beware of the risks of trapping or squashing limbs when manually adjusting the forks.
Always maintain an equal distance between the forks and the centre of the carriage in
order to keep the load completely stable.
- Slowly move the life truck forward (1) and stop with the forks in front of the load E
(Fig. E), if necessary, slightly lift the jib (2) while taking up the load.
- Apply the parking brake and place the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Slightly lift the load (1), tilt the carriage backwards (2) in the transport position (Fig.
F).
Inclinare sufficientemente il carico all’indietro per assicurarne la stabilità (perdita del

F
carico durante la frenata) facendo però attenzione a non modificarne l’equilibrio.
13
C - Taking up a high load.
A load MUST NOT be picked up unless the lift truck is on a level surface (See para-
graph: G - LIFT TRUCK HORIZONTALITY in the Chapter: HANDLING A LOAD).
- Ensure that the forks will easily pass under the load.
- Position the lift truck perpendicular to the load with the forks in a horizontal position
(Fig. G) manoeuvring gently and carefully (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in the chap-
ter : HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS for visibility of the road).
H
Always think about keeping the distance necessary to fit the forks under the load,
between the pile and the lift truck (Fig. G) and use the shortest possible length of jib.
- Stop with the forks in front of the load (Fig. H). Action the parking brake and place the
forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Slightly lift the load (1) and incline the forks carriage (2) backwards to stabilize the load I
(Fig. I).
Tilt the load sufficiently backwards to ensure its stability (loss of load on braking) without
upsetting the balance of the load in so doing.
J
- If possible (Fig. J), lower the load without shifting the lift truck. Lift the jib (1) to release
the load, retract (2) and lower the jib (3) to bring the load into the transport position
(Fig. J).
K
- If this is not possible, back the lift truck up (Fig. K). Manoeuvring very gently and care-
fully (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in the chapter : HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS for
visibility of the road), back up the lift truck (1) to release the load, retract (2) and lower
the jib (3) to bring the load into the transport position (Fig. K).
14

D - Laying a high load.
L
Under no circumstances should you lay down a load if the lift truck is not a horizontal
position. (See paragraph : G - HORIZONTAL POSITION OF THE LIFT TRUCK in the
chapter : LOAD HANDLING).
- Approach the load in the transportposition in front of the pile (Fig. L).
M
- Lift and extend the jib (1) (2) until the load is above the pile, if necessary move the lift
truck forward (3) (Fig. M) manoeuvring very gently and carefully (See paragraph : E -
VISIBILITY in the chapter : HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS for visibility of the road). Apply
the parking brake and place the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Place the load in a horizontal position and lay it down on the pile by lowering and N
retracting the jib (1) (2) in order to position the load correctly (Fig. N).
- Free the forks by alternately retracting and lifting the jib (3) (Fig. N) or, if possible, by
reversing the lift truck (3) (See paragraph : E - VISIBILITY in the chapter : HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS for visibility of the road). Then bring the jib into the transport position.
E - Taking up a load without pallet

O
- Tilt the carriage (1) forwards and extend the jib (2) while simultaneously crowding the
carriage backwards to slip the forks under the load (Fig. O).
If necessary, wedge the load.
F - Load status indicator.
- Always watch the load status indicator while handling a load.
If the load status indicator alarm is actived, do not carry out:

A - Extend the jib.
B - Lower the jib. P
- If the load status indicator alarm is actived, carry out in all security movements in the
following order (Fig. P) :
1 - Fully retract the jib.
2 - If it’s necessary lift the jib.
3 - Lower the jib in order to lay the load.
The device reading may be false if the steering is turned to the maximum or if the rear
axle is swung to the maximum. Before lifting a load, always make sure the steering is
not turned all the way and that the rear axle is not swung completely.
15
Lift truck with level corrector.
- Correct the slope using the hydraulic control and check the horizontal position on
the level before lifting the boom(See chapter : INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
in paragraph : 2 - DESCRIPTION).
Apart from the transverse slope of the ground, several parameters can upset the
horizontal position of the lift truck.
• The tyre pressures.
• The stability of the ground.
• The balance of the load.
• Strong wind or stormy conditions.
Before any handling work, check the points above and ensure that the lift truck is com-
pletely horizontal.

BEFORE STAR TING UP A NEW LIFT TRUCK
Introduction.
- Our lift trucks have been designed for easy handling by the operator and maximum
ease of maintenance for the mechanic.
- However, before commencing to operate the lift truck, the user should carefully read
and understand the various chapters of this manual which has been provided to solve
driving and maintenance problems. By following these instructions the user will be able
to take full advantage of the versatility of this lift truck.
- The operator must familiarize himself with the positions and functions of all the controls
and instruments before operating the lift truck.
Do not attempt to start a new lift truck before the following checks have been carried
out:
Lubrication.
- Check that all the correct grades of oils and greases that are required are available ;
see chapter : SERVICING SCHEDULE in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE and top up
if necessary.
For operation under average climatic conditions, i.e. : between -15 °C and + 35 °C, cor-
rect levels of lubricants in all the circuits are checked in production. For operation under
more severe climatic conditions, before starting up, it is necessary to drain all the circuits,
then ensure correct levels of lubricants using lubricants properly suited to the relevant
ambient temperatures. It is the same for the cooling liquid (Contact your dealer for infor-
mation, if necessary).
Dry air filter.
- Ensure that the air filter is undamaged and not blocked.

- Tighten the fastening devices if necessary.
Never run the I.C. engine with the air filter removed or damaged.
Cooling circuit.
- Always check the cooling liquid level before starting up the lift truck.
Hydraulic circuit
- Visually check for oil leakage or sweating on the couplings, hose pipes, pipes and
unions. Tighten or check the defective connections, if necessary.
- Also check the oil level in the tank.
19
Braking system.
- Check by a visual examination that there are no leaks or oil oozing in the hoses, con-
nections and unions. If necessary, tighten or repair the defective connections.
- Also check the oil level in the tank.
Use only the recommended brand of oil to avoid risk of damage to the brakes circuit
(see Chapter LUBRICANTS in part: 3 - MAINTENANCE).
Tyres.
- Make sure that the wheel nuts are correctly tightened (See chapter : A - DAILY OR
EVERY 10 HOURS SERVICE in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE) and that the tyre
pressures are correct (See chapter : CHARACTERISTICS in paragraph : 2 -
DESCRIPTION).
Fuel system.
- Check that all fuel lines are secured.

- If necessary drain the fuel filter and bleed the fuel system of air.
Electrical circuit.
- Check the level and the density of the electrolyte in the battery (See chapter : B -
EVERY 50 HOURS SERVICE in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE).
- Check the components of the electrical system, the connections and fastening devices.

USEFUL ADVICE
Regardless of the operator’s experience in this sector, he must learn the position and
function of all instruments and controls on board before putting the fork-lift truck into operation.
When the ignition key is turned without starting the engine, a test is automatically performed on the instrumen-
tation: all the lights come on and a beeper sounds. All this stops once the engine has started.
A check must be made on all the truck’s instruments immediately after start-up once the engine has warmed
up and at regular intervals during use, so that any malfunctions can be noted at once and put right without
delay. If the instrument is not giving a correct reading, stop the engine and take the necessary measures to
restore correct operation immediately.
Using the fork-lift truck without following these recommendations may have dangerous consequences.
7
1 - DRIVER’S SEAT (STANDARD)
FOR ENHANCED COMFORT, THIS SEAT ALLOWS VARIOUS

ADJUSTMENTS.
1
2
WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The seat should be adjusted to the driver’s weight with no-one sitting on it.
- Take the seat notch 1 as reference.
- Turn the knob 2 as appropriate to the driver’s weight.
N.B. : To avoid health problems, the weight setting should be checked and
adjusted before the truck is put into operation.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT

Bring the seat to the desired position, until the catch is heard to engage. If the
seat is raised above the last catch, it will return to the lowest position.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT ANGLE

The seat angle can be regulated individually.
- Press the button on the left and at the same time push or release the seat to
obtain the position desired.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT POSITION

The seat position can be regulated individually.
- Press the button on the right and move the seat forward or
back to obtain the position desired.
SEAT BACK EXTENSION

- The height of the seat back extension can be adjusted (the catches can be
heard) until the stop is reached.
- The seat back extension can be removed by pulling until it moves beyond the
last stop.
BACK SUPPORT
This allows adjustment of both the seat conform level and the driver’s freedom
of movement.
- Turn the knob to the right or left to adjust the height and depth of the back
support.
8

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BACK ANGLE
- Lean against the back, pull the lever and move the seat back into the
position desired
If the back is not held in place when adjusted, it will tip completely forward.
LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT
- Engage the locking lever in the position desired. Once locked in place, the
seat cannot be adjusted further.
CLEANING
Dirt may prevent the seat from functioning correctly; it must therefore always be
kept clean.
- To clean or replace the cushions, simply extract them from the
frame of the seat.
Risk of accident are increased when the seat tips up!
Take care not to wet the cushions’ fabric when cleaning them. First check the
fabric’s resistance to the normal detergents for fabrics and plastics, on a con-
cealed surface.
2 - SEAT BELTS
- Sit on the seat correctly.

- Check that the seat belt is not twisted.
- Place the belt over your pelvis, not over your stomach.
- Fasten the seat belt and check that it is firmly engaged.
- Adjust the belt to your physique, so that it does not apply excess pressure
to your pelvic region.
The fork-lift truck may never be used if the seat belt is faulty (mounts, fasten-
ing, seams, tears, etc.). Repair or replace the seat belt immediately.

5
A - EVERY DAY EVERY 10 WORKING HOURS
A 1 - CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Before checking the oil level, make sure that the engine is
stopped and that the truck is on a flat, horizontal surface.
To obtain accurate information, wait for a few minutes after the
2
engine stops so that the oil flows into the engine sump.
Remove the dipstick “1” (fig. A1), clean it and check the oil level.
Top up if necessary by removing the filler cap “2” (fig. A1).
A 2 - CHECK THE COOLING LIQUID LEVEL
This is done on the cooling liquid tank in the engine compartment.

FIG. A1
There are two notches on the tank to indicate a minimum and a
maximum; check to make sure the liquid level is always between
these values.
ATTENTION: Open the cap to top up the cooling system only if

the temperature of the liquid is less than 90°C/194°F.
In any case, it is obligatory to use protective gloves and clothing
as well as safety goggles.
If topping up is required, operate carefully, as follows:

- Turn cap “1” (fig. A2) anticlockwise gradually to the safety stop
position.
- Release the pressure and the steam.
- Press the cap and remove it by rotating it.
1
If necessary, add water and antifreeze liquid.

Occasionally grease the radiator cap “1” (fig. A2) to facilitate its
removal.
ATTENTION: Before topping up, wait for the cooling liquid tem- FIG. A2
perature to drop below 50° C/122° F.
6

A 3 - CHECK THE FUEL LEVEL
Place the truck on a horizontal surface with the engine stopped.
To minimise the condensation due to weather conditions, the

fuel tank should be kept full as far as possible.
- Remove the cap “1” (Fig. A3).

- Through the filler intake, fill the tank with clean Diesel fuel, fil-
1
tered by a rose pipe or a clean cloth which does not leave
residues.
- Replace the cap “1” (Fig. A3).
FIG. A3
Never smoke or approach with naked lights during filling or when
the tank is open.
Never fill up with the engine running.
A 4 - TYRE PRESSURE AND WHEEL NUT TIGHTNESS
Check the tyre pressure and adjust if necessary A4

(see “Characteristics” section).
Check the tyres for any cuts, bulges, signs of wear, etc.
WHEEL NUT TORQUE LOADING
Check the tightness of the wheel nuts (see Fig. A4).

Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage
and breakage of the wheel fixing nuts, leading to accidents.
A 5 - CHECK THE TELESCOPIC BOOM SLIDE RAILS
Extend the telescopic boom completely.

Check to ensure the telescopic boom slide rails are greased prop-
erly.
If necessary, clean and grease the telescopic boom slide rails
(see B4).

Slacken nut 1(Fig. B1/1) and remove cover 2 (Fig. B1/1).

Slacken nut 3 (Fig. B1/2) which fixes cartridge 4 (Fig. B1/2).
Clean the filter cartridge using a jet of compressed air directed from insi- 1
de outwards.
Clean the inside of the filter housing using a clean, damp cloth that does
not leave residue, protecting the inlet tube to the I.C. engine. Check the 2
condition of the cartridge. FIG. B1/1
Cartridges that are no longer efficient must be replaced immediately.
Refit cartridge 4 (Fig. B1/2) inside the filter and fix it by means of nut 3
(Fig. B1/2).
Refit cover 2 (Fig. B1/1) with the valve facing downwards and lock it by
means of nut 1 (Fig. B1/1).
Never wash an air filter cartridge. 4
FIG. B1/2
B 2 - CHECK THE HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL.
Place the truck on a flat surface with the engine off and the telescopic
boom retracted and as low as possible.
Refer to the gauge “1” (fig. B2/1).
The oil level is correct when it is 3/8 in. under the maximum of the upper 1
and lower marks.

If necessary, top up with oil (see “OILS - GREASES -
FLUIDS - FUEL - FILTERS” table) through the filler hole “2” (fig. B2/2).
The oil must always be kept topped up to the maximum level, since cool-
ing improves as the oil passes through the tank. FIG. B2/1
B 3 - CLEAN THE OIL/WATER RADIATOR GRILLE
To prevent the radiator from clogging (water radiator fig. B3/1 ; oil radiator 1
fig. B3/2), it must be cleaned with a jet of compressed air from the inside
towards the outside.
This is the only way to clean off the debris.

G 5 - ADJUST THE FRONT HEADLAMPS
Recommended setting(As per standard ECE-76/756 76/761 ECE20)

Set to - 2% of the dipped beam in relation to the horizontal line of the headlamp.
Adjusting procedure
- Place the lift truck unloaded and in the transport position and perpendicular to a white wall on flat, level
ground (Fig. G5).
- Check the tyre pressures (See chapter : A4 - CHECK THE TYRE PRESSURES AND THE WHEEL NUTS
TORQUE in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE).
- Put the gear reverser lever in neutral and action the parking brake.
Calculating the height of the dipped beam (h2) (FIG. G5)
h1 = Height of the dipped beam in relation to the ground.

h2 = Height of the adjusted beam.
l = Distance between the dipped beam and the white wall.
h2 = h1- (l x 2/100)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Starter motor.
The starter motor is installed on the left of the engine and no maintenance is required except cleaning and
tightening of the terminals. If the starter motor does not work properly, consult your agent or dealer.
Alternator.
The alternator is installed on the left of the motor. The alternator and regulator are designed to operate in a
system polarised in one direction only, so the following precautions must be taken when working on the battery
charging circuit; otherwise, serious damage may be caused to the electrical equipment:
Never operate the alternator with the circuit open; ensure that all terminals are firmly tightened.
It is important not to remove the terminals on the back of the alternator while the engine is running, as this
may damage the alternator itself.
When fitting a battery, check that the connections are correctly polarised. It is essential for the cable marked
(+) to be connected to the positive terminal (+) of the battery and the cable marked (-) to be connected to the
negative terminal (-) on the battery, and that there is a ground connection.
If a second battery is used to start the engine, always connect terminals of the same polarity (Fig. A). Fit a
battery with the same voltage as that installed on the truck.
If an external charger is used, always connect the (+) wire of the charger to the (+) terminal of the battery and
the (-) wire of the charger to the (-) terminal of the battery and ground connection.
Never short-circuit the alternator terminals or connect them to ground.
Never reverse the alternator connection on the battery.

Never remove or replace an electrical connection while the engine is running.
If electric-arc welding is carried out on the truck, directly connect the welder negative wire to the piece to be
welded, to ensure that the high voltage current cannot pass through the alternator, and then disconnect the
battery.

FUSE AND RELAY BOX
The electric circuit is protected by fuses mounted in the fuse box.

To change a fuse, remove it and replace it with a new one with the same quality and calibration values.
If a power failure occurs, check all the fuses and verify if a short-circuit has occurred.
DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR A BURNED FUSE.

LIGHTING
A blown bulb must be changed immediately. Do not handle a new bulb with bare or dirty fingers.
Any traces of grease, oil or sweat will evaporate when the bulb is hot and stain the reflector.
Never touch or attempt to polish the reflector. Just open the headlamp to change the bulb.
BATTER Y
Battery efficiency becomes progressively lower as the ambient temperature drops, until it practically ceases to
function at -40°F.
Never attempt to use the starter motor if the battery has been exposed to temperatures of around -20°F.
In these cases, heat the battery by immersing it in lukewarm water to 2 in. below the cell caps.
If the temperatures are very low, remove the battery from the truck and store it in a warm place until it is requi-
red.

in the harmonized rules EN 1459 for the truck with variable capacity and EN 1726-1 for the forklift.
Do not use interchangeable accessories not originally included in the machine supply.
For subsequent requests for implementation of machine functions using other accessories, before starting up
the machine, the user must request inspection for suitability for use by an authorized MANITOU technician,
who will check the correct working and updating of the documentation necessary for using the new accessory.
It is only after this inspection that a new “CE” conformity certificate will be issued for the machine indicating
only the new accessories installed.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE OF A LIFT-TRUCK
WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL :
CAUTION ! TAKE CARE ! YOUR SAFETY OR THAT OF THE TRUCK

IS AT STAKE.
- Follow the data provided in the load diagram. Never attempt to raise loads greater than those permitted in
the load diagrams supplied with the machine.
- Transport the load in low position with the telescopic boom fully retracted.
- Drive the truck at a speed suitable to the conditions and the state of the ground.
- When the truck is empty, travel with the telescopic boom lowered and fully retracted.
- Never go too fast or brake sharply with a load.
- When the load is lifted, check that no-one can get in the way of the operation and take care not to carry out
incorrect procedures.
- Never attempt operations which exceed the lift-truck’s capacity.
- Take care over electrical cables.
- Never leave the truck parked with a raised load.
- Never authorise anyone to approach or pass under the load.
- Always think of safety and only transport well balanced loads.
- Never leave the truck loaded with the parking brake engaged on gradients exceeding 15%.
- With the winch or equipment with a load hanging from the hook, always adopt the following precautions :
- Position the winch perpendicular to the load to be lifted.
- The empty hook must be lowered slowly (gently) since if it is operated too quickly the
cable wound round the drum may become slack, causing serious problems for the cable,
the limit stop device, etc.
- If the cable tends to become twisted around the block, release the fixed end hook, pull
the cable in the opposite direction until the twisting is eliminated, then re-connect the end
unit.
- Operate the control lever gently to prevent jerking of the load and possible problems in the winding of the
cable onto the drum.
- Raise the load vertically, avoiding swaying and slanting lifting.
- Check the cable daily; if it is worn or damaged or has even one broken strand (see ISO 4309), replace it
immediately (contact your dealer).
- Check that the hydraulic hook raising and lowering limit stop is in good working order and
that the brake holds with load applied.
- Oil the revolving part of the hook periodically.
- Check periodically that the cable is winding onto the drum correctly.
- The following accessories are not intended for systems for lifting or moving people.
- Before putting the winch or any other equipment in which the load hangs from a hook into service, report it to
the relative authority (ISPEL) in your zone for checking (for Italy only).
- Every year, remember to request your local health authority (USL) for a visit of inspection (Italy only).
It is forbidden to lift hanging loads using fork accessories or other supports not meant for this func-
tion (Contact your agent or dealer, see crane accessories list).

Using the machine outfitted with hoist
1
When all the green, yellow and red LEDs (Fig. A-Ref. 1) on the truck stabilization
control instrument light up, the hydraulic commands are automatically blocked.
Only the boom retraction, fork inclination and hoist rope descent commands
are authorized. Do not turn key “30” (page 23 - paragraph 2) for excluding auto-
matic blocking of movements as this must be done only for operation with shovel.
FIG. A
Before putting the winch into operation on the lift-truck check that the machine is compatible and that its safety
system is set appropriately for the type of winch required.
CAUTION
Incorrect setting of the safety system may put your safety at serious risk; if in doubt, do not hesitate to contact
your dealer immediately.
In view of their size, when the boom is lowered and retracted some accessories may interfere with the front
tyres and damage them if the board is tilted downward.
TO ELIMINATE THIS RISK, EXTEND THE TELESCOPIC SYSTEM FAR ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE THE
INTERFERENCE (THE DISTANCE WILL DEPEND ON THE TRUCK AND THE ACCESSORY.
The maximum loads are defined by the lift-truck’s capacity, bearing in mind the weight and centre of gravity of
the accessory. If the capacity of the accessory is below that of the lift-truck, never exceed this limit.
Before putting any type of accessory into operation on the fork-lift truck check the machine’s compatibility and
the calibration of the safety system with regard to the accessory used.

ACCESSORY WITHOUT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND MANUAL LOCKING
ENGAGING THE ACCESSORY

- Check that the accessory is in a position which simplifies connection
of the snap coupling. If it is badly positioned, take the necessary
precautions to move it in the conditions of maximum safety.
- Check that the locking pin is engaged in the support provided on the
frame.
- Position the lift-truck with the boom lowered squarely in front of and
parallel to the accessory and tilt the snap coupling forward (Fig.A).
- Bring the snap coupling into position below the accessory’s connec-
tion pipe, raise the boom slightly and tilt the connection back to posi-
tion the accessory (Fig.B).
- Raise the accessory off the ground for easier engagement.
MANUAL LOCKING
- Take the locking pin on the support and fix the accessory (Fig.C). Do Fig. A
not forget to fit the split-pin.
MANUAL RELEASE
- Proceed in reverse direction to the MANUAL LOCKING procedure,
taking care to replace the locking pin in the support on the frame.
