FOREWORD
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) prohibits employees under the age of 18 years old from operating forklift trucks, and is now mandating operator training for all forklift truck operators. SAFE and EFFICIENT OPERATION of a forklift truck depends to a great extent on the skill and alertness of the operator. To develop the skill, the operator should:
1. Read and understand the working capabilities and limitations of the forklift truck.
2. Read and understand the make-up of the forklift truck.
3. Read and understand the safe driving and load handling procedures contained in this manual.
And, most important, a qualified person experienced in forklift truck operation should guide new operators through several driving and load handling operations before they attempt to operate the forklift truck on their own. It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure the operator can see, hear and has the physical and mental ability to operate the forklift truck safely. This manual contains information necessary for the operation and “Do-ityourself” maintenance of standard forklift trucks.
- Optional equipment is sometimes installed; it can change some operating characteristics described in this manual. Before operating such a forklift truck, make sure the necessary instructions are available and understood.
- Forklift truck operator training is provided through your authorized Mitsubishi forklift truck dealer. They will be glad to help you and answer any questions you may have about operating your new forklift truck. Forklift trucks are NOT intended for use on public roads.
