Never attempt a slope with a gradient greater than that specified in the truck's data sheet.
Make sure that the ground is dry with non-slip surface and that the route is clear.
Ascending slopes
Always ascend slopes travelling in the reverse direction, with the load facing uphill. Without a load, it is recommended to ascend
slopes forwards.
Descending slopes
Travel down slopes must always be forwards, with the load uphill. Without a load, it is recommended to descend slopes
forwards. In all cases, travel at a very low speed and brake very gradually
DANGER: Risk to life and/or risk of major equipment damage. Never park the truck on a slope. Never make a U-turn or take
shortcuts on a slope. On a slope, the operator must drive very slowly.
Starting on a slope
If you have to stop and then start on slope, proceed as follows:
Stop on the slope by pressing the accelerator in the opposite direction until the machine comes to a standstill.
Return the accelerator to the neutral position, then release the accelerator control button to apply the parking brake.
To restart, press the accelerator button for the desired direction. The truck will move.
Hoisting the truck
This section explains the attachment of lifting equipment to the truck for the purpose of hoisting. Many methods of rigging to a
crane or hoist are possible. Explanation of such methods as well as operation of lifting equipment is outside the scope of this manual. Both the attachment of lifting
equipment to the truck and the hoisting operation itself must be performed by personnel experienced in hoisting.
WARNING: Lifting equipment of insufficient capacity can fail and cause severe injury or death.
Ensure that all lifting slings, hardware, or other equipment has sufficient capacity to carry the weight of the truck. Refer to the truck data plate for truck weight. If a
battery is installed, its weight must be added to the truck weight listed on the data plate. Switch the truck off and press the emergency stop button. Attach lifting
equipment to the holes in each side of the chassis. Attach lifting equipment to the fork tips to keep the truck approximately horizontal as it is lifted.
Operator daily checklist
At the beginning of each shift, inspect your truck by using the EP operator's daily checklist. If necessary, refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for details
on how to carry out this inspection. Check for damage and maintenance problems. Any necessary repairs must be completed before the truck is operated. In
addition to daily inspection, scheduled maintenance is vital to safe operation of the truck. Adhere to the inspection, lubrication and maintenance schedule given in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Check for fluid leakage
Check the entire truck as well as the surface beneath it for signs of fluid leakage.
Check forks and chassis
Inspect the forks, chassis, and if equipped, the load back rest for deformity, cracks, or other damage.
Check battery connector
Disconnect and reconnect the battery to confirm smooth operation. Inspect the battery connector and its cables for damage.
Check decal condition
Inspect all decals and the data/capacity plate for condition and legibility. Decal locations are given in the overview section of this manual. Any damaged or
unreadable decals must be replaced.
Check control handle pivot
Check the pivot point where the control handle attaches to the chassis for smooth operation by moving the handle through its entire range.
Check operating controls
Returnspring: Pull the control handle down into its operating range and release it. It should return to the vertical position under spring tension.
Brake interlock - handle
Operate the truck in forward or reverse. Move the control handle all the way up or down out of the operating range without releasing the travel control. The drive
system should switch off and the brake should engage after a delay.
Brake interlock - travel control
Operate the truck in forward or reverse. Release the travel control without moving the control handle out of its operating range. The truck should slow to a stop using
electric braking. Emergency reverse button
Operate the truck forwards and press the emergency reverse button. The truck should stop and then move in the opposite direction until the button is released.
Perform operational check
Before returning the truck to service, perform an operational check of the following items:
Electro-magnetic brake (audible sound during engage/release)
Multi-function display/battery discharge indicator
Horn
Forward and reverse travel
Electric braking (plugging)
Fork lift and lower function (operate through complete range of motion)
Working lights (if equipped)
