About safety Safety is significant for you, this Chapter will primarily introduce elementary safety regulations and cautions of standard forklift during normal operation, and furthermore, this Chapter is also suitable for the forklift with special mast and attachment. 1. Main application of the forklift 1) Main application of the forklift The main application of the forklift is to load and unload, stack and carry the goods placed on the pallet. In addition, after installing the proper attachments on the forklift, the forklift can be also used to load and unload, transport and stack the goods which are not placed on the pallet 2) The use forbidden out of the purpose The use out of purpse indicates that forklift travels with carrying people, people are lifted high or other vehicle is towed, the application method forbidden in the Manual absolutely should not be implemented. Instance of application out of the use range: © The personnel standing on the fork or pallet.is lifted ‘© The personnel stands on the pallet to press the goods. ‘© Hang the wire rope on the fork to hoist goods directly. * Tow other vehicles. ‘Use fork to push goods or other vehicle. * Use fork to open and close other truck door, etc.2. The operation place and working environment of the forklift 1) Ground status The operation place for forklifts shall be even and hard road surface or ground surface withgood ventilation. The forklift performance depends on the ground condition. Pay special attention when driving on the slope or ough road. Travel speed should be decelerated to make the machine travel slowly. Advvarning © Ensure the forklift won’t be trapped into the muddy road. ‘© Round the obstacle, when the obstacle can't be avoided, drive slowly and do not damage the vehicle chassis. When the forklift is driven on the road surface with ice and snow, the tire chain shall be used, sudden acceleration, hard braking and sharp turn shall be avoided, and the travel speed should be controlled by the force from accelerator pedal Awning * Tire chain can increase the adhesion between the forklift and the ground surface, but the sideslip performance will be reduced, which shall be paid special attention to 2) Climate conditions Advrarning In case of heavy wind, try not to perform the high lifting operation as possible as you can. Otherwise, the falling of the goods may cause accidental injuries to the driver. 3) Measures for cold and hot weather a) Oil Use the oil suitable for ambient temperature as, different seasons. ) Battery © In cold season, under normal charging condition, the freezing point of electrolyte is about -35°C. Battery shall be charged under excellent condition. assure the battery is at the normal condition, under which the battery can start the machine. If he battery lose power, park the forklift at the place with the high temperature. After the electrolyte frozing, the battery shell will be damaged due to volume expansion of the battery. in order to prevent electrolyte being frozen, battery shall be charged to at least 75% of gross capacity. The best method is to maintain specific gravity at 1.260 , but do not exceed this value, ‘* In the hot season, Because the water in the electrolyte will be vaporized, please add distilled water at any moment, check the electrolyte once a week and add distilled water. When the ambient temperature is higher, the electrolyte specific gravityshould be reduced to 1.220+0.01. The battery is more efficient under the high temperature, so there is no need of other maintenance. A Hazards * The gas generated by the battery will be explosive, don't smoke or use open fire, don't generate electric are or sparkle beside the battery, when the battery is stored or charged in the closed space, ventilation shall be favorable. The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which will cause burt, the eyes, skin and clothes shall avoid electrolyte, if they touch sulfuric acid, they shall be cleaned with water, when the sulfuric acid spatters into eyes, the worker shall go to hospital. C) Coolant in the radiator © The cooling system of the forklift is equipped with long effect antifreeze fluid, The freezing point of this fluid is -35°C In the hot season, in order to approach the good cooling effect, frequently clean the exterior of the radiator. When park the machine outdoors, park the machine in the shady and cool place. Note:Do not operate the forklift in combustible and explosive environment. 3.

Safety problems during the installation, adjustment and use of the attachment 1) installation of the attachment In order to ensure that the attachment can not slide from the right to left along with the fork arm carriage in the use process to cause safety issue, the attachment must be installed and located reasonably, reliably and safely, After the attachment is equipped, the block of upper hook equipped with the attachment should be inserted in the gap of cross beam, to make the offset between the center lines of attachment and fork arm lower 50mm, if not the cross stability can be affected; after the attachment (paper clip, soft clip, multi-purpose steel arm clip and barrel clip ete.) with rotary funetion is installed, the stop block should be weld at the two sides of connection of cross beam. of fork arm carriage and attachment, to prevent the left and right sliding of attachment in the operation process; when the attachment with lower hook is installed, the clearance at the mating place of the lower hook and lower cross beam of fork should be properly adjusted. All attachments in the world adopt the hook installation, the mating installation of attachment and forklift truck should not have any issue, you should choose the attachment of mating the forklift truck strictly according to the internal standard ISO 2328 “Installation size of hook-type fork and for arm carrier”. 2) Use of the attachment 20 a, b. The operator who operates the attachment of forklift should have the practical experience of operation, at the same time the operator first should be familiar with the related indication on the nameplate of forklift, read the related use instruction (especially for the use guideline and installation instruction of professional attachment fully know the performance and operation method of company,) basic attachment, and especially have a more detailed understanding for the allowable load of forklift, lifting height, size of goods and available range of, attachment. When you operate the attachment of forklift with many functions (side-move, clamping or rotary ete. functions), the two actions should not_—_be simultaneously done, the action should be done after the other action is finished, The overload of forklift with attachment is forbidden, the offset is not allowed when the load is lifted at high position, for the offset load operation at high position (especially the side-move type flat clamp with combination valve, that is the shared flat clamp of side-movable oil cylinder and adjustable oil cylinder), there only is allowed a short time operation, the offset should be strictly controlled within the range of about 100mm; That the forklift with attachment is driving at high position is forbidden;e. Standing under the attachment of, forklift and the 1.5m range out of the shadow area of goods is forbidden, to avoid the accident. £ Without our company’s _ technical permission, any modification for the safety and performance of attachment of forklift is strictly forbidden. A Caution The “bearing capacity” on the sample instruction issued by all attachment manufacturers only is an evaluated value for the attachment itself, and is not the bearing capacity when the whole forklift is equipped with the attachment, The bearing capacity of forklift equipped with attachment should be that the bearing capacity of forklift without attachment subtracts the weight of attachment when the load center is not changed, when the load center is changed, the bearing capacity should be confirmed according to the load curve chart 217. Precautions during the operation of the liquid gas forklift 1) Precautions when filling the gas a) There are two methods for refilling the fuel for the liquid gas forklift: one method is replacing the gas bomb, the other method is charging the gas into the gas bomb on the forklift directly. + Refill gas or replace the gas bomb outdoors. The site for carry out the operation should be ventilated well, safe and conforms to the local fire protection criteria. + The forklift should be parked stably, then shut down the forklift , and the operator should leave the seat, + Fireworks is prohibited around and be not close to the hot source, fire source and low-lying places (avoid the liquid gas accumulating and not dispersing). + Be cautious to depose the gas bomb. After disassembling the gas bomb from the forklift, do not impact, throw or let the gas bomb roll on the ground. + When refilling the gas, it is necessary for the trained and experimental personnel to carry out the operation. + when refilling the gas, related personnels + and do not should monitor the whole proces leave the filed b) habit of inspecting the gas bomb. very time replace the gas bomb or charge the gas, the operating personnel should make a + Whether there is the serious indent, the scoring or the rustiness on the gas bomb body . + Whether the appearance of all accessories on the gas bomb are damaged obviously. Whether there is any gas leakage. + Whether there is any eyewinker which blocks the relief valve on the gas bomb. + Inspect whether the gas bomb is within the effective period of the annual examination, if expires, declare the annual examination to the local appropriate agencies as soon as it possibly. For the gas bomb over ISyears of service life, if it is not approved by the department, the gas bomb should be discarded. Acaution If any of the above status happens, do not use the gas bomb or charge the gas. Attempt to replace and repair the gas bomb. 2) The quality and composition of liquid gas fuel The purity of the liquid gas will affect the operation of the forklift directly. If there are the impurity, the eyewinker, the moisture and excessive tar, each pipeline and accessories in the liquid gas system will be blocked, thus the fault may occur. Even slightly, the engine can not run smoothly, the output power is not sufficient. Heavily, the engine will be stopped and started up 2easily, + It is necessary to adopt the high purity with low composition of the impurity, the moisture and the tar. Especially apply the liquid gas fuel in which propylene content should not higher than 5%, + If the local gas source is not good, be sure to perform the maintenance regularly in order to eliminate the eyewinker and the tar accumulated in the system, Replace the filter screen piece and so on, so that the engine will run smoothly. The poorer the quality of the fuel is, the shorter the maintenance period for the single time is. + At the cold district or the temperature is below the 0°C, the natural evaporation rate gets slow, at this time, it is better to increase the propane in the liquid gas, so that the liquid gas volatilizes, 3) Disposal of the accident and the emergency a) Fill the odorant to the general liquid gas, therefore the leakage condition can be tested easily. If smell a peculiar taste: + Drive the forklift to the place with good ventilation in the open air. Shut down the engine. Make sure there is any fireworks around, + Screw and close the hand cutoff valve on the gas bomb, + Check each pipeline, interface and conversion device progressively and carefully, find out the leakage part, ask for the qualified or experimental technical pesronnel to perform the operation, b) Ifthe accident happens: + Park the forklift immediately, shut down the engine, + Screw and close the hand cutoff valve on the gas bomb, + Make sure there is no fireworks around, use the fan to exhale the leakage gas if necessary. + Ask for the qualified or experimental technical pesronnel to check the problem completely and perform the maintenance. ©) Ifthe fire oceurs:: + Ifpossible, rotate and close the hand cutoff valve switch, + If there is the water source, water the gas bomb to cool it down. + Inform the fire departure of firefighting. + If the gas bomb fires, it is necessary to evacuate the personnel nearby emergently. 4) Precaution during the operation + Do not operation the forklift at the place which has the fire source. + All the electrical wire connection should be fast to avoid the short circuit and other faults, + Do not use the fuel oil indicator which is on the fuel LPG forklift, prior to the liquidometer 2Bon the gas bomb Do not fill the combustible fluid to the fuel tank of the fuel LPG forklift. After eliminating the oil tank, fill the oil tank with the non-fuel antifreeze materials, then cover the oil tank port. Adopt the liquefied petroleum gas fuel with the high purity, good quality and composition as possible as it can. As the method that recommended by the original gasoline engine factory, perform the maintenance regularly, including the igniting system, the cooling system, the air intake system and the exhaust system., the engine body and other mechanical equipments, regularly replace the engine oil, the spark plug and the screen of the air filter, ete. The liquid system should be maintain periodically. If there is some trouble in the liquid gas system, report to the original converted factory to repair. The converted factory will designate a repair shop to carry out the repair operation. 248.

Relationship between load and forklift stability Within the load curve, the forklift will take the front wheel center as the supporting point to maintain balance of vehicle body and the load on the fork, consider the load and load center to maintain stability of vehicle. Avvorning + If work exceeds the load capacity, the rear wheel will be raised and under severe condition, and the forklift will probably roll over and cause severe accident. As the Figure, if the goods approach the tip, the result is same as increasing goods weight, under this condition, the load shall be reduced accordingly. (om) 10 mmm] (pivots to the machine labels) 4B3. Load center and load curve The load center is the distance from the front face of fork vertical section to the goods gravity center, The above load capacity chart indicates the relationship between the forklift load center and permissible load (allowable load), the load curve label plate is pasted on the vehicle, if it is damaged or lost, new one shall be used. Advvarning + If the vehicle is equipped with the attachment of handling goods, such as side shifter or wheel fork, the allowable load is lower than the corresponding standard forklift (without any attachment), and the causes are as follows: a) The load equivalent to the weight of attachment is decreased. b) Because the load center will move forward due to the length of attachment, the allowable load will be reduced in the same principle. + If the installation of attachment cause load center to move forward, it'll be called loss of “Load center”. + The attachment can’t exceed the allowable load of load curve pasted on the vehicle or attachment, 4. Forklift stability The stability standard of forklift is stipulated in ISO of related domestic standard, however, the stability stated in these standards are not suitable for all running states, and the forklift stability will be different due to different running states. Under the following running state, the maximal stability can be ensured: a. Ground is leveled and hard; b. Operate under standard no-load or load state. Standard no-load state: The fork or other carrying accessories are 300mm above ground, the mast tilts back in position with no load. Standard load state: The fork or other carrying accessories are 300mm above ground, under the standard allowable load of load center, mast tilts backward in position Adviarning When the goods are unloaded, the mast shall tilt forward and backward minimally, unless the load is fixed reliably or the lifting height is lowered, don’t tilt forward. 5.
