 Description of Danger, Warning, and Caution Decals 

Fasten Seat Belt Decal R DANGER

Tipover will occur if the forklift truck is improperly operated. Injury or death will result.

D00860

Survive in a Tipover Decal R DANGER

TIPOVER CAN OCCUR IF TRUCK IS IMPROPERLY OPERATED. INJURY OR DEATH WILL RESULT.

R WARNING FOR SAFETY NOTICE FOLLOWING WARNINGS (1) Lateral tipover can occur when unloaded if the combination of speed and sharpness of turn produces an overturning moment which exceeds the stability of the forklift truck. (2) Lateral tipover can occur if overloaded or loaded within capacity and the load is elevated and if turning and/or braking when traveling rearward or if turning and/or accelerating when traveling forward produces an overturning moment which exceeds the stability of the forklift truck. - Rearward tilt and/or off-center positioning of the load and/or uneven ground conditions will further aggravate the above conditions.

D00861

(3) Longitudinal tipover can occur if overloaded or when loaded within capacity of the load is elevated if forward tilt, braking in forward travel, or commencing rearward travel produces an overturning moment which exceeds the stability of the forklift truck. (4) Serious injury or death can occur to the operator if he/she is trapped between the forklift truck and the ground. IN CASE OF TIPOVER (1) The operator should stay with truck if lateral or longitudinal tipover occurs. The operator should hold on firmly to the steering wheel, brace feet, lean forward and lean away from the point of impact. (2) The operator should stay with the forklift truck if it falls off a loading dock or grades. There are other situations where the environment of landing area presents a severe hazard. In those incidents, it may be prudent for the operator to leave the forklift truck.

Operation Warning Decal R WARNING

For safety observe the following warnings (1) DO NOT operate this truck unless you have been trained and authorized to do so. Read all warnings and instructions in Operation & Maintenance Manual and on this truck. Operation & Maintenance Manual is supplied with this truck or available from our forklift truck dealers. (2) DO NOT operate this truck until you have checked its condition. Give special attention to Tires, Rims, Horn, Lights, Battery(s), Controller, Lift and Tilt Systems including forks or attachments, chains, cable and limit switches, brakes, steering mechanism, fuel system, hydraulic hoses and guards. (3) Operate truck only from designated operating position. Never place any part of your body into the mast structure, between the mast and the forklift truck, or outside the forklift truck. DO NOT carry passengers. (4) DO NOT operate the forklift truck without the overhead guard, unless conditions prevent use of a guard. Use special care if operation without overhead guard is required. (5) DO NOT handle loads which are higher than the load backrest or load backrest extension unless load is secured so that no part of it could fall backward. (6) DO NOT handle unstable or loosely stacked loads. Use special care when handling long, high or wide loads to avoid losing the load, striking bystanders, or tipping the forklift truck. (7) DO NOT overload truck. Check capacity plate for load weight and load center information. (8) Start, stop, travel, steer and brake smoothly. Slow down for turns and on uneven or slippery surfaces that could cause truck to slide or overturn. Use special care when traveling without load as the risk of overturn is greater. (9) Elevate forks or other lifting mechanism only to pick up or stack a load. Lift and lower with mast vertical or tilted slightly back---NEVER FORWARD. Watch out for obstructions, especially overhead. (10) Operate tilting mechanism slowly and smoothly. DO NOT tilt forward when elevated except to pick up or deposit a load. When stacking, use only enough backward tilt to stabilize load.

ď ľ

D00892

(11) Travel with load or lifting mechanism as low as possible and tilted back. Always look in direction of travel. Keep a clear view, and when load interferes with visibility, travel with load or lifting mechanism trailing (except when climbing ramps). (12) Use special care when operating on ramps--- travel slowly, and DO NOT angle or turn. When truck is loaded, travel with load uphill. When truck is empty, travel with lifting mechanism downhill. (13) Observe applicable traffic regulations. Yield right of way to pedestrians. Slow down and sound horn at cross aisles and wherever vision is obstructed. (14) When using forks, space forks as far apart as load will permit. Before lifting, BE SURE that load is centered and forks are completely under load. (15) DO NOT allow anyone to stand or pass under load or lifting mechanism. (16) DO NOT lift personnel except on a securely attached specially designed Work Platform. Use extreme care when lifting personnel. Place mast in VERTICAL position, place truck controls in NEUTRAL and apply brakes. Lift and lower smoothly. Be available to operate controls as long as personnel are on the Work Platform. Never transport personnel on forks or Work Platform. (17) Before getting off truck, neutralize travel control, fully lower lifting mechanism and set parking brake. When leaving truck unattended, also shut off power.

ď ľ Integrated Presence System Forklift trucks with this label are equipped with an "Integrated Presence System" (IPS). This system features an enhanced, integral computer-based feedback system which provides "certain product intelligence" to the operator. Be sure to operate the forklift truck and system correctly. Also be sure to properly maintain as well as operate the system at all times.

ď ľ

Mast Interlock System

The Mast Interlock System is one of the functions of the Integrated Presence System installed on this forklift truck. The forklift truck senses when the operator is not properly seated in the operator seat and will prevent the mast from operating until the operator is properly seated. In the following cases, the mast interlock system disconnects power to the hydraulic control valve and the mast will not lift, lower or tilt even if the control levers are operated:

R WARNING -

Check the mast interlock system for proper operation during the daily prestart inspection. DO NOT leave the forklift truck with the mast interlock system engaged. Lower the load completely to the ground, apply the parking brake, and turn the key switch to the z (OFF) position. Even when the engine is not running, while the operator is sitting correctly in the operator seat and with the key switch in the U (ON) position, it is possible for the mast to descend. Please be very careful. The parking brake is not automatically applied when the mast interlock is activated. When replacing the operator seat, BE SURE to order a genuine Mitsubishi forklift truck seat with an operator presence switch and an operator restraint system.

(1) The operator leaves the operator seat for 3 seconds with the key switch in the U (ON) position regardless of whether the engine is running or not. (2) When the operator leaves the operator seat for 3 seconds while the engine is running, the operator presence switch in the operator seat is activated, which causes the mast to be irresponsive, even if the lift, tilt and/or attachment levers are operated.

Driving Interlock System R WARNING

-

Check the driving interlock system for proper operation during the daily prestart inspection. The parking brake is not automatically applied when the interlock is activated. When replacing the operator seat, BE SURE to select a genuine Mitsubishi forklift truck seat with an operator presence switch and an operator restraint system.

1)

1)

E00398A 1) No Power Travel

-

-

In normal operation your forklift truck will drive in a creep mode when the direction lever is placed in the FORWARD or REVERSE position at engine idling (not depressing the accelerator pedal). The driving interlock system will not allow the forklift truck's transmission to stay in the FORWARD or REVERSE position when you are out of the operator seat. If the operator leaves the operator seat for 3 seconds, a switch in the operator seat activates the driving interlock system. This action causes the system to cut power and to electrically shift the transmission to NEUTRAL. The transmission will disengage but the direction lever will not physically move to the NEUTRAL position. To reactivate the transmission, sit in the operator seat and place the direction lever to the NEUTRAL position and back to the direction of travel. The parking brake does not synchronize with the driving interlock system and is not automatically applied when the interlock is activated. The forklift truck will start to move in the direction of the downgrade if on a grade. Even if the driving interlock system is activated, the forklift truck may move in the direction of the downgrade when the forklift truck is on a grade. In this case, apply the service brake and parking brake and sit securely in the operator seat.

In the following cases, the mast interlock system disconnects power to the hydraulic control valve and the mast and attachment will not move even if the operating control switches are operated: (1) The operator leaves the operator seat for approximately 3 seconds with the key switch in the U (ON) position regardless of whether the engine is running or not. (2) When the engine is running but the emergency mast stop button is in the STOP (lock) position (being pushed down).

HOW TO AVOID A TIPOVER / HOW TO SURVIVE ONE

 HOW TO AVOID A TIPOVER / HOW TO SURVIVE ONE Know What Forklift Truck Stability Is Counterbalanced forklift truck design is based on the balance of two weights on opposite sides of a fulcrum (the front axle). The load on the forks must be balanced by the weight of the forklift truck. The location of the center of gravity of both the forklift truck and the load is also a factor. This basic principle is used for picking up a load. The ability of the forklift truck to handle a load is discussed in terms of center of gravity and both forward and sideways stabilities. F00062

Center of Gravity (CG) Center of Gravity (CG) is defined as the point of an object where its weight is evenly distributed. If the object is uniform, its geometric center will be the same as its CG. If it is not uniform, the CG could be a point on either side of the normal geometric center. When the forklift truck picks up a load, the forklift truck and load have a new, combined CG.

1 F00063 1. CG

 Stability and Center of Gravity (Top View) The stability of the forklift truck is determined by the location of its CG, or if the forklift truck is loaded, the combined CG.

1

3

The forklift truck has moving parts and, therefore, has a CG that moves. The CG moves forward or backward as the mast is tilted FORWARD or BACKWARD. The CG moves up or down as the mast moves up or down.

F00088 1. CG truck 2. Combined CG

3. CG load

The CG and the stability of the loaded forklift truck are affected by the following factors: -

The size, weight, shape, and position of the load. The height of the lifted load. The angle of forward or backward tilt.

-

Dynamic forces created when the forklift truck accelerates, brakes, or turns. Condition and grade of surfaces on which the forklift truck is operated.

3-1


HOW TO AVOID A TIPOVER / HOW TO SURVIVE ONE These factors must be considered when the forklift truck is unloaded as well. Because an empty forklift truck will tipover more easily than a forklift truck carrying a load in the lowered position.

CG load 1

2 3 F00089 1. CG Load 2. Combined CG

3. CG truck

ď ľForklift Truck Stability Base In order for the forklift truck to be stable (not tip over FORWARD or to the side), the CG must stay within the area of the forklift truck stability base triangle drawn between the front wheels and the pivot of the rear axle.

1

If the CG moves forward of the front axle, the forklift truck will tip over FORWARD. If the CG moves outside of the line on either side of the stability base, the forklift truck will tipover to the side.

2 1. Combined CG

F00090 2. Stability base

ď ľ Capacity (Weight and Load Center) The capacity of the forklift truck is shown on the capacity plate. It is determined by the weight and load center. The load center is determined by the location of the CG of the load. The load center shown on the capacity plate is the horizontal distance from the front face of the forks, or the load face of an attachment, to the CG in the load. The location of the CG of the vertical direction is the same as the horizontal dimension. F00067

Keep in mind that, unless otherwise indicated, the capacity shown on the capacity plate is for a standard forklift truck with standard load backrest extension, forks, mast, and having no special-purpose attachment. In addition, the capacity presumes the load center is no further from the top of the forks than it is from the face of the load backrest extension. If these conditions do not exist, the operator may have to reduce the safe operating load because the forklift truck stability may be reduced. The forklift truck should not be operated if its capacity plate does not indicate capacity.

3-2


HOW TO AVOID A TIPOVER / HOW TO SURVIVE ONE

 Capacity Plate 

Sample

The capacity plate shown above is for a 13.5 ton (30000 lb) model standard forklift truck whose capacity is 13500 kg (30000 lb) at 600 mm (23.62 in.) load center. The plate specifies this forklift truck can lift up to 13.5 ton (30000 lb) if the load center is not more than 600 mm (23.62 in.) forward from the face of the lift bracket. Before attempting to pick up or lift a load, make sure its weight is within the capacity of the forklift truck at the load center involved. Note: If the load is not uniform, the heaviest portion should be placed closer to the lift bracket and centered on the forks.

REFUELING

ď Ž REFUELING ď ľDiesel Engine Equipped R WARNING -

BE SURE to use the fuels specified in the SERVICE DATA. If not, the engine could fail. Forklift trucks must be refueled only at designated safe locations. Safe outdoor locations are preferable to those indoors. Turn the engine OFF and get off the forklift truck during refueling.

-

Explosive fumes could be present during refueling. DO NOT smoke in refueling areas.

R WARNING

R WARNING Fire caused by static electricity! -

In dry seasons there is a lot of static electricity. When refueling, touch grounded metals with bare hand to discharge the static electricity before opening the filler cap. If not, the fuel could catch fire due to the static electrical spark.

R CAUTION -

DO NOT allow the forklift truck to become low on fuel or completely run out of fuel. Sediment or other impurities in the fuel tank could be drawn into the fuel system. This could result in difficult starting or damage to components. Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation to drive out moisture laden air and to prevent condensation. DO NOT fill the tank to the top. Fuel expands when it gets warm and may overflow.

(1) Park the forklift truck only at an authorized refueling area. (2) Lower the forks until the forktips touch the floor or ground. (3) Apply the parking brake. (4) Place the direction lever in the NEUTRAL position. (5) Turn the engine OFF. (6) Block the wheels. (7) Open the filler cap. (8) Fill the fuel tank slowly. (9) Close and tighten the filler cap. Note: If spillage occurs, wipe off excess fuel.

101540

Note: Drain water and sediment from the fuel tank as needed. Also, drain water and sediment from the main fuel storage tank before it is filled and as a weekly routine. This will help prevent water or sediment being pumped from the storage tank into the forklift truck fuel tank. How to display fuel consumption

OPERATION

 OPERATION New Forklift Truck Break-in Correct "break-in" is important for operation and the long life of your forklift truck. The first 100 service hours of operation are the "break-in period." Carefully read the following precautionary instructions:

R CAUTION -

-

After starting the engine, BE SURE to run it at idle speeds with no load for about 5 minutes. During this time, check all the warning icons and indicator icons in the meter panel. DO avoid long periods of idling. This may cause cylinder wall glazing and prevent the piston rings from seating properly. DO NOT pump the accelerator pedal and DO NOT rev up the engine. This may cause cylinder wall scuffing and scoring. If the forklift truck does not have to be put to work immediately, or the operation is light and slow, break in the forklift truck under a simulated working condition. Try NOT to drive the forklift truck continuously at the same speed because the parts tend to better adjust themselves to other parts if various speeds are used. Also, try NOT to make severe brake applications to allow the brake linings to seat against the brake drums. Operate the forklift truck under a lighter load and lower speeds than normal. Replace and lubricate parts at shorter intervals than normal periods. Carefully check on and around the forklift truck for loose bolts and nuts. Retighten them as needed.

 Before Starting Engine R WARNING -

BE SURE to read “SAFETY RULES FOR FORKLIFT TRUCK OPERATORS” for your safety and the safety of fellow workers. BE SURE to perform the DAILY (PRESTART) INSPECTION. Where forklift trucks are used on a round-the-clock basis, they must be inspected before each shift of work and operators.

R WARNING If at any time a forklift truck is found to be in need of repair, defective, or in any unsafe condition, the forklift truck must be taken out of service until it has been restored to safe operating condition. Report it immediately to the designated authority.

R WARNING BE SURE to fasten the seat belt before operating the forklift truck. Remember, the seat belt will not restrain you in an accident if it is not fastened properly.

E01023

R WARNING Before starting, always adjust the rear view mirror (if equipped) at a proper angle, as adjustment while driving could lead to accidents.

OPERATING TECHNIQUES

 OPERATING TECHNIQUES  Stacking Methods Stability of the loads depends upon how well the stack is formed. 

Stacking Different Size Loads

Make sure larger containers in a load are at the bottom of the stack and smaller ones at the top, or heavier containers at the bottom and lighter ones at the top.

K00109

Stacking Small Identical Loads

As in bricklaying, place layers of containers alternately so each container will sit across parts of two or more containers in the layer below. This type of stack is more stable and less likely to fall down.

K00110

Stacking Large Identical Loads

This is one of the most common patterns for stacking large identical containers. Better load stability is achieved by reversing the end-to-side direction on each succeeding layer.

K00111

6-1


OPERATING TECHNIQUES

 Handling Loads Safely R WARNING Handle ONLY stable loads to prevent the load from falling! -

-

Handle balanced loads only. Visually make sure that boxes or containers have not collapsed or are potentially dangerous. If the loads are not balanced or there is a danger of collapse, take appropriate measures such as binding with a band or loading the material into another container. DO NOT use broken pallets. It could cause the load to collapse.

K00148

R WARNING -

Handle ONLY loads within the capacity of the forklift truck as shown on the capacity plate. DO NOT place loads at the end of the forks even if they are within the capacity. DO NOT pick up loads that exceed the capacity. Otherwise, it can create very dangerous situation, disabling the operation of steering wheel as the rear wheels are lifted off the ground.

TROUBLESHOOTING

 Starting With Jumper Cables To start a truck with a "run-down" battery, use a booster battery or jumper cables from the battery of a second truck.

R WARNING -

Batteries give off flammable gas which could explode. Keep flames and sparks away from batteries. They could cause gas to explode. DO NOT smoke when checking battery electrolyte levels. Improper jump start procedures could cause an explosion that could result in injuries. Turn OFF all lights and accessories on the stalled truck. Always connect battery positive (+) to battery positive (+) and battery negative (-) to engine body. Jump only with a battery source of the same voltage as the stalled truck. DO NOT allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the forklift truck. Electrolyte is an acid and could cause injury if it contacts skin or eyes. Always wear eye protection when starting an engine in the forklift truck with jumper cables. BE SURE to connect the cable end 4 to the ENGINE BODY. If it is connected to the negative (-) terminal of the battery, sparks could ignite the gases.

R CAUTION -

Connect the jumper cables away from the moving parts in the engine compartment. When carrying batteries, provide short circuit prevention to the terminals. If metals come in contact with the terminals, a short circuit could result. - DO NOT touch the cable with wet hands. If touched, it may result in an electrical shock. Note:

MAINTENANCE Adding coolant

R WARNING Keep fire away from undiluted antifreeze as it is FLAMMABLE.

R CAUTION -

DO NOT add water only. This dilutes the antifreeze/summer coolant protection and adversely affects the engine. Be sure to premix antifreeze/summer coolant with distilled water (soft water). See 12-5 "Specifications (Standard Models)" and 12-7 "Refill Capacities". If coolant has to be added frequently, have your Mitsubishi forklift truck dealer check the cooling system. Antifreeze/summer coolant (ASC) contains rust inhibitors. It is not necessary to add other chemicals. Recommended concentration range of ASC is 30% to 60% by volume. ASC of less than 30% concentration does not provide sufficient corrosion protection. Concentrations over 60% adversely affect freeze protection and heat transfer rates. Avoid mixing different brands of coolant. Select an ASC suitable for use in engines using aluminum alloy parts. Select an ASC which contains silicate of less than 0.2% by weight.

-

-

(1) Remove the reserve tank cap and add coolant to the FULL mark. (2) When adding coolant, maintain the same concentration of antifreeze solution. Note: The engine cooling system is protected to –30°C (-22°F) with 50% concentration of antifreeze/summer coolant (ASC) when shipped from the factory. (3) Put the reserve tank cap back on.

SERVICE DATA

 SERVICE DATA  Fuel Information Use only fuel recommended in this section. 

Fuel Specifications

Fuel types The recommended fuels provide maximum engine service life and performance. They are distillate fuels. They are commonly called diesel fuel, furnace oil, gas oil or kerosene (for cold weather operation). Note: The manufacturer strongly recommends the use of fuels that meet the recommended fuels specification. Fuel sulfur content -

The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will affect the engine oil recommendations. Fuel sulfur is chemically changed during combustion to form both sulfurous and sulfuric acid. These chemically attack metal surfaces and cause corrosive wear. Any API classification performance of oil should have sufficient Total Base Number (TBN) for fuels with less than 0. 5% sulfur. For fuels with 0.5% to 1. 5% sulfur by weight, engine oil must have a TBN of 20 times the percentage of fuel sulfur as measured by the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) D-2896 method. (ASTM D-2896 can normally be found at your local technological society, library or college.)

 Coolant Information The manufacturer recommends that the coolant mix contain 50% commercially available automotive antifreeze, and 50% water. Note: -

-

-

-

To reduce the risk of damage to your engine, do not add coolant to an overheated engine. Allow the engine to cool first. Dowtherm 209 full-fill coolant will lower the water pump cavitation temperature and boiling point. These lowered temperatures will cause overheating at a lower ambient temperature than an ethylene glycol and water mix. If Dowtherm® is used, follow the instructions provided and use only the inhibitor package recommended by the supplier. If the forklift truck is to be stored in, or shipped to, an area with freezing temperatures, the cooling system must be protected to the lowest expected outside (ambient) temperature. The engine cooling system is protected with a commercially available automotive antifreeze when shipped from the factory. In cold weather, check the specific gravity of the coolant frequently to ensure adequate protection. Clean the cooling system if it is contaminated, the engine overheats or foaming is observed in the radiator. Old coolant should be drained, the system cleaned and new coolant added---as recommended---using a commercially available automotive antifreeze. Filling at over 5 L (1.3 U.S. gal.) per minute could cause air pockets in the cooling system. After draining and refilling the cooling system, run the engine with the radiator cap off. Run it until the coolant reaches its normal operating temperatures and the coolant level stabilizes. Add coolant as required to fill the system to the proper level. Operate with a thermostat in the cooling system all year round. Cooling system problems could arise without a thermostat.

12-1


SERVICE DATA 

Coolant Water

The manufacturer recommends the use of distilled water or deionized water to reduce the potential and severity of chemical insolubility. -

Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and magnesium ions encourages the formation of insoluble chemical compounds by combining with cooling system additives such as silicates and phosphates. The tendency of silicates and phosphates to precipitate outof-solution increases with increasing water hardness. Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and magnesium ions, encourages the formation of insoluble chemicals, especially after a number of heating and cooling cycles.

Using water that meets the minimum acceptable water requirement may not prevent dropout of these chemical compounds completely but should control the dropout rate at acceptable levels.

Antifreeze Solution

The manufacturer recommends that the coolant mix contain 50% commercially available automotive antifreeze, or equivalent, and acceptable water to maintain an adequate water pump cavitation temperature for efficient water pump performance. Note: -

12-2

Do not add pure (100%) antifreeze to the cooling system. Add antifreeze mixed with distilled water using the same freeze protection ratio that is in your cooling system. Premix the coolant solution to provide protection to the lowest expected outside (ambient) temperature. Pure undiluted antifreeze will freeze at -23°C (-10°F). Use a greater concentration (above 50%) of commercially available automotive antifreeze only as needed for anticipated outside (ambient) temperatures. Do not exceed the coolant-to-water mix ratio recommendations provided with the commercially available automotive antifreezes. Most commercial antifreezes are formulated for gasoline engine applications and will, therefore, have high silicate content.
