Safety Information and Tip-Over Procedures

Chapter 1 is the safety core of this FBT9P-FBT20P operator’s manual. It reproduces every safety decal and name plate used on the 80 Series trucks, explains the direction conventions (front, rear, left, right from the operator’s compartment), and details the four-tier warning system (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, NOTE). The tip-over section is particularly detailed: it explains lateral and longitudinal tip-over causes, how to survive a tip-over (do not jump, hold the steering wheel, brace your feet, lean away from impact), and the conditions under which a lateral tip-over can occur even within rated capacity. Dozens of illustrated warnings cover off-center loads, sudden starts and stops, tail swing, grade travel, dock edges, and the prohibition on riders or walking under raised forks.

Part Names, Display Functions and Driving Equipment

Chapter 2 identifies every component on the truck – mast, lift cylinder, load backrest, forks, tilt cylinder, drive axle, overhead guard, steering wheel, seat, battery cover and rear axle among others – using a numbered isometric illustration. The indicator panel section explains each display icon: battery indicator, travel speed meter, hour meter, calendar and clock, slow speed mode (turtle mark), fork horizontal indicator, and all safety monitors for travel, hydraulic, power steering, brake fluid, battery electrolyte, parking brake, and the Operation Interlock System (OIS). The mode select button section covers the reserve charge screen, electricity consumption meter, travel mode (E/N/P), meter mode, display brightness, coast mode regeneration, pitching control and date/time setting. Driving equipment callouts point out the parking brake lever, turn signal/head lamp switch, steering wheel knob, horn, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, lift lever, tilt lever, emergency stop switch, directional switch and key switch.

Driving, Stacking and Picking Operations

Chapter 3 walks through the exact sequence for preparing to start – checking the directional switch, applying the parking brake, turning the key switch, tilting the mast back and raising forks 150-200mm – then covers traveling, turning, plugging brake, stopping and parking. The stacking and picking sections are step-by-step: approach the rack, confirm alignment, insert forks fully, lift, tilt back, and withdraw. The manual also explains what to do when loads are not aligned or when forks will not fully enter a pallet.

Battery, Charging and Charger Operation

Chapter 4 is the most technically detailed section. It covers the Nichiyu genuine battery and charger, safety around explosive gases and sulfuric acid, first aid procedures, electrolyte level checks using the float and white line indicator, specific gravity reading with temperature conversion, and the three types of charge (normal, balancing, supplementary). Both stationary charger and built-in charger procedures are documented, including the AUTO, EQUAL, RESERVE and STOP button functions, reserve charge timer setup, and the display screens shown during and after charging. Battery exchange procedures with torque values and weight ranges are also included.

Inspection, Periodic Servicing and Specifications

Chapters 5 through 9 take you through daily pre-operation inspection (18 checkpoints from safety monitor to laser pointer), post-operation inspection, periodic servicing at weekly (50-hour), monthly (200-hour), three-month (600-hour) and semiannual (1200-hour) intervals, and the lubrication chart with recommended oils. Quick fault finding gives practical checks for a truck that will not move or charge and lamps that do not turn on. Periodical replacement parts are listed with recommended intervals – brake hoses, high-pressure hoses, lift chains, mast support bushes, steering chains and the AC cable. Chapter 10 covers stability, load center and capacity, with the name plate table showing maximum lift height, load center and actual capacity for 3000mm and 500mm load center configurations. Chapter 11 gives full specifications for all models, and Chapter 12 covers the cold storage (CS) type with its low-temperature hydraulic oil and grease recommendations. Chapter 13 details the optional sideshift attachment, including its hydraulic lever, shift indicator, safe stacking and picking procedures, and its own inspection schedule.

Why This Manual Matters for Your FBT-Series Truck

The 80 Series covers nine distinct models with different capacities, from the 900kg FBT9P up to the 2000kg FBT20PN and FBT20PBN. The FBT16P, FBT18P and FBT20P are also available in B variants, and the CS type is built for cold storage down to -35 degrees C. Each model has its own capacity, weight, tyre and battery specification. Using the wrong load chart, battery weight or tyre pressure can compromise stability – and stability is not guaranteed for all operating conditions, only for the restricted conditions the manual describes. This operator’s manual gives you the actual values, procedures and warnings for your specific truck so that daily checks, battery charging and load handling are done the way Nichiyu intended.
