‘The tite pressure is extremely high, 80 caution is needed when handling tires.
+The whee! is fitted with mounting (lug) nuts. It also has rim nuts and bolts used to join the rim
halves, When removing the tire from the lift truck, do not loosen the rim nuts and bolts, The tire is
Under high pressure, and there is a significant risk that the rim quts and bolts may fly off. Relieve
‘ire inflation pressure before removing,
‘When the tires have been replaced, carry out a test drive and check again for any loose mounting
bolts. Ifthe tightening torque is low, tighten to the specified torque:
replacing tires)
+ Do not go under the fork i tuck when I's jacked up.
+ Check the folowing before jacking up the it truck. (For deta,
see 3-page 41)
41) Check that there is no one on the lit ruck
2) Check that there is no load on the forks
+ When jacking up, stop when the tires come off the ground sur-
face, Put biocks Under both sides of the frame to prevent the lit
tiuck from coming down
+ Put blocks Under any tires contacting the ground to prevent the
lift ruck from mving
+ Lift truck slinging work should be carried out by a qualified
person who has completed a course in correct liting meth:
ods.
+ Fit wire ropes to the spectfied liting points,
+ When lifting the lift truck, check that the wire ropes have
ample strength and are not damaged.
+ Block the tires contacting the ground to prevent the lit truck
from moving.
+ Insert blocks to prevent the lif truck from coming down,
+ Do not go under the lit truck during the lifting operation.
+ Ifthe specified lifting point is the counterweight. check that
the counterweight mounting bolts are tightened to the speci
fied torque before carrying out the lifting operation. Check
also that there is no damage to the lifting portion on the coun-

AA WARNING | PRECAUTIONS WHEN CHARGING
When the battery is charged, hydrogen gas is generated and the battery is heated by the chemical
change. To prevent the danger of gas explosion, aways do as follows:
+ Carry out the charging operation in a well-ventilated place,
+ Do not smoke or allow any flame,
+ Start the charging operation when the temperature of the battery electrolyte is below 95° F (35° C),
Ifthe electrolyte temperature goes above 122° F (50° C) during the charging operation, wait for
to go down below 85° F (35° C) before starting charging operation again
+ When using a battery charger to charge the battery, take the battery caps off
A WARNING | STARTING WITH BOOSTER CABLES
ALWAYS wear safety glasses or goggles when starting the if truck with booster (jumper) cables
When starting using the battery of another it truck, do not allow the two lit trucks to touch.
‘Stop the engine before connecting the cables.
Be extremely careful not tole! the cables get caught in the fan or fan belt,
Connect the batteries in parallel; positive-to-positive and negative-to-negatve. NEVER connect
postive to negative
+ DO NOT short-circuit the starter terminals to start a forklift truck
A WARNING | 20 NOT PUSH START
+ Do not push the lit truck to start the engine. There is danger that the lift ruck may suddenly start
and operate unexpectedly,
A WARNING | HANDLING BRAKE FLUID
I is dangerous if the brakes do not work because, in this condition, the lif truck cannot be stopped,
‘Always do the following
+ Check the level of the brake fluid periodically,
‘Aways use the specified brake fluid,
+ Check that the breather of the brake fluid reserve tank is not clogged.
+ Be careful not to let dirt or cust get nto the brake fluid reserve tank,

11. STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK
(TO PREVENT LIFT TRUCK FROM TIPPING)
‘To operate the lift truck safely, it is important to understand the structure and stability of the lift
truck,
CAUTION | STRUCTURE OF LIFT TRUCK
AA forklift truck consists basically of the lifting mechanism (the
forks and mast) al the front and the it truck itself (with tes) at
the rear,
‘The front wheels of the lift truck act as the fulcrum, and the center
of gravity of the lit truck and center of gravity of the load are kept
in balance,
‘The relationship between the position of the center of gravity of
the tit truck and the center of gravity of the load is extremely
Important for maintaining the safety of the ult truck
‘The loads carried by forklift trucks come in various shapes
(and weights) from boxes to planks and tong objects, To
judge the stability of the lift truck, it is important to distinguish
shapes,

the position of the center of gravity for loads of vanous = |__
A CAUTION | CENTER OF GRAVITY OF LOAD
OM073 = AX/BX Op & Maint11, STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK
The stabilly of the lit truck is determined by the position of
the combined center of gravity resulting from the combination
Of the centers of gravity ofthe lit truck and the load,
When the lif truck is carrying no load, the center of gravity
remains as itis, but when the If truck is loaded, the com-
bined center of gravity becomes the combination of the cen-
ters of gravity of both the lif truck and the load
‘The position of the center of gravity of the load changes
according to whether the mast Is tied forward or back or
whether the mast is raised or lowered.
‘The position of the combined center of gravity of the lift truck
is governed by the following factors:
+” Size, weight, shape of load
Lifting height
Tiling angle of mast
Inflation pressure of tres
Acceleration, deceleration, tuming radius
Condition of road surface, angle of road

CAUTION | STABLE RANGE OF CENTER OF GRAVITY
Stable range
For the lit truck to be stable, the position of the combined center of
(gravity must be inside the triangle (stable range of center of gravity)
formed by the ground contact points of the left and right front tres.
‘and the center of the rear axle,
IF the position of the overall center of gravity is in front of the front
axle, the front tires will form the fulcrum and the lit truck wil tip to
the front. If the position of the combined center of gravity moves.
‘outside the triangle forming the stable area for the center of gravity,
the lift truck will tp in the direction where the combined center of
gravity moves outside of the triangle,
M073 = AX/BX Op & Maint ‘01140411, STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF THE LIFT TRUCK
AA CAUTION | MAXIMUM LOAD (weight and center of gravity of load)
‘The horizontal distance between the center of gravity of the
load on the forks and the load backrest of the forks, oF the front
face of the forks (whichever is shorter}, is called the load cen-
ter
‘The maximum load is the maximum weight of the foad that can
be loaded at the standard load center. The relationship
‘8001620
between the maximum load and the load center is given in the
load capacity charts on the nameplate on the lif truck. If the
load center moves to the front of the forks. the overall center of,
gravity also moves to the front, so this means that the load
must be reduced
A CAUTION | ALLOWABLE Load
‘The allowable load is stamped on the namepiate to show
the relationship regarding the position of the load center,
the height of the fork and the maximum load. Before load-
ing the forks, check that the load and load center are within
the permitted range on the stamped allowable load.
Ifthe shape of the load is complex, set itso tha the heavi-
‘est part of the load is at the center of the forks and set the
load close to the load backrest.
If the forks are loaded more than the allowable value, the
drive wheels wil float during travel and the steering system
vill not work, This is very dangerous, Furthermore, the lit
‘ruck wil tip over easily under this condition. Therefore, be
sure fo keep the load below the allowable value and prop-
erly balanced,
A WARNING | SPEED AND ACCELERATION
Ia stationary object is not subjected to external force, it will remain stationary, In the same way, if a
moving object is not subjected to extemal force, it wil continue to move at the same speed. This is
called inertia
Because of inertia, a force is applied towards the rear when the lft ruck starts to move, and is applied
towards the front when the If truck stops. If the brakes are applied suddenly, there is danger of a large
force being applied towards the front which may make the lift ruck tip or the load come off the forks.
When the lift truck is turned, a centrifugal force is applied to the outside from the center of the turn
‘This force pushes the lit truck to the outside and makes it tip The range of stabil to the left and right
is particularly small, so itis necessary to reduce speed when tuming, in order to prevent the lift truck
from tipping. if the lit truck is traveling with a raised load, the position of the overall center of geavity s
high, so the danger of tipping to the front, eft or right becomes greater,
