SAFETY WARNING
For your own safety and that of others, please observe the following safety instructions:
Thorough and normative maintenance is one of the most important prerequisites to ensure
stable and reliable operation of truck. Neglecting regular maintenance could easily lead
to the truck malfunction and failure, and potential threats to staff and operational safety.
Therefore, there must be adequate maintenance equipment, professional maintenance
personnel and a comprehensive maintenance plan in place.
Please perform the maintenance and inspections according to the following provisions:
1. To strictly enforce the truck maintenance, lubrication and inspection plans.
2. Truck maintenance, lubrication and inspection personnel must be approved by accredited
certification or evaluation agency.
3. The following operations shall be performed before you leave the truck:
- No parking on slopes.
- Fully lower the forks.
- Cut off the power supply.
- Turn the switch lock to “STOP” and remove the key.
4. Prior to truck maintenance:
- Raise the drive wheel off the ground, or cut off the power supply connection.
- Use wooden wedges or other effective fixtures.
- When performing maintenance underneath the vehicle, make sure that the lifting device
or jack leg is secure.
- Park your vehicle in a safe and secure area.
5. Never use an open flame to check level of electrolyte, other oils or fluids for leaks.
6. Keep the parking lot clean, well-ventilated and dry.
7. Regular checks and maintenance should be conducted to braking, steering, control, warning
and safety devices to keep them in good condition.
8. All nameplates and safety signs on the truck should be cleaned regularly to make them
clearly visible.
9. Regular checks and maintenance should be conducted to all the devices of lifting system to
ensure them to be safe for use.
10. The hydraulic system should be checked regularly based on usage. Hydraulic cylinders,
hydraulic valves and other hydraulic components should be ensured to be without leakage.
11. Regular checks and maintenance should be conducted to batteries, motors, controllers,
limit switches, protective devices, wires and connectors, and so on. Please pay particular
attention to the electrical insulation.
12. Park the truck in a clean environment to minimize the risk of fire.
13. Without the permission of the manufacturer, users are not allowed to change or increase
the capacity of the truck. After having been changed under permission, the nameplates and
safety signs on the truck should also be changed accordingly.

specified.
- When jacking up the truck, appropriate tools,
such as wedge blocks, wooden blocks, and
so on, must be used to secure the truck to pr-
event the occurrence of accidental rolling or
tipping over.
WARNING
When lifting load components or during the
operations under the cabin, sufficiently strong
chains or safety device must be used to secure
