Safety Practices
12. Falling Load Hazard
DO NOT exceed the total rated load capacity of the specific type fork
being used. Each fork is stamped with a maximum load capacity. If the
capacity is exceeded, forks may break. See “Fork Ratings” on page 87.
DO NOT downshift at a high ground speed. Sudden slowing can cause
the load to drop off the forks.
13. Ventilation
DO NOT operate this vehicle in an area with flammable dust or vapors
unless good ventilation has removed the hazard. Sparks from the
electrical system and the engine exhaust can cause an explosion.
Carbon monoxide fumes from the engine exhaust can cause suffocation
in an enclosed area. Good ventilation is very important when operating
this vehicle.
