Safety Precautions Operator

Warning Warning

Check that all directional and operational controls and levers are in their NEUTRAL position, the brakes are set and your seat belt is fastened before setting the key switch to ON (See heading ‘ Seat belt’ on page S-8).

To avoid personal injury when operating the truck, be extremely careful that NO part of your body (head, feet, arms, legs, fingers) is outside the operator’s cab where it could be subject to injury by aisle supports, other trucks or any obstacle in the area.

Know the location of and be especially careful of all pinch points, as indicated by the WARNING and DANGER labels on the truck.

Be especially careful when there are other people or moving or fixed objects in the working area, or when the load reduces visibility (See heading ‘Visibility’ on page S-12). Never drive a truck up to anyone standing in front of an object.

Ensure that people stand clear of the rear swing area before making turns.

When driving in narrow aisles, make sure there is enough space for the truck and the load, travel at reduced speeds, and where applicable, request a helper to guide you safely through the area. · The operator is responsible for observing all instructions and safety regulations in his or her daily work routine related to the use of this truck. · Be careful at cross aisles, doorways and other locations where people may step into the path of travel of the truck. · He/she must check the condition of the truck at the start of each work shift. In particular, he/she must check the operation of the steering and brakes; the directional control lever; the pivot and shift, tilt and lift/lower joysticks; the condition of the batteries, parking brake, horn, and signaling devices, where applicable. · Make sure all access/service panels, doors and covers are installed, closed and latched tight. Do not operate the truck with panels, doors and covers removed, opened or unlatched. · Keep the truck clean and in good working order. Report any problems or damage risking the safety of the driver and any people in the work area. Problems found must be reported and corrected. The truck must be taken out of operation until all repairs have been made and the truck has been reinspected for safety. · Always start, stop, change direction, travel and brake smoothly so as not to shift the load and/or overturn the truck.

NEVER lift, lower or transport people.

NEVER allow anyone on or under the forks (or load). Under no circumstances are there to be any riders anywhere on the truck, other than the operator.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual S-7

Safety Precautions · Do not indulge in stunt driving or horseplay.

Seat Belt

· Drive carefully and slowly onto dock boards and bridge plates. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the dock boards or bridge plates and ensure dock boards or bridge plates are properly secured, either by being anchored or by being equipped with devices that will prevent slipping.

The driver’s seat belt must always be worn when driving this truck.

· Check that dock boards have substantial contact with both the dock and the carrier, preventing them from rocking or sliding. · Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms and other similar working surfaces. · When leaving the operator’s cab, the forks must be lowered to the floor, the mast must be placed in a vertical position, all controls must be in a NEUTRAL position, the parking brake must be set and the key switch must be set to the OFF position. Truck wheels must be blocked if the truck is parked on an incline.

Note: A powered industrial truck is considered unattended when the operator is 25 feet (7.6 m) or more away from the truck which still remains in his/her view… or ...whenever the operator leaves the truck and it is not in view.

· Sit up straight in the driver’s seat. · Pull the belt across you. Do not let the belt twist.

Warning A twisted belt can seriously injure you.

In a crash or a tip-over, the full width of the belt would not be available to take up the impact forces. · Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. · The lap part of the belt must be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.

IMPORTANT! Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you can unbuckle the seat belt quickly in an emergency.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual S-8

Safety Precautions Seat Safety Switch If the operator leaves the driver’s seat a limit switch is released. The drive and power steering motors are disabled to prevent further truck movement.

To continue, you must first lower and sit in the seat, set the direction control lever in NEUTRAL, then select the direction of travel.

Note: A two to three second delay is programmed into the seat switch to avoid nuisance shutdown and interruption of normal operations.

Parking Brake The parking brake includes a safety interlock that shuts down the drives, disables the direction control lever and applies the brakes to prevent further truck movement. To continue, you must set the direction lever to NEUTRAL, release the parking brake, and then set the lever to the desired direction.

Tipping Hazards

Warning Lift truck tip-over can cause serious injury or death to the operator or others in the area. Every operator must be thoroughly familiar with the tipping hazards listed in this section and must always avoid any operation of the truck which is likely to result in tipping.

All lift trucks that elevate and tilt loads are subject to the risk of tipping over, especially when accelerating or when applying the brakes abruptly. Transporting loads off-center also increases the risk of tip-over.

If a tip-over occurs, the operator should follow the following guidelines shown here. · DO NOT JUMP · BRACE YOUR FEET FIRMLY · HOLD ON TIGHT · LEAN AWAY FROM THE TIP The most likely causes of tip-over are listed in this section. However, the operator must use good judgment based on proper training and experience to determine turning sharpness and speed for the load being handled and the operating surface (or road) conditions.

A truck can tip longitudinally (tipping over the front or rear wheels) or laterally (tipping either to the left or right side).

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual S-9

Safety Precautions Longitudinal Tipping Can Occur When: · the truck is overloaded. · the mast is tilted forward excessively, with or without a load. · the load is raised and brakes are applied while the truck is traveling forward or backward. · the load is raised and the truck is accelerated while it is traveling forward or backward. · the truck is driven forward down a steep incline with a load.

Lateral Tipping Can Occur When: · the truck is turned sharply while traveling rapidly in either direction, with or without a load. An unloaded truck can tip easier than a loaded truck (with the load lowered). · the load is raised and the truck is being turned while traveling in either direction. · the load is raised and the truck is being turned and accelerated or braked while traveling forward or backward. · the truck is turned while traveling on a ramp or other inclined surface. · a load heavier than the rated truck capacity is lifted.

Tipping over in these conditions is made more likely by overloading, excessive mast tilt, or off-center positioning of the load.

Soft tires can also reduce stability. The truck is equipped with tires of a size and hardness that will provide the necessary traction and maintain a proper shape to minimize tipping. Always replace tires with the type originally supplied by the manufacturer.

The truck can be tipped either longitudinally or laterally if it is driven: · over objects on the floor or ground. · off the edge of a paved surface. · into a pothole in a paved surface. · off the edge of a loading dock, or off the edge of a loading ramp. (It is important to avoid driving too close to the edge of a dock or ramp).

When loading or unloading a highway truck or trailer, make sure the highway truck cannot move away from a dock while loading is in process. Make sure the highway truck or trailer has its brakes applied, engine turned off and, if on an incline, has the wheels blocked.

Tipping can also occur if the truck collides with another truck or other vehicle, or if the mast runs into an overhead obstruction.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual S-10

Safety Precautions Traveling and Load Handling · Observe all traffic regulations. Keep to the right and maintain a safe distance from the truck ahead based on speed of travel. Keep the truck under control at all times. · Yield the right of way to other people in the area. · Slow down and sound the horn at cross aisles and other locations where visibility is obstructed.

CAPACITY PLATE

· Keep a clear view of the path of travel and be alert for other traffic, people and safe clearances. · Under all travel conditions, operate the truck at a speed that permits you to bring the truck to a complete stop in a safe manner. · Do not handle unstable loads. Use care when tilting forward or backward, stacking, depositing, or retrieving a load. Never travel with the mast tilted forward. · Never exceed the truck’s maximum lifting capacity. Refer to heading Specifications in this manual and the capacity plate, located in the operator’s cab (See Figure S-4).

This plate lists the load weights allowable for various fork heights, battery information, and also lists the truck model number, serial number and other basic truck data. · Pay particular attention when picking up a new load, to ensure the load weight and height requirements are within the truck’s capacity. · Truck stability and handling may be adversely affected. · Do not transport loads or other items within the operator’s cab or other areas of the truck. · Check that the load is properly positioned on the forks before lifting. · Spread forks as far apart as the load permits and push completely under the load. Check that forks and loads are centered. Use care when handling off-center loads. · Travel with forks straight ahead, and the mast tilted backward.

bendi ic id plate

Figure S-4 Capacity Dataplate Location

· Travel with forks or load 8” to 12” (203 mm to 305 mm) above travel surface. · Elevate mast or load only to pick up or deposit a load. Watch out for obstructions, especially overhead. Watch all clearances. · Tilt a loaded mast slowly. · Do not release the lift control lever suddenly when lowering loads. This may cause bouncing of the carriage, which could dump the load. · Do not allow anyone, under any circumstances, to walk or stand under the forks or any part of the load. · Never place any part of your body between the mast structures or any moving part of the truck. · Do not turn when traveling on ramps. When descending ramps, travel forward (forks facing downhill) when empty, travel backward (forks facing uphill) when carrying a load. · Use care even when traveling without a load.

Avoid high speeds, sharp turns and abrupt stops.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual S-11

Safety Precautions Speed Travel speed must be chosen according to the situation, such as, the load being handled, road surface conditions, visibility, people working in the area, moving and fixed objects in the area, cross aisles, and so on.

Always operate the truck at a speed that will permit it to be brought to a stop in a safe manner.

An ultrasonic fuel level sensor is mounted to the back mount plate. This sensor provides the operator with an accurate quantity of fuel left through the dash display.

The engine muffler is equipped with baffles to block the ejection of sparks or flame, and meets standards required by the Forest Service of the U.S. Department on Agriculture.

Warning Careless driving, such as, fast starts or abrupt braking, excessive speed at turns or through cross aisles, sudden stops, or hard turns at high speeds can all lead to serious personal injury and damage to the truck and load. Always drive with safety as your number one goal.

Safety Precautions Care

Warning

3. Whenever possible, return the truck to a service area having sufficient lighting, work space and an assortment of tools needed to complete the service.

Do not smoke, use an open flame, or create arcs or sparks near the LPG propane tank.

4. Set the key switch to OFF, set the control lever to NEUTRAL and set (engage) the parking brake.

The gas engine should be maintained per manufacturer's requirements. This includes regular oil changes, checking and replacement of belts and filters, checking coolant levels, and checking engine compression. Refer to the Service Manual for more specific information concerning proper maintenance and care of the engine.

5. Disconnect the battery.

Service Repair When it becomes necessary to do any service repair or maintenance to the truck, it is important to first review the following safety guidelines.

Warning You could be injured and the truck could be damaged if you try to do service work without proper training or equipment.

1. Be sure you have sufficient knowledge, experience and the proper tools and replacement parts before you attempt any truck maintenance.

2. Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Many are specifically rated; that is, SAE Grade 5, SAE Grade 8, ISO Prop Class 8.8, etc., and must be replaced with the identical type. It is recommended to use only Landoll authorized replacement parts.

Warning If you use the wrong nuts, bolts or other fasteners, parts can later break or loosen. Serious injury could occur.

6. Never place a tool or any metal object on top of the battery where it could possibly touch battery terminals causing a short or serious electrical shock.

7. Make sure all lifting devices and supports, such as, a jack or support stand, are capable of handling the weight of the load being applied.

Warning To be certain the truck will not move, place wedges (or blocks of wood) at the front and back of the tires.

If you are servicing the brakes or tires, place the blocks at the front and rear of the tire farthest away from the one being serviced. (That would be the tire on the opposite side of the truck and at the opposite end.)

8. Always place an appropriate support stand under the truck if it is being lifted, then lower the truck to the stand, having both the lifting device and stand supporting the weight of the truck.

Danger Getting under a truck when it is lifted or jacked is dangerous and could cause serious injury or death. Never go under a truck that is supported only by a jack.

9. Fully open the required truck covers and be sure they are braced to prevent accidental closing.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual S-13

Safety Precautions Side Shifting At least once every working shift, the side shifter must be inspected for visible damage and defects.

Any changes occurring with the side shifter or its workings must be reported immediately to the supervisor.

Moving parts of the side shifter entail the danger of pinching, crushing or snagging. Safe distance must be maintained at all times to prevent clothing or body parts from being caught by the moving parts.

When side shifting, closely watch the load and forks throughout the entire operation to prevent over shift or snagging the load on other objects.

Operate the side shift only when the load is lifted off the ground.

Available Options Fork Positioner, Non-Side Shifting Lift trucks using automatic non-side shifting fork positioners require additional SAFETY attention.

Warning Pay strict attention to all safety labels affixed to the fork positioner and backrest.

No riding or standing under any part of the load or on the forks.

NEVER reach through the backrest or between the fork positioner mechanism.

The top of the load must not extend above the top of the backrest.

The load must never exceed the capacity of the fork positioner as stated on the capacity plate affixed within the operator’s cab.

Introduction Vehicle Description The Bendi B40i3 is a narrow aisle type lift truck. The principle of this type of truck is that the weight of the load, which is carried on the forks in front of the load wheels, is offset by the combined weight of the heavy truck chassis and its engine. To maintain a safe counterbalance limit, a ballast weight is mounted to the rear of the truck chassis.

Bendi B40i3 forklift is available in a 4,000 lb. capacity. The front end can be pivoted 180 degrees.

This permits the vehicle to act as a conventional as well as a narrow aisle forklift.

Landoll trucks meet or exceed ASME B56.1 - Part III, Safety for Powered Industrial Trucks and are FMRC approved by meeting or exceeding requirements of FRMC Class 7820, ANSI/UL-558 standard for Internal Combustion Engine Powered Trucks.

The Bendi B40i3 Model truck utilizes the engine and fuel system that are certified by EPA Tier III Standards.

Introduction

Truck Overview Frame The frame consists of 3/8” to 1” thick (9.525 mm to 25.4 mm) steel panels welded together to form the backbone of the truck (basic truck shape). A number of thick rectangular steel shapes (counterweights) are welded within the frame to counterbalance the truck against the weight of its load. The rear wall of the truck also includes a thick steel plate to add additional counterbalance.

Traction Drive Bendi B40i3 Model trucks are dual-drive, four-wheeled trucks, having two steerable, articulating load support wheels in the front and two drive wheels in the rear. The rear drive is operated by a single hydraulic circuit consisting of a variable displacement hydraulic pump and radial piston hydraulic motors. The variable displacement hydraulic pump is controlled by the vehicle master controller (VMC).

Brake System The brake system uses two independent methods.

The use of the drive pedal to actively control hydraulic pump displacement and the stop pedal to provide a mechanical lock-up at the drive motors.

The hydrostatic drive system will act as service brake. Braking sensitivity can be controlled by releasing the drive pedal slowly or quickly.

This Bendi B40i3 forklift is equipped with a spring applied hydraulic released brake system. The stop pedal does not operate as a gentle service brake, but a firmly acting parking brake. It is to be used as for emergency stops or as parking brake. If possible do not operate the stop pedal while the forklift is in motion as this could result in the loss of the load from the forks.

Parking Brake A parking brake system is fitted to both drive units.

The system is foot pedal actuated, and is electrically interlocked to create a NEUTRAL condition when the brake lever is actuated.

The parking brake system consists of an overcenter latch to hold the stop pedal in the down position.

To continue, the operator must first set the direction control lever to NEUTRAL, release the parking brake, then set the control lever to the desired direction of travel.

Safety Interlock Both a key lock switch (key switch) and an operator’s seat switch must be activated before the truck can move. The seat switch is activated when the operator is seated in the driver’s seat (Also see 'Seat Safety Switch,’ on page S-9 for additional information).

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Fuel System The truck is powered by a four-cylinder liquified petroleum gas (LPG) engine designed to minimize harmful emissions. See pages 4-10 - 4-11 for LPG tank removal, filling, and installation procedures.

Additional information is available in the Appendix section of the Bendi B40i3 Service Manual.

Electrical System The electrical system includes a 12-volt battery, key switch, fuses, gauges, switches, electrical harnesses, and diagnostic ports for J1939.

As the stop pedal is depressed, the drive motor shuts down and the directional control electrically resets to NEUTRAL, preventing further movement of the truck.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 1-4

Introduction Battery

Steering

A 12-volt lead -acid battery provides electrical power for the engine, lights, and other auxiliary equipment.

Steering is controlled by the steering control valve, or orbital, metering oil supplied by the auxiliary pump based on the operator's input to the steering wheel.

Pressurized oil from the steering control valve is sent through a motion control valve to the hydraulic steering motor. This motor turns the gear set, which rotates the front plate and mast.

For maintenance and/or emergencies, turn off the key switch to stop power to the truck. For maintenance, the driver's seat compartment cover, a hinged side cover provides easy access to the engine compartment where the battery is located.

Hydraulic System The hydraulic system consists of two separate circuits driven by a through shaft system originating at the pump drive attached to the flywheel on the engine. The first of these circuits is the hydrostatic drive and the second is the auxiliary pump circuit.

Hydrostatic Drive The hydrostatic drive is comprised of a variable displacement pump plumbed to a fixed displacement motor for each of the two drive wheels all controlled by the Vehicle Master Controller (VMC). The operator sends a direction and throttle signal to the VMC via the operator's controls. The VMC in-turn sends a throttle signal to the engine control module and a command to the variable displacement pump.

This pump then sends oil at pressure to the wheel motors. The wheel motors then rotate the drive tires with speed and torque. Refer to the VMC section of the Service Manual for additional information and calibration instruction and procedures.

Auxiliary Pump Circuit The auxiliary pump is located on the front of the variable displacement pump. The auxiliary pump provides oil at pressure to the following: · Steering · Hydraulic Fan · Mast Valve

Hydraulic Fan The oil flow to the hydraulic fan is regulated by a proportional valve controlled by the VMC. The fan speed is controlled by varying the oil flow based on engine temperature. As engine temperature rises, the fan speed will increase to match the greater coding demand. Consequently, the hydraulic fan is shut off when full mast lift is commanded to allow all hydraulic fluid flow to the mast. However, when engine temperature is greater than 230o F mast inputs are ignored and the fan is allowed to run continuously to prevent overheating.

Mast Valve Oil supplied by the auxiliary pump, not used by steering or the hydraulic fan is directed to the 3-spool mast control valve. An inlet relief controls pressure in this branch of the auxiliary pump circuit.

The 3-spool valve directs lift circuit pressurized oil to the lift, tilt, and side shift functions based on the operator's shifting of the valve levers. In the event that an attachment or 4th function is added, oil from the side shift spool is split to go either to the side shift cylinders or the 4th function based on the signal from a push-button switch mounted to the spool control lever.

Filtration and Cooling Return oil from the steering function, hydraulic fan, and lift function are combined at the filter manifold and sent through the hydraulic cooler to be cooled.

Cooled oil from the hydraulic oil cooler is then sent through the in-tank hydraulic oil filter.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 1-5

Introduction Operator’s Cab Driver Controls Driving controls for the IC Model truck include a steering wheel, horn button, a forward and reverse lever, stop pedal, and drive pedal for speed control.

Introduction Mast Assemblies Various mast assembly configurations (duplex, triplex and /or quadplex) can be applied to the Bendi B40i3 Model trucks to provide both collapsed and extended heights suitable for most customer requirements. The lifting capacity of the mast also varies depending on the truck and its application.

Load capacities are determined at 24” (609.6 mm) centers, centered on the mast and include all attachments on the carriage.

The Bendi Specifications sheet at the end of this chapter lists the dimensions of standard masts available for these trucks. Also check the capacity plate in the operator’s compartment for the maximum lifting capabilities based on the particular truck and mast combination (See Figure 1-1).

Figure 1-12 Mast in Collapsed Position

The trucks are counterweighted to compensate for all positions of the maximum allowed load.

Masts are engineered to distribute thrust loads evenly between the rollers and rails. Masts move as a unit, providing maximum strength and endurance for the rated load and consist of up to three pairs of channels or rails (steel beams) rolling one within the other on steel rollers.

The outer rails provide guidance and support for the middle rails, which in turn guide and support the inner rails. The truck forks are mounted on a carriage assembly that runs on rollers within the inner rails (See Figure 1-12).

Figure 1-13 Mast in Free Lift Position A primary cylinder is supported by the inner rails and hydraulically controlled. As the primary cylinder rod extends, a sheave and chain assembly lift the fork/carriage upward at twice the distance covered by the cylinder rod.

This first stage of carriage lift is called free lift. It is the distance of lift available without increasing the overall height of the mast assembly (See Figure 1-13).

A secondary cylinder, attached to the outer rails, lifts the middle and inner rails progressively via chains, rollers and sheaves. The inner rails are raised at twice the rate of extension of the secondary cylinder piston.

Figure 1-14 Mast Fully Extended

This upward lift continues until the secondary cylinders are fully extended (See Figure 1-14).

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 1-10

Introduction The hydraulic fluid used to lift the primary cylinder is applied sequentially to the secondary cylinder.

When the primary cylinder reaches full extension, the secondary cylinder begins to extend.

The differences in weights being supported by the cylinders, along with the differences in cylinder diameters, ensure that the primary cylinder will be fully extended before the secondary cylinder can begin to move. Consequently, when the mast is raised, it moves through two phases: · Free lift, in which only the carriage assembly moves, up to the maximum height allowed by the inner rails (See Figure 1-13). · Rail extension, in which both the middle and inner rails move, carrying the carriage upward (See Figure 1-14).

Figure 1-15 Quadplex Mast in Collapsed Position

Downward movement of the mast is accomplished by releasing the hydraulic fluid from the cylinders back into the reservoir. The weight of the rails and carriage provides enough pressure to force the fluid from the cylinders. When the secondary cylinder piston is fully contracted, the primary cylinder begins to collapse, forcing its fluid back to the reservoir.

The mast is supported by trunnions, which allow it to tilt fore and aft. Two short hydraulic cylinders mounted between the bottom of the mast and the pivot arm control the amount of tilt. A mast indicator gauge (pointer) is located on the left side of the mast (as viewed from the front of the truck) to indicate when the carriage/forks are perfectly level with the floor.

As an option, trucks may be equipped with quadplex masts which utilize four sets of rails, referred to as Outer, Outer Intermediate, middle, and Inner rails, respectively (See Figure 1-15).

The primary cylinder and carriage operate the same as a triplex (three-rail) mast. When the secondary cylinders extend, they lift the middle rails. Through an intricate system of chains and sheaves, the rising middle rails pull up the outer intermediate rails at half the middle rail speed, and push up the inner rails at twice the middle rail speed.

Many problems can be spotted by a simple visual inspection of the truck; such as, oil leaks, damaged tires, cracks in welds or forks, damaged covers, etc.

Permanent logs serve as a checklist to show maintenance and repair history and to record whether faults have been corrected.

2. Perform inspections with the truck key switch set to OFF, the control lever in the NEUTRAL position and all brakes set.

3. Always pay strict attention to all CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER decals affixed to the truck and thoroughly read the SAFETY chapter of this manual.

4. If you notice or suspect a problem, immediately report it to your supervisor, record it in the truck log book, and have it checked and/or repaired before releasing the truck for use.

IMPORTANT! Appendix A contains an Operator's Daily Checklist, which should be used as a guideline when inspecting the truck.

However, dirt, grease, oil and debris can mask some problems. If possible, the truck should be washed on a regular basis. To remove stubborn grease accumulations, a grease-dissolving solvent may be needed. Make sure the solvent is not harmful to painted surfaces.

After high-pressure washing, lubricate all unprotected grease fittings and metal-to-metal surfaces, located outside the truck. See page B-2 for lube points and lubrication table. Refer to the Service Manual for lubrication instructions.

Warning Grease solvents are often toxic and may be flammable. Use only in accordance with the solvent manufacturer’s recommendations supplied with the solvent.

For example, use only i n a well-ventilated area and do not breathe vapors. Wear protective goggles, aprons, and gloves. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Keep away from heat and flame. Do not smoke when using solvents or in the area where solvents are stored.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in death or injury.

Bendi IC/HT Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 2-3

Receiving and Inspection · Driver’s seat - Check the seat covering for rips or cuts. Check seat belt straps for worn or frayed areas or cuts. Check that the seat belt is firmly attached and that the buckle is not damaged. Check that the seat belt works properly.

The driver’s seat limit switch system includes an interlock that shuts down the drive and power steering motors and disables the direction control (resets to NEUTRAL) bringing the truck to a smooth STOP. The mast functions remain operable.

To check the brake interlock, • Sit in the driver’s seat, set the key switch to ON and release the parking brake.

• Set the control lever to FORWARD and slowly increase motor speed until the truck begins to move.

• Lift yourself from the seat far enough to release the seat switch. The truck must immediately slow to a STOP, and power steering is disabled.

• If the truck continued moving forward, it must be removed from operation and the seat switch must be replaced. · Fasteners - Check for damaged, loose or missing screws and nuts. Tighten and/or have service replace as needed. · Horn, Lights, etc. - Check lights for proper on/off operation and for blown bulbs. Check that the horn sounds when pressed. Repair and/or replace as needed. · Hydraulic lines, loose fittings - Check underneath the truck for evidence of fluid leaks. Look for hydraulic hose wear, damage and leaks. Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. If leaks are found, have service repair all leaks immediately and check the hydraulic fluid level. Do not use the truck.

· Hydraulic oil level - Check the oil level weekly. Low oil can cause operational problems (See ‘Check Hydraulic Oil Level,’ in the Service Manual. · Instruments - Inspect the instrument panel for damaged or non-working gauges. These require the key switch to be ON and can be checked prior to beginning your daily work routine. · Mast operation - With the key switch turned ON, raise the mast. Check that the primary cylinder extends fully and that the lift carriage raises to the top of the inner rails before the secondary cylinders begin to move.

Warning Never place your head, hands, arms or feet in the mast area! Make sure there is sufficient room above to raise the mast safely.

• When the lift carriage reaches the top of the inner rails, the secondary cylinders and middle rails begin lifting.

Check to make sure the rails travel smoothly and that there is no chatter or visible binding.

• With the mast fully extended, begin lowering the mast. The secondary cylinders and middle rails fully lower first, followed by the primary cylinder and the lift carriage.

• Check for smooth travel with no chattering or visible binding.

• If there is noticeable chatter or binding, immediately notify your immediate supervisor or service personnel.

• DO NOT attempt to repair the mast or operate the truck until the problem is corrected.

Receiving and Inspection

Storage, Towing or Shipping Truck Storage For long-term storage, the truck battery should be removed and stored where it can be periodically checked and recharged every three months.

The truck should be stored indoors within a temperature range of +35° F (2° C) to +115° F (46° C) and a relative humidity of 90%.

The truck should be raised with the tires at least 2” (51 mm) off the floor and the frame set on large wooden blocks. Hard polyurethane tires, over long periods of time can develop flat spots that may not return to normal when the truck is returned to service, rendering the tires defective.

If the truck must be stored outside, it must be covered securely with a tarpaulin. Continued exposure to sunlight will cause deterioration of rubber tires, gaskets and hoses, as well as vinyl seat coverings, etc.

Battery Storage In general, batteries that are fully charged with the electrolyte at the proper level may be stored for up to one year. Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, non-conductive material to protect them from dirt, moisture, etc.

IMPORTANT! Do not drape flexible plastic sheeting over batteries as it might trap explosive gases underneath. For batteries stored for more than one year consult the manufacturer.

Towing the Truck

Warning Make sure the towing equipment is capable of handling the weight of the truck being towed (See Figure 1-1).

Never connect lifting equipment to the operator's cab overhead guards..

Never use the truck to tow materials.

Never tow a truck that is carrying a load.

Never connect towing equipment to the mast.

For better traction, partially load the truck doing the towing.

Should it become necessary to tow the forklift, the towing instructions decal located on the truck must be followed (See Figure 2-4).

5. Set wedges against the front and rear tires and fasten them to the floor of the carrier. If the carrier is equipped with rings or receptacles for chains or cable rope, support the truck as firmly as possible.

IMPORTANT! If the truck breaks down and cannot be repaired at that location, it may be towed by attaching a suitable hook and chain to the tow bar located in the cutout at the lower rear of the truck (See Figure 2-5).

Do not run chain or wire over the seat base or any other finished metal surface. Use padding as necessary to protect the truck finish from chains or cables.

Also, the power steering on the disabled truck does not operate when the power steer motor is not running, which makes the steering wheel difficult to turn.

Carefully and slowly tow the truck backwards to your service repair area. An operator must be on the towed truck, wearing a seat belt.

Understanding workplace conditions - This discussion makes you aware of hazards in the workplace that you must understand to avoid accidents. You need to stay aware of changing conditions in your workplace such as potholes, overhead obstructions, and pedestrian traffic that may change on a daily basis. You also need to understand how to load and unload transport vehicles.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 3-1

Before You Begin

Warning Read the Operator’s Manual and machine signs (decals) before using the forklift. Failure to do so can cause serious injury or death.

Operator Training

Warning Every forklift operator must be trained in accordance to the rules provided by appropriate legislation. Your employer must ensure t hat each pow ered industrial truck operator is competent to operate a powered industrial truck safely, as demonstrated by t he successful completion of the relevant training course. Operating a powered industrial truck without the proper training can cause serious injury or death.

Operator Safety Before you start using your Bendi B40i3 forklift you must become familiar with its capabilities and thoroughly read and understand the material contained in this Operator’s Manual and the various machine signs (decals) found on your vehicle.

Understanding Stability

Warning Never load truck beyond its rated capacity. Loading beyond rated capacity can cause axles to break, truck to tip over, load to fall, or serious injury or death. See identification plate for rated capacity and load center information.

Warning Never allow anyone to stand beneath or pass under the lifting mechanism. The load could fall causing serious injury or death.

Warning Make sure that the load is centered and the forks are fully engaged. Failure to do so can cause the load to fall, or the truck to tip over, resulting in serious injury or death The leading causes of accidents involving forklift trucks are due to the lack of understanding of how forklift trucks operate, especially when it comes to stability. If you don’t understand the concepts of stability, you may tip over your Bendi B40i3 forklift truck, which can cause serious injury or death.

Whether you are a new operator or have used forklifts for many years, read through the following guidelines. They provide step-by-step instructions to help you operate your Bendi B40i3 forklift in a safe and efficient manner.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 3-2

Before You Begin Basic Principles The concepts concerning stability are actually quite simple. As the angle between the forks and the body of the truck approaches 90° to the right (Figure 3-1) or left (Figure 3-2), the truck is in its least stable position.

Unlike an automobile, which has four points of suspension, Bendi B40i3 forklift trucks operate on a three-point suspension. When the forks are turned nearly 90° to the right, two of the suspension points are on the rear axle (item 1) and (item 2). The third suspension point is the center point of the front axle (item 3) . The center of gravity, an imaginary point at which all of the truck’s weight is concentrated, is located as shown (item 4) when: · The forks are turned nearly 90° to the right · No load is placed on the forks · The truck is at rest.

In this position, the fulcrum, or axis around which the truck will tip, is between suspension point (item 2) and (item 3).

If you try to pick up a load that is too heavy, the truck will tip around the fulcrum. Let’s see why. Imagine a triangle (item 5) is drawn between the three suspension points.

1

4

2

5

3

bendi ic stability rt

This triangle is commonly called the stability triangle.

Since the center of gravity is an imaginary point, it will shift for various reasons that we will explore in a moment. The crucial thing to remember is, as long as the center of gravity of the truck remains within the border of the stability triangle, the truck will not tip.

If the center of gravity shifts (item 4) so it falls outside of the border of the stability triangle, the truck will tip around the fulcrum.

The center of gravity will shift if: · The load exceeds the rated capacity listed on the identification plate. · The load exceeds the load center dimensions listed on the capacity plate. · You do not seat the forks fully into the pallet, called “tip loading”. · You take a corner too fast (with the truck unloaded or loaded). · You drive with the load raised. · The load is not distributed properly (always keep the heavier items near the load backrest). · You drive across a slope. · You drive on a slope with the load facing downhill.

Before You Begin Knowing the Rated Capacity

Warning Never load truck beyond its rated capacity. Loading beyond rated capacity can cause axles to break, truck to tip over, load to fall, or serious injury or death. See identification plate for rated capacity and load center information.

Before you begin to operate your Bendi B40i3 forklift, you need to know some basic principles of how it works. This includes knowing how much weight it can carry and how to properly carry a load to maintain stability.

One of the most important facts you need to know about your Bendi B40i3 forklift is its rated capacity (how much weight it can safely lift). This weight is listed as the rated capacity on the capacity plate.

The rated capacity varies for each load depending on: · Where the horizontal and vertical load centers are · The height you plan to lift the load · Attachments used

Identification Plate Identification plates are provided on the truck.

The following list explains each item that appears on the identification plate (See Figure 3-3).

1. Model. The model number of your Bendi B40i3 forklift appears here.

2. Serial No. The serial number of your Bendi B40i3 forklift appears here.

3. Mast No. The serial number of the mast appears here.

4. Rated capacity. The rated capacity is stated with the forks at various fork heights. As you lift the load higher, the rated capacity of the forklift decreases.

5. Lift height. This is the fork height stated in inches. This is the distance between the ground and the top edge of the forks.

6. Weight. The rated capacity of the forklift at various fork heights. Rated capacity stated in pounds and kilograms.

7. Unladen mass. The actual weight of your Bendi B40i3 forklift as built; stated in pounds and kilograms.

8. Truck Type. This designation assigned by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) Standard 558 describes the overall design of the components for the internal combustion engine powered truck. Type “LP” designated units are liquefied petroleum gas units having minimum acceptable safeguards against inherent fire hazards. Type “LPS” designated units are similar to the “LP” units with additional safeguards to the exhaust, fuel, and electrical systems.

9. Nominal Voltage. Nominal voltage indicates that the truck uses a 12 VDC battery.

10. Horizontal Load Center. The horizontal load center is equal to one-half the length of the rated load when the weight is evenly distributed.

11. Vertical Load Center. The vertical load center is equal to one-half the height of the rated load when the weight is evenly distributed.

Figure 3-3 Identification Plate Capacity

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 3-4

Before You Begin Bendi Serial Number Code The following information will help decode the Bendi serial number:

MAST SERIAL NO. LOCATION

Baa/ww-ymms-xxxxx Where: aa ww y mm s xxxxx

= 40 for 4,000 lb rated capacity truck = 48 for 48” frame width = last digit of year of manufacture (ex. “8” means 2008, “9” means 2009) = month of manufacture = component series; such as “A” = frame number

Caution The frame number is also located on the left side of the frame (See Figure 3-4).

You must compare the frame number listed on the identification plate with the frame number on the frame of the truck before you operate the truck.

FRAME NO. LOCATION bendi ic frame and mast id

Figure 3-4 Frame and Mast Identification

Caution The mast serial number is also located on the left side of the mast (See Figure 3-4). You must compare the mast serial number listed on the identification plate with the mast serial number on the mast of the truck before you operate the truck.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 3-5

Before You Begin Load Center

Counterweight

Warning Make sure the actual horizontal and vertical load centers do not exceed the maximum load centers stated on the identification plate. Failure to do this can cause the forklift to tip over causing serious injury or death.

You need to consider two types of load centers. The horizontal load center is equal to one-half the length of the load when the weight is evenly distributed. For example, a load that is 48 in. long has a horizontal load center of 24 in. The further the load center is from the fulcrum, the less stable the forklift. Always make sure your load is flush against the rear of the forks, and that unevenly distributed loads are loaded with the heaviest end of the load closest to the front wheels (See Figure 3-5).

Warning Never let anyone stand on the back of the forklift to add counterweight. They can fall off the forklift, or the truck can tip backwards, causing serious injury or death.

Your Bendi B40i3 forklift has a counterweight that allows it to travel with heavy loads. When the forklift lifts a heavy load, the counterweight on the other end of the forklift keeps the center of gravity inside the stability triangle and prevents it from tipping over (See Figure 3-5).

HORIZONTAL LOAD CENTER

The vertical load center is equal to one-half the height of the load when the weight is evenly distributed. For example, a load that is 48 in. high has a vertical load center of 24 in. Make sure that you do not pick up a load that is higher than twice the vertical load center.

The maximum horizontal and vertical load centers your Bendi B40i3 forklift can handle is listed on the identification plate.

COUNTERWEIGHT FULCRUM REAR OF FORKS

bendi ic load center rating

VERTICAL LOAD CENTER

Figure 3-5 Load Center Rating

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 3-6

Before You Begin Maximum Fork Height

When you load at high elevations, tilt the load back far enough to seat it against the load backrest or forks.

Warning The load capacity of your forklift decreases the higher you raise the forks.

Refer to the rated capacity at the heights listed on the identification plate. Failure to heed these guidelines can cause your forklift to tip over causing serious injury or death.

The maximum fork height is the highest position your Bendi B40i3 forklift can lift a load (See Figure 3-6).

This is measured from the floor to the forks when they are raised in their highest position. The higher the forks are raised, the less stable the forklift becomes.

When you unload at high elevations, make sure you only use enough tilt to place the load onto the rack or stack.

Attachments

Warning Never modify your Bendi B40i3 forklift in any manner. Only options and attachments approved by Landoll may be installed on the truck. Other modifications will void the warranty and can cause serious injury or death.

Attachments to the forks may affect the load center.

When the factory, dealer, or distributor installs attachments approved by Landoll, an additional identification plate is attached to the truck. The new plate identifies the type of attachment, the changes in the load centers, and the rated capacity.

It is illegal to use attachments for which revised capacities are not available.

MAXIMUM FORK HEIGHT

Determining the Weight of the Load In addition to the rated capacity you must determine the weight of the load before you attempt to lift it with your Bendi B40i3 forklift: · Weight is listed on pallet wrapper · Weight is listed on Bill of Lading

bendi ic max fork height

Figure 3-6 Maximum Lift Height

Tilting Considerations

· Weight is determined by multiplying the weight of each small container by the number of small containers on a pallet. Each small container should be marked with its weight. · Ask your supervisor when in doubt

The amount of forward and rearward tilt you should use is governed by the application.

When you travel with the truck loaded, you should tilt the mast rearward as well as keep the load low. This will help stabilize loads with an uneven weight distribution.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 3-7

Before You Begin Understanding Workplace Conditions

Warning

Working in Hazardous Environments

Warning

Workplace situations are constantly changing. Check your area before beginning work for the day. If in doubt, check with your supervisor. Failure to observe new workplace conditions can lead to serious injury or death.

Some atmospheric conditions encountered in the workplace are extremely explosive and/or flammable. Make sure your Bendi forklift is designated with the type appropriate for your workplace.

In addition to stability, you need to be aware of special situations in your workplace to avoid forklift accidents. Even if you work in the same area each day, there could be changes that would affect your safety, such as:

If you are unsure about the forklift, check with your supervisor. Using the wrong type designation can cause an explosion or fire resulting in a serious injury or death.

· Contractors doing maintenance · Wet areas · Overhead repair work Be on the defensive for anything that might present a hazard. Other situations that could present special operating conditions include: · Potholes · Pedestrian traffic

Chemical Hazards You should know the chemical characteristics of the substances you are moving. In case of an accident you would handle stable, reactive, or flammable substances differently. For example, if you puncture a drum that contains flammable material, you need to turn off all sources of ignition and contact the proper authorities.

· Very narrow aisle ways · Overhead obstructions · Poor lighting making it hard to see hazards · Wet, oily, or uneven terrain · Other equipment or vehicles operated in the area Remember: Do not block the following items with your Bendi B40i3 forklift or materials you are moving: · Electrical panels · Fire exits · Emergency stop buttons · Aisle ways

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 3-8

Before You Begin Pre-Operation Checklist

Trucks

Perform a pre-operation inspection of the Bendi B40i3 Model lift truck daily, before beginning your work shift. Report all problems to your immediate supervisor. (See ‘Routine checks,’ page 2-2). Do not release the truck into operation until repairs are made.

1. Before you load or unload a truck or trailer, make sure it does not move unintentionally:

Dockboards Dockboards are designed and maintained so that one end contacts the dock (or loading platform) and the other end contacts the transport vehicle. When you load or unload the transport vehicle, the dock board must be locked in place to prevent it from rocking or sliding. Dock boards have a high friction surface designed to reduce the possibility of people or trucks slipping. Handholds or other effective means are provided on portable dock boards to permit safe handling. Where possible, fork loops or lugs are provided for handling by fork trucks.

Special rules should be followed if your workplace uses dockboards on loading docks: Never exceed the carrying capacity marked on portable or powered dockboards.

Portable dockboards must be secured in position, using anchors or other devices that prevent slipping.

· Set the brakes · Block the wheels 2. In addition to setting the brakes and blocking the wheels, if a trailer is not coupled to a tractor, make sure that all four corners are supported to prevent upending or corner dipping.

3. Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms, or other similar working surfaces.

4. Do not move trailers with a Bendi B40i3 forklift.

Warning Devices Sound the horn at an intersection. Stop and look for other vehicles and/or pedestrians and proceed with caution.

Your Bendi B40i3 forklift may have other warning devices installed. Make sure they are in working order before you start work for the day: · An amber overhead flashing beacon · Flashing backup light · Rear safety light package · Back up alarm

When you park your forklift always:

Mast Operation

1. Apply the stop pedal.

Each mast operation is controlled by individual control levers - LIFT, TILT and SHIFT (See Figure 4-13). Practice using each lever, as explained below, until you are comfortable with the operation of the mast.

2. Tilt the mast forward.

3. Lower the forks to the ground.

4. Turn the key switch to the OFF position.

5. Remove the key.

Note: Make sure all accessories are off (lights, etc.) before you turn the key switch to the Off position.

1. Slowly pull the LIFT lever towards you to raise the mast. Lift the mast only one or two feet for practice.

2. Push the LIFT lever away from you to lower the mast forks.

3. Pull the TILT lever towards you to tilt the mast back. Rear tilt is 3° maximum (See Figure 4-14).

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 4-16

Operating Your Bendi Forklift 4. Push the TILT lever away from you to move the mast forward, or to return the forks to their horizontal position as indicated by the tilt level gauge mounted on the right and left sides of the mast (See Figure 4-14).

5. Practice tilting the mast slowly by feathering in the desired direction. Feathering is the process of moving the lever ever so slowly in the required direction to very slowly move the load into position.

Warning Avoid jerky movements of the mast, especially when the load is raised. Jerky movements with the mast raised could tip the truck or allow the load to slip from the forks, causing serious injury and/or damage.

You should tilt the mast only at the floor level or at the load level in the rack when depositing or picking up a load.

At any other time, forward tilting could cause the truck to tip forward or cause the load to slide off the forks causing serious injury to yourself or anyone in the area.

6. Tilting a loaded mast forward should be done slowly by feathering the TILT lever. Rapid tilting might jostle a load off the forks prematurely.

7. Make sure the area to the right and left of the truck is clear.

8. Push the SHIFT lever forward to shift the mast to the right (See Figure 4-13).

9. Pull the SHIFT lever back to shift the mast to the left.

10. When you are thoroughly familiar with all of the control movements of the mast levers, practice depositing and retrieving a load under the supervision of an experienced instructor or operator.

Warning NEVER handle loads in excess of the specified rating on the capacity plate located in the operator’s compartment.

Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads. Too heavy a load may tip the truck, causing injury to the operator. Unstable loads may fall off, injuring people nearby.

Make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of the Bendi B40i3 Model before you attempt to handle loads. Repeated practice is a must! A mistake in load movement could jam the load into the racks, causing damage, or could dislodge a load from the forks, causing serious injury to people below.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 4-17

Operating Your Bendi Forklift Operating Instructions – Handling a Load Narrow-aisles, plus the size of the truck, prevent a load from being pulled straight out of the rack. You must pivot the front end and shift (or inch) the load in or out of the rack. A combination of movements, where the pivot or shift actions occur with forward or backward movements of the truck, are needed to inch the load in and out of position. This will require some practice by the operator to be performed smoothly and effectively.

Figure 4-15 Tipping a Load

Warning You must immediately lower the load to about 12” (30 cm) from the floor before moving the load to another location.

Lowering the load improves driver visibility, and improves the stability of the truck by reducing the possibility of personal injury or damage to the load should it slip from the forks. Look in the direction you will travel before you begin to drive the forklift.

Warning Make sure forks are set so the spacing between them is equal to one-half the opening between the end stringers on the pallet.

Make sure you insert forks fully into the pallet. Do not “tip load” (See Figure 4-15).

Read and understand the information in the Before You Begin section before you operate a Bendi B40i3 forklift.

Never use the forklift to elevate anyone without the use of an approved attachment.

Never carry passengers on the truck.

Never load your Bendi B40i3 forklift beyond its rated capacity. Rated capacity is stated on the truck’s capacity plate.

Loading the truck beyond its rated capacity can cause axle(s) to break, the truck to tip over and the load to fall.

Make sure the load center of the load does not exceed the load center rating stated on the truck’s capacity plate.

If the mast continues to raise after the control lever is released, turn off the key switch.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SEE CAPACITY PLATE FOR RATED CAPACITY AND LOAD CENTER INFORMATION.

Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads. Use caution when you handle high or wide loads.

Do not allow anyone to stand beneath or pass under the mast.

Warning Be careful that the load does not hit the side of the rack as it is inserted. You may have to move the truck forward or backward to help provide clearance for the load to swing into the rack.

Also make sure the load is a few inches above the bottom rail of the rack and that it does not strike any cross members above. bendi ic unload 3

9. Position the load directly over the rack beams and tilt the mast into its vertical position (See Figure 4-38).

Warning

“NO LOAD” POSITION

When you lower the forks to the “no load” position, make sure you do not lower the forks too far (See Figure 4-39).

If the forks are lowered too far beyond the “no load” position, you can damage the mast, rack, or other containers on the stack. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. 10. Lower the forks until the load sits firmly on the rack. Continue to lower the forks until they no longer support the load (‘no load’ position) (See Figure 4-39).

Warning Do not attempt to withdraw the forks until they have been lowered to a “no load” position.

Figure 4-39 No-Load Position

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDELINE CAN CAUSE THE LOAD TO FALL OFF THE STACK CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. S

Note: Do not tilt the mast back until the forks clear the pallet.

11. Shift into reverse and slowly back out of the load as you turn the steering wheel to keep the forks straight (See Figure 4-40).

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 4-28

Operating Your Bendi Forklift 12. When the first fork (item 1) (See Figure 4-41) clears the rack, stop backing and turn the steering wheel to straighten out the forks so they are parallel with the body of the truck.

13. Lower the forks until they are 4 in. to 6 in. off the ground and slowly drive the truck to the next location observing the safety rules previously stated.

S

Fire Extinguisher Option If your truck includes a fire extinguisher it should be inspected monthly or more frequently if circumstances dictate. The extinguisher should be checked to see that: · it is not damaged · the discharge outlet is not blocked · it is fully charged · the seal is not broken

Figure 4-41 Removing the Forks

· the instruction pamphlet is clearly visible

IMPORTANT! Dry-powder extinguishers are shipped fully charged. Do not experiment with your extinguisher since even a small amount of discharge could cause it to slowly lose the rest of its pressure, rendering the extinguisher useless.

Bendi B40i3 Series Forklift Operator’s Manual 4-29

Operating Your Bendi Forklift In Case of a Fire!

Warning Fumes and smoke from any fire may be dangerous and can be deadly.

Professionals should handle all fires.

Call the fire department, no matter what the size of the fire. Emergency telephone numbers should be posted at each telephone.

The following directions are for general use only, intended to familiarize you with the key functions and procedure of the fire extinguisher. Always check the extinguisher label for specific techniques and starting distances.

1. Have everyone vacate the area immediately.

2. Hold the extinguisher upright and pull the pin.

3. Stand back from the fire the minimum distance indicated on the extinguisher label.

4. Continue to keep the extinguisher upright, compress the handles together to discharge while sweeping the extinguisher from side to side over the fire.

5. Move closer to the area, as the fire is extinguished, BUT NOT CLOSE SO AS TO DISPERSE BURNING MATERIAL.

Figure 4-42 Setting the Forks

Fork Positioner Option The forks start at the center of the carriage and move equal distance to the outside and back again as indicated by letters C and D (See Figure 4-42).

A push button is added to the pivot and shift joystick control (See Figure 4-43).

Press the button and push the joystick forward to separate the forks to the outside (D).

Press the button and pull the joystick back to bring the forks together (C).

6. When the fire is extinguished, beware of reignition.

7. Vacate and ventilate the area immediately.

8. Be equipped to leave the area in the event the fire cannot be controlled immediately.
