Section 2. Safety Jacking Safety
Jacking Safety Some maintenance procedures require the lift truck to be jacked up. To safely jack the truck: 1. Lower the carriage and forks completely to the floor. Remove any load. 2. Place all controls in neutral. 3. Block the wheels to prevent movement of the vehicle.
8. To jack the tractor: Place the jack in the designated jacking position. Do not jack under the removable bumper. See Figure 2-5. Jack one side of the lift truck so that the drive tire is off the floor no more than 2 in. (50 mm). Block that side of the lift truck in place. Then jack up the other side of the lift truck in the same manner. Block that side in place. Figure 2-5. Jacking and Blocking Tractor
4. Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect the battery connector. 5. If possible, stabilize the top of the mast with an overhead chain hoist. 6. Place the jack under the designated jacking points. See Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.
Use extreme care when the lift truck is jacked up. Never block the lift truck between the carriage and the floor. Keep hands and feet clear while jacking the lift truck. After the lift truck is jacked, place solid blocks or jack stands beneath it to support it. Do not rely on the jack alone to support the lift truck.
Do not jack here
7. To jack the baseleg: Place the jack in the designated jacking position. See Figure 2-4. Jack the lift truck up just high enough to raise the load wheel off the floor, no more than 0.5 in. (13 mm). Place a block under the baseleg as shown. Figure 2-4. Jacking and Blocking Baseleg
0.5 in. (13 mm) off floor max.
