SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR e
When lifting parts or assemblies, make sure that all slings, chains, or cables are correctly fastened and that the load being lifted is balanced. Make sure that the crane, cables, and chains have the capacity to support the weight of the load.
e
Do not lift heavy parts by hand. Use a lifting mechanism.
e
Wear safety glasses.
e
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair on electric lift trucks.
e
Always use correct blocks to preventthe unit from rolling or falling. See “How to Put the Lift Truck on Blocks” in the OPERATOR’S MANUAL or SECTION 2, GENERAL TRUCK AND LUBRICATION.
Lift batteries correctly with a crane or equipment designed for the job. Always use a spreader bar designed and adjusted for the battery. Move batteries with a lift truck, or a conveyor or rollers designed for that purpose. If the battery does not have a cover, a rubber mat or insulating material must be put over the top of the battery to prevent a short circuit with other equipment. Make sure the the lifting equipment has enough capacity for the job. Do not use chain or wire rope slings. Never put metal materials or tools on a battery. When maintenance on the battery or the battery charger is required, disconnect both the AC and DC power. If new battery connectors must be installed, make sure the positive and negative terminals and cables are kept separate and insulated from each other. Even a momentary short circuit can cause an explosion and damage the battery.
e
Keep the unit and working area clean and in order.
e
Use the correct tools for the job.
e
Keep the tools clean and in good condition
Keep water readily available to flush spilled electrolyte. Electrolyte in the eyes must be flushed with water immediately and then quickly get medical attention. Special showers and eye wash systems are required in areas where battery maintenance is done.
e
Always use YALE APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts must meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment manufacturer.
If electrolyte is spilled on a work surface or the floor, flush the area with water, use a solution of soda (sodium bicarbonate) to make the acid neutral.
e
Make sure that all nuts, bolts, circlips, and other fastening devices are removed before using force to remove parts.
e
Always fasten a DO NOT OPERATE sign to the controls of the unit when making repairs or if the unit needs repairs.
Only trained persons are permitted to do maintenance on batteries and battery chargers. Make sure that the regulations by government safety agencies, government insurers, private insurers, and private organizations are followed when doing maintenance on batteries.
e
Make sure you follow the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION notes in the instructions.
e
Wear a rubber apron, gloves, boots, and goggles or a face shield when doing maintenance on batteries.
e
Batteries generate hydrogen gas when they are being charged. Keep open fire away from batteries. Do not check the electrolyte level with a match or a lighter. No smoking and do not create sparks. Make sure the area has ventilation. If the battery is charged in the lift truck, open the bonnet.

A
Depress accelerator pedal to travel
CAUTION: Operating the drive control in a situation where the truck will not move will damage the electric motor.
1. Keep hands, feet and other parts of your body inside the operator's compartment. Parts of your body outside the truck can be injured when passing obstructions. 2.
Do not permit passengers to ride on the truck.
3. Observe and comply with instructions concerning floor loadings. Know the weight of your truck and load combined. Truck weight information is located on the name plate. Travel with the lifting mechanism low and where possible, tilted back. Do not elevate the load except during stacking. 4.
1-3
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5. The operator can change the direction of travel while the lifttruck is moving by moving the direction control lever in the opposite direction. This is called plugging.
6. Look in the direction of travel and keep a clear view of the path of travel. 7 . If visibility is impaired by the load, operate truck with the forks trailing and always look in the direction of travel.
8. Start, stop, travel, steer and brakesmoothly. Slow down for turns and on uneven or slippery surfaces that could cause truck to overturn or slide. 9. Before entering trucks or trailers, be certain the brakes on the truck or trailer are applied and wheel chock(s) are in place. If trailers are not coupled to a tractor, supports may be needed to prevent upending or corner dipping. Check the flooring of trucks, trailers and railroad cars for breaks and weakness before driving onto them.
10. Before driving over a dock board or bridge plate, be
certain that it is properly secured. Drive carefully and slowly across the dockboard or bridge plate and never exceed its rated capacity. 11. Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps or platforms. Do not push freight cars while on a raised dock or platform. Do not use this truck for opening or closing'freight doors.
12. Watch clearances, especially around forks. The driver must be aware that the forks can sometimes extend beyond the load. This may cause the forks to hit an object or lift another load. 13. Watch outfor obstructions, especiallyoverhead. Check clearances. 14. Do not run over objects on the roadway surface as truck stability and steering may be adversely affected. 15. When approaching cross aisles, slow down, sound horn and keep to the right side of aisle. 16. Operate truck under all conditions at a speed that will permit it to be brought to a stop in a safe manner. 17. On sloping surfaces, higher than 5 percent (a5ft. rise or drop in 100 ft. of travel), operate loaded truck with the load facing up hill. Do notturn on an slope. For stability reasons, a lift truck must not be driven across a slope. 18. Operate unloaded truck on all grades with the lifting mechanism downhill. 19. Do not push extra loads with the truck.
1-4
20. Watch out for pedestrians at all times. Do not drive up to anyone standing in front of an object.
Q
21. Observe all traffic regulations, including authorised plant speed limits. Under normal traffic conditions, keep to the right. Maintain a safe distance from the truck ahead (approximately three truck lengths), and keep the truck under control at all times. 22. Yale lift trucks are not intended for use on public roads.
23. When leaving truck unattended, lower the lifting mechanism, shut off power, remove key and apply parking brake. Chock wheels if truck is parked on an slope. 24. Do not remove overhead guard or load backrest extension unless specifically authorised. 25. Always set the forks as far apart as the load will permit. Make sure that fork length is at least 213 of load length. 26. Carry the load flush against the truck. 27. Do not put any part of your body into the mast area or between the mast and truck. Be aware of pinch points on attachments, especially reach mechanisms. 28. Allow no one under or near load or lifting mechanism. 29. If a supplementary platform is used, make sure it is securely fastened to the carriage and forks.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE When leaving the truck, fully lower lifting mechanism, ensure controls are in neutral, shut off power, apply the brake, and remove key. If you park the truck on an slope, chock the wheels. FORK ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the forks on the fork carriage. Forks should be spaced as far apart as the load being moved will allow. Both forks should always be the same distance from the centre of the fork carriage. Checkforthe presence and condition ofstuds at each end of the carriage upper fork clip slide. If studs are damaged or missing they should be repaired or replaced before the forks are adjusted.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To adjust the forks, raise them a few inches off the floor. Lift up on the keeper pin and slide theforks along the carriage by pushing them away from you.

WARNING: Use extra care when towing a lift truck if there is a problem with any of the
Tow the lift truck slowly.
3. Raise the carriage and forks approximately 12 inches (30 cm) from the surface. Install a chain to prevent the carriage and upright channels from moving. See Section 8, MAST. 4. If another lift truck is used to tow the disabled lift truck, that lift truck must have an equal or larger capacity than the disabled lift truck. Install an approximate half capacity load on the forks of the lift truck that is being used to tow the disabled lift truck. This half capacity load will increase the traction of the lift truck. Keep the load as low as possible.
5. Use a steel towing chain attached to the tow pins in the counterweights of both lift trucks. Never lift a disabled lift truck unless the lift truck must be moved and cannot be towed. The lift truck used for lifting the disabled truck must have a rated capacity equal to or greater than the weight of the disabled lift truck. The capacity must be for a load centre equal to half the width of the disabled lift truck. See the name plate of the disabled lift truck for the approximate total weight. The forks must extend the full width of the disabled lift truck. Centre the weight of the disabled lift truck on the forks and be careful not to damage the under side of the lift truck.
NOTE: There may be problems with more than one of the above areas of the truck. Do not tow the lift truck if you have not identified all problem areas.
