The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) prohibits employees under the age of 18 years old from operating lift trucks, and is now mandating operator training for all lift truck operators. SAFE and EFFICIENT OPERATION of a lift truck depends to a great extent on the skill and alertness of the operator. To develop the skill, the operator should: 1. Read and understand the working capabilities and limitations of the lift truck. 2. Read and understand the make-up of the lift truck. 3. Read and understand the safe driving and load handling procedures contained in this manual. And, most important, a qualified person experienced in lift truck operation should guide new operators through several driving and load handling operations before they attempt to operate the lift truck on their own. It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure the operator can see, hear and has the physical and mental ability to operate the lift truck safely.
This manual contains information necessary for the operation and "Do-ityourself" maintenance of standard lift trucks. Optional equipment is sometimes installed; it can change some operating characteristics described in this manual. Before operating such a lift truck, make sure the necessary instructions are available and understood.
Lift truck operator training is provided through your authorized Cat® lift truck dealer. They will be glad to help you and answer any questions you may have about operating your new lift truck. Lift trucks are NOT intended for use on public roads.
NOTICE:
– If you resell a lift truck, be sure to attach its Operation & Maintenance Manual to the lift truck. In some country, its strict regulation does not allow imported lift trucks for resale.
For resale information, contact your authorised Cat lift truck dealer. – If a lift truck is resold from another country, an Operation & Maintenance attached to the lift truck may not meet your country’s rules and regulations.
