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.

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 Figure2-4 and Figure2-5

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.

7. To jack the baseleg: Place the jack in the designated jacking position. See Figure2-4. 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.

8. To jack the tractor : Place the jack in the designated jacking position. Do not jack under the removable bumper. See Figure2-5. 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.

Welding Safety

Flame cutting or welding on painted surfaces can produce potentially harmful fumes, smoke, and vapors. Before you do flame cutting or welding, remove the coating in the area where the operation will occur.

Coating removal can occur by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Perform flame cutting and/or welding only in well-ventilated areas.

Before working on this lift truck, make sure: •Fire protection equipment is nearby.

•You know where the nearest eyewash station is. 04g6s059.eps

•Test for shorts to frame (refer to Troubleshooting). Correct any shorts before you weld.

•Clean the area to be welded.

•Protect all lift truck components from heat, weld spatter, and debris.

•Attach the ground cable as close to the weld area as possible. Do not attach the ground cable to fasteners or other removable components.

•Disconnect all electrical connectors from circuit cards before doing any type of electric resistance welding.

•Do not weld near electrical components.

•If you must weld near the battery compartment, remove the battery from the lift truck.

Disconnect the battery before you attempt to inspect, se rvice, or repair the lift truck. Discharge all amplifier’s internal capacitor by jumpering the + and – terminals with a 100 ohm 25W resistor.
