Special General comments
Safety Operator responsibilities

AUSA manufactures its forklift trucks (hereinafter forklifts) in accordance with the
Messages intrinsic protection requirements, as established by current legislation in the countries
of the European Economic Community, in the face of dangers of any nature which may
put health or life at risk, whenever the machinery is in use and maintained in
accordance with these guidelines. Any danger resulting from improper use, not
complying with these provisions or others which are specifically provided with the
machinery, shall be the responsibility of the user and not of AUSA.
This section provides instructions on the use of the forklift, in accordance with that
established by the Directive for Safety of Machinery 98/37/CEE.
Before using the forklift which is initially unfamiliar, you should read the Handbook
closely and resolve any doubts with a supervisor (fig. 1).
The forklift must only be used by authorized and correctly trained personnel.
Operator clothing
Request the personal protective equipment required to carry out the work in safety, for
example: helmet, protective earmuffs, protective clothing, reflective gear, safety
glasses, etc. (fig. 2).
The wearing of bracelets, chains, loose ropes, long hair which is not tied up, etc., is not
recommended due to the risk of catching these in controls, rotating components,
edges, etc.
Description of a forklift truck

A forklift truck is a powered vehicle used for transporting or handling loads with the aid
of tools specific to the task in hand. The forklift is able to lift loads. It consists of a
resistant chassis resting upon two axles. The front axle is the drive axle and the rear axle
the steering axle, although versions exist in which both axles are drive axles.
At the front of the forklift is a mast, along which the fork carrier plate moves. The unit
formed by both is designed to lift and tilt the load forwards and backwards, making
handling easier .
Rudiments of static equilibrium

In order that the forklift is able to handle loads in a stable and safe manner, certain
equilibrium conditions must exist and be maintained between the load and the
machinery. Therefore, the forklift is fitted with counterweights at the rear. These are
designed to compensate for the weight of the load being carried, as long as the centre
of gravity of the load and the forklift are within certain established limits. In order to
calculate the values of the transportable weight and the position of the centre of gravity
permitted for the forklift see the Load chart in the section Procedures for the Use
of the Forklift in this Handbook.
(fig. 1)
(fig. 2)
C 300 H / C 300 H 4x4 / C 350 H / C 350 H 4x4

Special Rudiments of dynamic equilibrium

While the forklift is moving, and as it gains speed, the equilibrium conditions of the load-
Safety forklift unit are modified as the centre of gravity shifts. This is accentuated on lifting
loads, turning, braking, etc. In these conditions it is necessary to take the utmost care
Messages to ensure that the centre of gravity of the load is maintained within the specifications
given on the load chart label.
Static equilibrium of a conventional forklift

The forklift counterweight produces a situation of imbalance when the forklift is
unloaded. The centre of gravity is maintained low and close to the rear of the forklift.
When the load is collected, the imbalance is corrected and the centre of gravity shifts
forward. If the load is within the margins given on the load table, equilibrium is
maintained. As the load is lifted, the centre of gravity also rises, shifting upwards. At the
moment that the centre of gravity shifts beyond the forklift, the equilibrium is lost and
the forklift becomes unstable. Therefore, the forklift should not move while the load is
raised.
Stability
Do not carry unstable or loose loads, or loads which are oversized with respect to the
forklift. If very large or wide loads must be carried, every precaution must be taken to
prevent bumps or other possible accidents.
When carrying out lifting manoeuvres, particularly at height, ensure that the forklift is on
stable ground as level as possible.
Do not drive over objects which may endanger the stability of the machine.
The triangle of horizontal stability

To prevent the loads which are being transported from falling, it is necessary to consider
the triangle of horizontal stability (fig. 1). This is an imaginary inverted triangle, with the
lower end located on the centre of the rear axle and the two upper vertices on each of
the front wheels. Stability is guaranteed when the centre of gravity of load (C) and the
machine (M) always remain within an imaginary line, starting from the lower vertex of
the triangle to the centre of the base of the same, located between the front wheels.
Longitudinal stabilization
The risk of longitudinal overturning increases if the forklift is driven while the load is
raised. Sharp braking and accelerating or rapid tilting movements decrease stability.
(fig. 1)
18 C 300 H / C 300 H 4x4 / C 350 H / C 350 H 4x4
Special Transversal stability

The risk of overturning sideways increases on turning at incorrect speeds, while the
Safety forklift is unloaded or when the load is raised. Rough ground, sharp braking or
accelerating or shifts in the load make these conditions worse (fig. 1).
Messages Centre of gravity and the capacity of the forklift truck

Do not overload the forklift or handle loads which shift the centre of gravity beyond that
for which it is designed. Manoeuvre slowly, especially when changing direction on
slippery ground (fig. 2).
The load and counterweight

The load should be lifted and lowered with the mast in vertical position or slightly tilted
backwards. The raised load should only be tilted forwards when it is about to be
unloaded.
Tilting the load forwards or backwards (swinging) is very useful for collecting or
positioning the load, but affects the longitudinal and lateral stability. Therefore, when
handling raised loads, do not swing the mast more than is absolutely essential.
The forklift may tip forwards when carrying a raised load with the mast tilted forwards,
or in the event of sudden braking or accelerating while the load is raised.
If using an accessory attachment or tool, first check the permitted load. The
combination of the weight of the forklift plus the weight of the accessory or attachment
reduces the nominal load.
Critical speed
The speed at which the forklift moves affects its stability. When turning, braking, or
accelerating, the centre of gravity shifts within the triangle of stability. Sharp turns,
sudden braking or accelerating cause the centre of gravity to shift sharply and it may
fall outside the triangle. This is the moment when the stability of the forklift and the load
are not guaranteed and there is a risk of accident.
When manoeuvring reduce the speed of the forklift and avoid turning the steering wheel
sharply.

Special The surrounding area

Pedestrians in the surrounding area
Safety It is forbidden to carry persons on the forklift (fig. 1).

No-one is permitted to remain or cross below the forks when these are raised, whether
Messages they are laden or unladen.

Give way to the right to pedestrians found in your path.
Accesses and doors

Make sure that the passages and doors along the route are sufficiently high to allow all
the forklift to pass.
When carrying out lifting manoeuvers, pay special attention to the height of the roof,
lighting and other overhead installations.
Ground surface
Check that the ground is strong enough to bear the forklift when loaded, especially
when approaching bridges, the edges of embankments, concrete flooring, elevators,
etc. (fig. 2).
Lighting
The forklift working area should be adequately lit to prevent the risk of accidently
running over persons or colliding with obstacles. As soon as the daylight fades, the
forklift lighting system should be switched on. If the forklift is not equipped with lighting,
make sure that the working area is adequately lit. If this is not possible, do not continue
working with the forklift, this may result in an accident.
Loading bay. Communication. Shelving and installations. The load

The loading bay or area where the loads are handled should be correctly equipped and
signposted. The operating area of the forklift should be free of obstacles and
pedestrians, however if their presence is necessary, the pedestrians should move in
areas which have been duly marked as such and they should be easily distinguished,
for example, by wearing reflective jackets.
If the area is closed it should be well-ventilated and the forklift must be equipped with
lighting and exhaust gas purifier systems.
The forklift operator should be able to communicate normally with pedestrians. If the
surrounding area is excessively noisy, pedestrians should refrain from walking in the
immediate vicinity. If this is unavoidable, the utmost care should be taken. Radio
communication equipment should not be handled while driving the forklift. If it is
necessary to use the radio, pull over to one side and signal the position of the forklift,
using the lights or hazard warning lights.
Shelving for the loads have a series of marked passageways. The width of these should
be at least the width of the forklift plus 1 m. If the passageway is two-way, the width
must be sufficient to allow two forklifts to pass plus an additional 1.40 m.
(fig. 1)
(fig. 2)

Special Before using the forklift to handle loads check the load and ensure that the weight does
not exceed the forklift capacity. At the same time, check that the load is stabilized and
Safety correctly secured, to ensure that no part of the load falls off during transportation.
Messages Order and cleanliness

Carrying out a series of checks before starting the forklift and keeping the operator cab
clean help to make the work safer.
To do so, follow the maintenance table given in this handbook strictly, and keep the
operator cab clean and free of earth, gravel, mud, oil or other objects which may cause
falls.
Do not carry objects in the operator cab. These may injure the operator or accidently
activate the forklift controls.
General points about driving a forklift truck

Basic information for starting up a forklift truck
Fill up the tank with fuel while the engine is switched off and do not smoke while doing
so. Follow the instructions given in the section Fuel.
Do not start the forklift, or activate the controls if you are not seated in the operator cab.
Adjust the seat to your build.
Keep the driver’s cab free of objects and tools. These may move around, block a
control or a pedal, and prevent a manoeuver or stop the forklift.
Before starting to work with the forklift, clean any oil or fuel spills, clean and remove
grease from hands and the soles of shoes (fig. 1). Do not forget to carry out the
operations and daily checks listed in the General maintenance table.
Check the correct position and fastening of all the guards, caps and safety stops.
Check that all the controls are operating correctly.
Check that informative and safety plates on the forklift are clean and in good condition.
If they are not in good condition, replace the plates.
Check that lighting and signaling components are clean and work correctly. If they do
not work check the corresponding fuses and bulbs as shown in the section
Maintenance Operations.

Special Work circuit

The movement of loads within an installation or enclosure must be carried out following
Safety certain instructions concerning the circulation of forklifts and pedestrians. If you are not
aware of these regulations, please check with your supervisor. Study the movements of
Messages the forklift to avoid making manoeuvers which are unnecessary, or involve risk to the
surrounding areas. Find out which paths are suited to the type of vehicle you are driving
and the load carried. If it is necessary to drive along public highways, first check that
the forklift complies with current regulations of the country.
Work cycle
If it is necessary to move loads continuously and repeatedly, try to do so with the
minimum number of movements necessary, where possible. Reducing the number of
movements saves fuel and reduces the emission of exhaust gases.
If the work is very intense, remember to check the instrument panel from time to time,
especially in extreme climates, as the engine will be working in particularly hard
conditions.
Forklift truck circulation

When approaching a junction with poor visibility, reduce speed, emit acoustic warnings
and proceed slowly according to the available visibility.
The speed of the forklift should at all times be adapted to the working conditions and
the surrounding area. Systematically driving at the maximum speed permitted by the
machine may put the operator and the surrounding area at risk.
Driving in reverse
Ensure good visibility of the path to be taken. If the load being carried obstructs
visibility, reverse with the utmost of caution.
Before reversing, the operator should ensure that this does not involve risks for the
forklift, persons or objects in the surrounding area (fig. 1).
Driving on gradients
Special care should be taken when driving on gradients: move slowly, avoid placing the
machine across the gradient and do not work on gradients steeper than those
recommended.
The maximum permitted gradient does not imply that it is possible to manoeuver here
in absolute safety under all load, ground and operating conditions.
Gradients should be descended in reverse, with the load facing the direction of greatest
stability (fig. 1).

Special Parking the forklift truck

A poorly parked forklift truck is a risk.
Safety Park the forklift in the areas provided for this purpose, without obstructing the passage
of others, exits or entrances to stairs and emergency equipment.
Messages Park on level ground. If it is necessary to park the forklift on a gradient, in addition to
using the parking brake, place blocks against the wheels.
On leaving the forklift (fig. 1):
- Place the forks or tool at ground level.

- Put the parking brake on.
- Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
- Set all switches to position “0” (neutral).
- Block all the mechanisms for preventing the use of the machine by unauthorized
persons; particularly the ignition circuit, by removing the key.

Fuel
Handling
- Only use the fuel type authorized by AUSA. Do not use fuel mixed with oil, other
fuels or unsuitable additives.
- The correct fuel for the forklift is diesel. For further details regarding fuel type and
required specifications see the section Fluids and lubricants.
- Do not allow the fuel to come into contact with the skin and avoid inhaling the
fumes, which are toxic. High concentrations of fuel vapour may cause sickness,
loss of consciousness or even loss of life in the event of prolonged exposure. If
you experience symptoms such as sickness or loss of consciousness seek
medical advice immediately.
- Do not store fuel in closed places. The fuel vapours will alter the atmosphere of
the enclosure and may cause a fire or explosion.
- Use suitable impermeable clothing, safety glasses and gloves when handling
fuel.
When refuelling from a tank, bucket or barrel using a siphon, the following precautions
should be taken:
- If refuelling is by gravity, from a raised tank, open the fuel output valve of the tank
slowly.
- If the tank or barrel does not have an output valve use a suitable vacuum pump.

Operating Parking the forklift and stopping the engine

Note: Always park the forklift, whether at the end of the day or for maintenance
the forklift purposes, on level ground.
- Lower the forks to the ground, put on the parking brake and place the direction
of travel control switch and the joystick in neutral.
- If the forklift has been operating to the full keep the engine running at idle for 1
minute.
- To turn off the engine turn the key in the ignition switch anticlockwise to position
(a) (fig. 1 previous page).
- Remove the key from the ignition switch and take with you. Never leave the key
in the parked forklift.
Forklift nominal load

The nominal load is the load which can be safely carried by the forklift. It is determined
by the height of elevation and the weight of the load. The ground conditions and the
shape of the load may also reduce the weight which can be safely lifted. Excess loads
may cause instability, make driving difficult and risk the forklift overturning.
Check that the load to be lifted is within the limits given in the Load Table located on the
left-hand side of the overhead guard. The models C300H and C300H 4x4 have a load
capacity of 3000 kg. and de models C350H and C350H 4x4 have a load capacity of
3500 kg. with a centre of gravity at 500 mm from the vertical face of the forks.
The use of tools other than the standard forks provided with the forklift may reduce the
lifting and load capacity.
Load centre
Forklift manufacturers have standardized forklifts to a certain load weight and size. The
forklift capacity is based on a cube measuring 1 m on all three sides. The centre of
gravity is in the centre of the cube, therefore the centre of the load will be at 500 mm
from the vertical and horizontal face of the forks. It is important to remember that an
increase in the distance from the load centre will reduce the capacity of the forklift.
34 C 300 H / C 300 H 4x4 / C 350 H / C 350 H 4x4
Operating Alteration to the forklift/load relation

The forklift/load relation is modified by changes in:
the forklift - Attachable tools (see the corresponding Load Tables).
- Lifting height.
- Changes in the ground surface over which the forklift moves.
- Compaction and/or stability of the ground.
Forklift stability must be maintained while these these factors are constantly changing.
This requires careful judgement by the operator.
Lifting capacity
The stability of the machine is only maintained when the forklift is handling loads that
are within its load capacity and the operator has previously identified the factors
determining the forklift/load relation. The lifting capacity of the forklift is determined by
the safe height and weight limit of the load. Excess loads may cause instability, make
driving difficult and risk the forklift overturning.
Load charts (fig. 1)

The load limitations can be read in the Load charts. These give the loads that the forklift
is able to lift with a 100 mm displacement of the load centre from the nominal 500 mm.
It can be sen that these displacements reduce the load capacity to be lifted.
The Load Table is located on the left-hand side of the overhead guard so that it can
easily be viewed by the operator from the operator seat while using the forklift.
The table gives the loads which can be lifted on a level ground, with the load correctly
positioned on the forks (for example, a square box with the weight centred), and a lifting
height of 2.66 m.
At the foot of the table (horizontal axis X) the distance “D” is given in 10 centimeter
intervals. These distances show how the load centre can be shifted along the horizontal
surface of the forks. The load capacity in Kg. is given along the curve of the graph, as
the centre of gravity of the load shifts towards the ends of the forks.

Special Engine overheating

If the engine overheats and the engine temperature warning light on the control panel
procedures lights up, try the following:
- Check and clean the radiator coolant blades. See the section Regular
maintenance procedures in this manual.
- Reduce speed but keep the forklift moving in order to allow air to circulate
around the radiator.
- If the engine is still overheating after approximately one minute, stop the forklift,
set the direction of travel control switch to neutral, apply the parking brake and
switch off the engine.
WARNING
The radiator may be extremely hot. Use gloves before touching the
radiator.
- Allow the engine to cool. Check the level of coolant and top up if necessary.
- If the engine continues to overheat, refer the problem to an authorized AUSA

dealer as soon as possible.
After-use care
When the forklift is used in salt water areas (beach areas, etc.), rinse the machine with
fresh water to protect the forklift and its components from rust.
We recommend lubricating the metal components. This should be carried out at the
end of every day after using the forklift.
When the forklift has been working in muddy areas, it should be washed with fresh
water to protect the forklift and keep the lights clean.
Note: Never use high-pressure water to clean the forklift. ONLY USE LOW-
PRESSURE WATER. High-pressure water may cause electrical and mechanical
damage.
Overturning
In the event of the forklift overturning, the driver must avoid being trapped between the
machine and the ground. Therefore, we recommend:
- Try to remain inside the operator cabin.
- Hold onto the steering wheel tightly.
- Lean feet firmly onto the floor of the overhead guard.
- Try to keep as far away as possible from the point of impact.

Periodic General comments

Only original AUSA spare parts should be used during maintenance
Maintenance operations. This is the only way to guarantee that the AUSA machinery will
have the same operational level that it had upon delivery.
Operations This forklift, as with any machine, contains parts and systems which are subject to wear
or require re-adjusting, and which may affect the reliability of the machine and the
safety of the operator, the environment and the surrounding area, such as for example,
exhaust gas emissions. The necessary maintenance should be carried out regularly in
order to ensure similar conditions to those existing on leaving the factory.
In accordance with Work Equipment Directives, these systems should be inspected
regularly and the results recorded on the forms provided by the Labour Authorities of
each country. (89/655/EEC or RD 1215/97).
All repair and maintenance operations should be made while the forklift is unloaded, the
parking brake applied and the wheels blocked in order to keep the forklift stationary.
Disconnect the battery (fig. 1) before carrying out any work on the electrical system.
Never use a flame to check fluid levels.
Respect the environment

When changing oil or other fluids use a suitable container to collect the old fluid. Take
care not to cause damage to the environment and take all the replaced materials
(batteries, coolant, etc) to the appropriate recycling centres.
In the event of leaks of substances which may be harmful to persons or to the
environment, immediately take the necessary measures to reduce their impact, for
example in the case of oil leaks, plug the leak, use a recipient to collect the oil, sprinkle
absorbent material or collect up and remove the contaminated soil if necessary.
Access for maintenance

The engine, transmission and filters are located below the operator cabin (fig. 2). To
access these, lift up as follows:
- Start the forklift and tilt the mast forwards (the operator remains seated in the

Transporting Safety measures for loading the forklift onto a lorry or trailer using ramps

Before loading the forklift onto a lorry or trailer make sure that ramp
is strong enough to bear the weight of the forklift. The lorry platform
should be clean, and never greasy or frozen.
Do not transport the forklift with a full tank of fuel.
Loading the forklift onto a lorry or trailer using ramps
- Fasten the seatbelt.
- Drive the forklift up or down the ramps slowly and carefully.
- Set the forward-reverse directional travel control switch to neutral.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Lower the forks as far as possible.
- Place a bulk under the ends of each fork and tilt the mast slightly forwards.
- Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch.
- Once the machine has been loaded onto the lorry / trailer, place chocs behind
each of the four wheels.
- Tie the forklift tightly to the platform using suitable securing systems (chains,
belts or slings) making sure that these are sufficiently strong and suited to this
purpose (fig. 1).
Use the four eyes welded onto the chassis of the forklift for this purpose (fig. 2).

Transporting Safety measures for loading the forklift onto a lorry or trailer using a crane

The lorry or trailer platform should be clean, and never greasy or
frozen.
Do not transport the forklift with a full tank of fuel.
- When loading a forklift onto a lorry using a crane and cable or sling, hook the
cable or sling as shown in the figure (fig. 1).
- The slings used at the front should be at least 2.5 m in length.
- Before lifting the forklift, make sure that the cable or sling is securely attached.
- While lifting the forklift, no-one is permitted inside the cabin or within a 5 m
radius.
- Make sure that the angle of the front sling is approximately the same as that of
the mast.
Loading the forklift onto a lorry or trailer using a crane

Observe the following:
- The slings used at the front should be at least 2.5 m in length.
- Make sure that the angle of the front sling is approximately the same as that of
the mast.
- Once the machine has been loaded onto the lorry / trailer, place blocks behind
each of the four wheels.
(fig. 1)
- Tie the forklift tightly to the platform using suitable securing systems (chains,
belts or slings) making sure that these are sufficiently strong and suited to this
purpose (fig. 2).
Use the four eyes welded onto the chassis of the forklift for this purpose (fig. 3).

Transporting Towing the forklift

Conditions for towing the forklift
the forklift The forklift should only be towed in the event of breakdown when there is no other
alternative, as this could seriously damage the hydrostatic transmission. Wherever
possible, the repair should be carried out at the point of breakdown. In the event that
this is not possible, the forklift should be towed over short distances and at low speeds.
- Before towing the forklift, tighten (but not over-tighten) the central bolts of the
maximum pressure valves of the hydrostatic pump, to do so loosen the counter
nuts (fig. 1).
- After repairing the machine, loosen the central bolts of the maximum pressure
valve of the hydrostatic pump and re-tighten the counter nuts.
- The forklift should be towed using a solid towing bar to prevent any lateral
oscillation. The bar should be fixed to the rear bolt of the counterweight (fig. 2).
Release the parking brake (fig. 3, 4, 5)

In the event that the parking brake is blocked, due, for example, to a loss of brake fluid,
or because the engine does not start, proceed as follows to release it.
(fig. 1)
- Remove the bleeder (a) from the brake.
- Screw on the nipple (b) supplied in the forklift tool box.
- Using a hand pump lubricatior (c) insert grease until the internal pressure of the
lubricant manages to release the parking brake.
- To finally release the parking brake, unscrew the nipple (b). The lubricant will
come out of the brake thanks to the operation of the internal springs.
- Re-assemble the bleeder (a).

(fig. 2)
WARNING
a
Any repair to the brake system should be carried out by an authorized
AUSA dealer.
