Notify your supervisor if the manual is not available. ÿ Keep hands, feet and other parts of your body inside the designated operator's compartment. Parts of your body outside the truck can be injured when passing obstructions. ÿ Do not permit passengers to ride on the truck. ÿ Observe and comply with instructions concerning floor loadings. Know the weight of your truck and load combined. Truck weight information is located on the nameplate. ÿ Travel with the load lowered and where possible, tilted back. Do not elevate the load except during stacking. ÿ The operator can change the direction of travel while the lift truck is moving, by moving the direction control lever in the opposite direction. The truck will come to a stop and then accelerate in the opposite direction, unless the control lever is released. This is called plugging. ÿ Look in the direction of travel and keep a clear view of the path of travel. ÿ If visibility is impaired by the load, operate truck with the forks trailing and always look in the direction of travel. ÿ Start, stop, travel, steer and brake smoothly. Slow down for turns and on uneven or slippery surfaces that could cause truck to overturn or slide. ÿ Watch clearances around forks. The driver must be aware that the forks can sometimes extend beyondthe load. This may cause the forks to hit an object or lift another load. ÿ Watch out for any obstructions, especially those overhead. Check clearances. ÿ Do not run over objects on the roadway surface as truck stability and steering may be adversely affected. ÿ When approaching cross aisles, slow down, sound horn and keep to the right side of aisle. ÿ Operate truck under all conditions at a speed that will permit it to be brought to a stop in a safe manner. ÿ Narrow Aisle trucks are designed for use on smooth, hard floors with minimal grades. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ÿ Operate a loaded truck with the load upgrade. Operate an unloaded truck with the lifting mechanism downgrade. ÿ Do not push loads with the truck. ÿ Watch out for pedestrians at all times. Do not drive up to anyone standing in front of an object. ÿ Observe all traffic regulations, including authorized plant speed limits. Under normal traffic conditions, keep to the right. Maintain a safe distance from the truck ahead (approximately three truck lengths), and keep the truck under control at all times. ÿ Yale lift trucks are not intended for use on public roads. ÿ When leaving truck unattended, lower the lifting mechanism, shut off power and remove key. Chock wheels if truck is parked on an incline. ÿ Report all accidents involving personnel, building structures and equipment to the proper authority. ÿ Check all gauges and indicator lights for correct operation. Frequent reading of the instrument panel should become a habit. ÿ Avoid any abrupt moves. Be a professional. "HANDLE WITH CARE." ÿ Follow the Recommended Schedules of Maintenance. Maintain your lift truck for dependable and economical operation. SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE When leaving truck unattended, fully lower forks, shut off power, set brake, set coast control to off (when equipped), neutralize controls and remove key. If you park the truck on an incline, chock the wheels. FORK ADJUSTMENT Forks should be spaced as far apart on the fork carriage as the load being moved will allow. Both forks should always be the same distance from the center of the fork carriage. Check for the presence and condition of studs at each end of the carriage upper fork clip slide. If studs are damaged or missing they should be repaired or replaced before the forks are adjusted. 1-3

Yale IndustrialTrucks To adjust the forks, raise them a few inches off the floor. Lift up on the keeper pin and slide the forks along the carriage by pushing them away from you.
