It is important to conduct periodic inspections without fail to secure the safety of your
forklift truck during use and to provide economically feasible operation.

Pre-operation inspection ................This daily inspection must be conducted


before starting work with the forklift truck.

Post-operation inspection...............This inspection is carried out when the daily


operation and work have been completed.

Periodic self-inspection ..................This self-inspection must be conducted periodically within a period not exceeding one
month (monthly inspection).

Specific self-inspection ...................This self-inspection must be conducted periodically within a period not exceeding one
year (annual inspection).

For our customers, the company provides the above inspection service (excluding
daily inspection) at the designated service shops. It is recommended to use our periodic inspection service system for the safe and long-term use of your forklift truck.

Chassis Number and Serial Number Locations


The chassis number of the vehicle is stamped at the location shown in the figure
below. The model number, chassis number and serial number are stamped on the

Introduction

Handling of New Vehicle


Vehicles are thoroughly inspected, adjusted, and tested before delivery, but a certain
amount of time will be necessary to break the vehicle in completely. Careful breakingin of the new vehicle will lead to a long-term fault-free operation. For the first two
weeks of use, take special care not to apply excessive loads, and pay attention to the
following points.

Avoid high-speed operation, and keep the load to 70 to 80%


of the rated load.
Check the loosening of bolts, nuts and hydraulic joints during the break-in period. If any looseness is found, stop the
vehicle and retighten the loose part.
Take time to train in the usage of each device on the vehicle
before starting full operation. Even after getting used to the
handling, be careful during the actual operation to prevent
personal accidents or physical accidents.
Even if the vehicle has the same specifications, each vehicle
will have its own characteristics in terms of brakes, accelerators, and load handling devices. Always feel the vehicle out
before starting use. Take special care to get a feel of the
brakes.

-2-

For Safety Operation

It is important for the forklift operator and supervisor to observe various rules to prevent work-related disasters during transfer work. Please observe the following items
and carry out the operation and work safely.

Before Starting Work

Only operators who have completed the forklift truck operation


skill training may operate this truck

Wear designated work clothes and


protective devices.
Wear work clothes that have well closed
cuffs and collars.
Always wear safety shoes and a protective helmet.

Take sufficient time to discuss the


work before starting.
Discuss the work with the work leader
before starting work, and always follow
the work plan.

Inspect the forklift truck before


starting work.
If any abnormality is found, contact the
supervisor immediately. Do not operate
the truck until the defect has been corrected.

Do not modify or repair the forklift


truck on the site.
Contact the company-designated service center when the vehicle must be
modified or repaired.
-3-

For Safety Operation

If overhead guards, back rests or any other defects are found


in the safety devices, repair them immediately before starting
operation.
Do not remove the overhead guard.
Do not use vehicles that are not provided with the company-designated overhead guard and/or back rest.

Do not use the vehicle for purposes other than those specified.
Do not open or close the doors of railway cars or warehouses.
Do not push other vehicles.
Do not attach a wire rope onto the fork to suspend items.
Do not tow anything using the coupler pin.

On The Vehicle

Always fasten seat belt while operating the vehicle

If the vehicle is about to tip sideways, stay in the vehicle, grasp the
steering wheel tightly with both
hands, and plant your feet firmly to
hold your body securely.

-4-

For Safety Operation

During Travel

Always operate the vehicle within


the specified speed limit.
Set a safety speed limit for both when
the vehicle is loaded and unloaded considering the working environment.
Observe the work site rules and operate
the vehicle safely.

A forklift truck is built for only one


person - the operator. It is dangerous for anyone to ride on the forks,
counterweight or any other place.

Assign a guide at narrow places for


safe operation.
When assigning a guide, make sure to
predetermine signals to be used.
The operator must follow the signals
given by the guide.

If the view is obstructed, always


stop once and confirm the safety
on the left and right before proceeding.

-5-

For Safety Operation

When traveling on a slope while


carrying a load, drive forward when
going up and backward when going
down the slope. Never travel
across a slope or change directions on a slope as the vehicle
could tip over.

A forklift truck is steered by the


rear wheels, so when making a
turn, bring its inner side as close to
the inside corner as possible. This
is opposite of normal passenger
cars.

When driving the forklift truck at


night, the distance of objects and
road levels can be easily mistaken.
Always turn on both front and rear
lights or other means of lighting.
Take caution to persons and obstacles in the surrounding area.

Be careful of the height of the


upper part of the forklift truck when
entering or exiting a warehouse or
other buildings, so that the truck
will not catch.

The forklift truck is more likely to


tip over when it has no load, so
take care when driving.

-6-

For Safety Operation

Take special care when carrying a


long or wide load.
Lift or lower the load slowly while confirming the surrounding safety.
Be careful of the balance of the load.
Always work with the load at a low position.
Confirm the surrounding safety when
turning, and operate the forklift truck
slowly to prevent the load from shifting.

Do not drive over wood pieces or


other objects scattered on the
ground. Doing so may cause the
load to shift or the operator to lose
control.

Traveling on the very edge of the


road may cause the vehicle to tip
over. Always keep a safe distance
from the edge.

Take care of the road condition


while traveling.
Confirm the strength of the floor.
Travel on slippery surfaces can
cause the vehicle to slip. If this is
unavoidable, slow down.
Avoid traveling on weak or nonprepared ground.

-7-

For Safety Operation

During Work

Do not travel with an excessive


load that causes the rear tires to
float.
Follow the load table and carry out the
work.

Do not use the tip of the forks as a


lever to raise a heavy load. Do not
push a load with the tip of the forks
and do not use the tilt cylinder to
pull a load.

Use pallets and skids suitable for


the load.
Use pallets and skids that can withstand
the weight of the load.
Do not use damaged, deformed or
decayed pallets and skids.

Stack the load on the pallet or skids


safely and properly.
To prevent eccentric loads, take care of
the center of gravity of the load.
If the load might become unstable, bind
the load with a rope (binder) or use other
preventive measures. The worker in
charge of loading must not get on the
fork or hold the load during travel.
Do not carry unstable loads.

-8-

For Safety Operation

Do not travel or turn with the forks


higher than 30cm from the ground
or in a vertical position or tilted forward.

Do not advance suddenly, apply the


brakes suddenly or make a sharp
turn. If the brakes are applied suddenly while traveling forward, the
load may fall off or the vehicle may
tip over.
The stopping distance will increase while
traveling down a slope or on a wet surface. Always provide an allowance when
braking.

Do not place hands or feet on the


cross members of the mast. Your
hand may be severed if the mast is
lowered while your hand is on it.

Before loading onto or unloading


from a truck, always confirm that
the trucks parking brakes are
applied and that the wheels are
chocked.

-9-

For Safety Operation

Before moving backward, tilt the


forks back completely and confirm
that the load is safe. Drive carefully
when backing.
When moving backward, do not depend
on the rear-view mirror. Move backward
while looking with your neck turned.

If the range of vision is poor due to


a large load, follow the instructions
given by the guide.

Do not suddenly tilt when the


forks are completely raised.
Never leave the forklift truck with
a load lifted.

Never enter under the load or forks.

- 10 -

For Safety Operation

Keep the elbows and feet within


the vehicle body during operation. Otherwise, they may be
caught by an obstacle.
Stay under the overhead guard
during operation.
Always operate the forklift truck
at the operators seat.

Parking

When leaving the forklift truck,


always carry out the following:
Park the truck in a safe area
where other work will not be
obstructed.
Lower the forks until the tips
touch the ground.
Apply the parking brakes
securely.
Set the shift lever to neutral.
Turn the key switch OFF and
remove the key.
When parking on a slope is
unavoidable, always chock the
wheels.

How to Drive

Before Driving
Before getting into the operators seat, carry
out the pre-operation checking described in
Section 12. Never fail to carry out this checking for your safety even when in a hurry.
1. Make sure that the battery charging
cord power plug is disconnected from
the charger and that the vehicle is in
operable state. Securely lock the cover
lock at the front of the battery cover.
2. Get into the operator's seat and turn
the key switch ON. Is the battery
charged fully? Check the battery
capacity gauge.

Always operate the key switch from the operators seat.

Starting and Traveling


1. Always fasten the seat belt.
2. Check the surrounding safety before
starting.
3. Lift the forks approx. 15 to 20cm from
the ground, and fully tilt the mast
backward.
4. (If equipped with standard accelerator
pedal) While depressing the brake
pedal, put the shift lever to the forward
or backward position.
5. Release the parking brake and release
the brake pedal. Then slowly push the
right side of MONOTROL pedal for
Reverse and the left side of
MONOTROL pedal for Forward
motion. The vehicle will start to move
smoothly.
6. Traveling speed can be changed by
adjusting the pressure onto the accelerator pedal.

- 35 -

How to Drive

The rear-wheel power steering is adopted, so the vehicle can


be easily steered by turning the steering wheel. Take care
not to turn the steering wheel suddenly during travel.
Do not turn the key switch OFF during travel. If the key
switch is turned OFF during travel, the steering wheel will
become heavy.

Securely put the shift lever into the forward or reverse position.
Pay attention to the following points during travel for safe operation.

Remain focused during operation. Always pay attention to


pedestrians, workers and obstacles in the area.
Lower the speed and confirm the surrounding safety when
traveling in places where the field of vision is poor. Do not
pass other vehicles.
When traveling down a slope, decelerate the vehicle speed
sufficiently while applying the brake. And when carrying a
load, travel in the backward direction. When there is no load,
travel in the forward direction.
When going up a sharp slope, take care so that the end of
the fork or the base of the pallet will not contact the ground.
And when carrying a load, go forward. When there is no
load, go backward.

Plug Braking
If the opposite direction on the MONOTROL pedal is pressed during travel, electric
motor braking will be activated. The vehicle will stop once and then will start smoothly
in the opposite direction.

Do not apply excessive pressure on the MONOTROL pedal.


This may cause sudden braking. Be careful that plug braking
does not work if there is no pressure on the MONOTROL
pedal. Adjusting the braking settings can affect electric
motor braking performance.

- 36 -

How to Drive

Temporary Stop and Parking


1. When stopping the forklift truck, release your foot from the accelerator pedal and
press the brake pedal to slow down.
2. When parking, lower the fork to the ground or floor surface, tilt the mast forward,
put on the parking brake, and then put the shift lever into neutral.
3. When leaving the truck, turn the key switch OFF and remove the key without
fail.

Always park at a designated place.


Do not park on a slope. If parking on a slope is unavoidable,
securely chock the tires.
Park the vehicle in a safe place where traffic will not be
obstructed. Install a cautionary sign, signal light or fences
as required near the parking place.
Select sufficiently hard surface for parking, and make sure
that the tires will not slip or sink into the ground.
Always lower the forks to the ground. If the forks cannot be
lowered because of a fault or other reasons, wrap the fork
ends with cloth or the like, and park in a place with the forks
facing a direction where persons and vehicles will not pass.
Get off the vehicle after it has completely stopped while facing its direction.
Never jump off the vehicle because it is dangerous.

After Operation
After operating the vehicle, always carry out the post-operation checking (see
Section 13). Do not forget to charge the battery.

Vehicle Structure and Stability

To safely operate the forklift truck, it is essential to understand the structure and stability of the vehicle.

Load and Vehicle Stability


The forklift truck stability is like that of a seesaw, where stacked load and rear tire load
are balanced while the front tire works like
the fulcrum of a seesaw. If the load center of
the stack is far from the front tires, the stackable load weight will decrease. Thus, always
take care of the load center to keep the balance. If a load exceeding the balance is
stacked, safe work will be obstructed.

Center of Gravity Position and


Stability
The stability of the forklift truck is determined by the composite center of gravity
position of the vehicles and the loads center of gravity. When there is no load, only the
vehicles center of gravity is used, and when
a load is stacked, the composite center of
gravity of the vehicle and load will be used.
Since the load center of gravity varies
according to the mast tilting (forward or
backward) and the mast up/down position,
the composite center of gravity will also
change.

- 38 -

Vehicle Structure and Stability

Range of Center of Gravity Stability


For vehicle stability, the composite center of
gravity position must be within the stability
range created by left and right front tire
grounding points and rear wheel suspension
pin point (triangular zone). If the composite
center of gravity position is ahead the front
tires, the vehicle is tilted forward with the
front tires as a fulcrum. If the composite center of gravity position moves outside the stability range of center of gravity, the vehicle will tilt in the direction of the movement.

Reference Load Center and Capacity Chart


Load Capacity Table is affixed at the operators seat. Observe the allowable load for
safe operation.
The Load Capacity Table shown here is an
example.
Allowable load: Stackable load limit
Load center: The distance from the vertical front surface of the fork to the center of
gravity of the load on the fork.
Maximum fork height

If a load exceeding the load capacity specified in the Load


Capacity Table is stacked, the rear tires may float during
travel and the steering may not function creating a very dangerous state. The risk of tipping over will also increase.
Always observe the allowable load limit when stacking.

- 39 -

Load Handling

Picking up Load from The Ground


When picking up loads from the ground or
floor, observe the following procedure:
1. Decelerate the vehicle to a safe speed
when approaching the load to be carried.
2. Stop the vehicle once in front of the
load.
3. Tilt the mast forward to the vertical
position, and direct the forklift truck straight toward the load. Confirm the fork
insertion position, slowly advance, and insert the forks into the pallet completely.

Always keep the forks parallel to the pallet and insert them
completely while taking care not to brush against the pallet.
Do not lift the forks with the forks tilted forward.
Do not insert the forks roughly into the pallet.
4. Lift the load 5 to 10cm and make sure
that the load is stable.

Keep the load height up to the back


rest height. Do not carry loads if
they are raised higher than the
back rest.

5. Hold the load in contact with the back


rest, lift the forks 15 to 20cm above the
ground, and tilt the mast backward to
the maximum.

- 40 -

Load Handling

Do not place a weight on the rear of


the vehicle, which will exceed the
allowable limit. (See the Load
Capacity Table.)

Never travel, turn or tilt the forks forward with load lifted,
because the load becomes unstable and the vehicle may tip
over.
If the load blocks the front view, travel backward.

Destacking from High Place


When destacking loads from a high place,
observe the following procedure:
1. Decelerate the vehicle to a safe speed
when approaching the load to be
destacked.
2. Stop the vehicle once in front of the
load.
3. Tilt the mast forward to the vertical position,
and direct the forklift truck straight toward
the load. Confirm the fork insertion position, slowly advance, and insert the forks
into the pallet completely.

Always keep the forks parallel to


the pallet and insert them completely while taking care not to
brush against the pallet.
4. Lift the load 5 to 10cm, retract 10 to 20cm,
and then lower the load once.
5. Insert the forks fully again, lift the load 5 to
10cm, slowly back away, and then lower
the load to a safe height.

- 41 -

Load Handling

If the forks are slanted forward


while the load is lifted, tilt the mast
backward to maintain load stability.
6. Lower the forks to 15 to 20cm from the
ground, fully tilt the mast backward, and
travel to the destination.

Unloading
1. Decelerate the vehicle speed to a safe level
when the vehicle comes near the destination.
2. Stop the vehicle once in front of the unloading
place.

When stacking onto a shelf, carefully operate so as not to hit the


shelf.
3. Set the mast to the vertical position and
lift the load to a position slightly higher
than the unloading level.
4. Confirm the stacking position, and
slowly lower the forks.
5. Gently pull out the forks so as not to
drag the load.

How to Use the Battery

How to Use The Battery


1. Do not overdischarge the battery.
If the battery power is used until the vehicle no longer
moves, the life of battery will be shortened. Charge the
battery immediately when the bottom bar of the battery
discharge indicator lights.

2. Do not run out of electrolyte.


When the battery is charged, only the water content of the
electrolyte (dilute sulfuric acid) is consumed. Before
charging, always replenish water to the adequate electrolyte level (electrolyte level check).
In addition, about the VCH type battery, please replenish
water after charging.
VCH type battery (Only 72V battery for premium models)

Model
1-2.5 ton

Battery capacity

Electrolyte level drop due to missing water supply may


result in short life, overheating and burning of the battery.
If the electrolyte overflows, be sure to wipe it off thoroughly.
Otherwise, overheating or explosion due to short-circuiting
may occur.
Before cleaning the battery, disconnect the power plug without fail.

Always use distilled water or purified water for replenishment.


3. Keep the battery clean.
The top surface and connectors of the battery should be
clean and dry. Tighten the fluid plugs securely.

Before starting inspection, disconnect the power plug without fail.


Wear insulating protectors such as rubber gloves during
inspection for protection from electric shock.
Never sprinkle water on the battery plug.
- 45 -

11

How to Use the Battery

Do not clean the battery with dry cloth or fabricated fiber


cloth or by dusting it. Doing so may cause static electricity
and may lead to an explosion. Always use moist cloth.
4. Keep the battery away from fire.
Never let fire come close to the battery any time
because explosive gas is generated from the battery.
5. Do not overcharge the battery.
Always charge the battery following the charger handling
procedure.
6. Handling during winter time
The freezing temperature of the electrolyte is approx. 35C when the battery is fully charged. The specific
gravity of the electrolyte when fully charged is 1.280 (at
20C). Since the electrolyte is easier to freeze when its
specific gravity drops after discharging. Therefore, keep a good charge condition.
Especially, when it is very cold, remove the battery plugs and cover the battery or
take other warming measures to prevent discharging.
7. Handling during summer time
Since water content of the electrolyte is likely to evaporate during summer time,
check the electrolyte level frequently and replenish distilled water as specified.
Note that overfilling will lead to overflow of the electrolyte during operation, which
may cause corrosion or electrical leak.

Bulk Water Replenisher


(Optional; GS Yuasa Corporation Product)
1. Structure
a. As shown in an example below,
this device has a structure that
connects the fluid plug of each
cell using a tube and replenishes distilled water from the
water supply port to each cell for
each group.

b. As shown in the figure on the


right, each fluid plug is equipped
with a valve interocked with the
float. When water is replenished
to the electrolyte level limit, the
water supply port is closed to
stop water replenishment.
c. As shown in the figure, each
fluid plug is equipped with a visible fluid level indication bar.
d. Gas and acid fog generated in
the battery is individually
exhausted from each fluid plug.
The generated gas and acid fog
do not enter the tube.
e. Each fluid plug is also equipped with a measuring port for measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte and battery temperature.
2. Handling
a. Electrolyte level check cycle.
Water content in the electrolyte decreases due to water decomposition during
charging and natural evaporation. If the battery is used with the electrolyte
extremely decreased, electrode plate degradation will occur and the battery
life is shortened substantially. Furthermore, this may cause explosion or burning of the battery, so check the electrolyte level once a week without fail.
b. Check method.
The electrolyte level can be checked by horizontally viewing the top of the
level indicator bar (red) in the fluid plug. When the level is very low and the top
of the bar is invisible or in a similar state, replenish distilled water following the
method below.
If even one cell shows the lowest level when checking, replenish water.

- 47 -

11

How to Use the Battery

c. Water replenishing method


Fill the water supply tank with
distilled water. When small
volume of distilled water is in
the tank, the water pressure
drops. Be careful so that the
liquid level in the tank will not
be lower than 10cm during
replenishing.
As shown in the figure, adjust
the water supply tank position
so that the bottom of the
water supply tank comes 50
to 100cm above the top of the
cell lid. If the water supply tank position is outside the range, the water stop
ability of the fluid plug will drop and the electrolyte will overflow.
Shake the hose gently to bleed air. Open the cock, make sure that distilled
water gushes, and then close the valve.
Remove the brown cap attached to the fluid plug of the cell. Then, insert the
water supply connector of the water supply tank into the fluid plug.
Open the cock of the water supply connector and start water supply. Be
sure to open the cock to the maximum.
During water replenishing, do not touch the level indicator bar.

- 48 -

How to Use the Battery

11

When water is replenished,


the red level indicator bar of
each fluid plug rises. Keep
watching while water is
replenished. When the level
indicator bars of all cells rise
as shown in the figure, water
supply is completed. (It takes
about 1 to 2 minutes from the
start of water replenishing.)
Immediately close the cock of
the water supply tank to stop water replenishing. If the battery is left for a
long time, over-replenishing (overflow) may occur.
Pull the movable ring on the water supply connector of the water supply
tank to disconnect the fluid plug of the cell from the water supply connector.
Attach the brown cap on the water supply port as before.
Check rising of the level indicator bars of all cells. Confirm that water was
normally replenished into all cells. If there is no problem, the water replenishment is completed.
3. Other handling.
a. Measurement of the specific
gravity of the electrolyte and battery temperature.
When you open the lid of the
fluid plug, you can see a measuring opening as shown in
the figure. The specific gravity
and battery temperature can
be measured by using the
general suction gravimeter
and bar thermometer.
When measurement is completed, securely close the lid
of the fluid plug.
b. Precautions when using battery
in low-temperature ambiance.
Since a water sealing chamber is provided in the fluid plug, water in the chamber may be frozen if the battery is used in a low-temperature ambiance below
0C. If the water in the chamber is frozen, bulk replenishing is impossible.
Therefore, move the battery into a high-temperature ambiance (15 - 40C).
After melting, carry out water replenishment.
c. Other precautions
Do not remove any fluid plug from the cell. In case a fluid plug has to be
removed from the cell, detach the water supply tube from the fluid plug, turn
the adapter, and remove the fluid plug together with the adapter.
Do not get on the water supply equipment.
- 49 -

Periodic Inspection and Servicing


Complete periodic inspection prevents malfunctions and lengthens the life of your forklift truck.
The periods given in this section apply for standard use, and differ according to usage
conditions. Service your forklift truck according to the usage conditions.
Precautions for inspection and servicing

Always use the genuine parts for the replacement parts.


Always use the genuine oil and grease.
Park the forklift truck at a rigid and flat place.
When conducting inspection indoor, make the place well
ventilated.
When working with other person(s), confirm each step with
signals.
Always use proper tools. Never use makeshift tools.
Wear protective gear (helmet, safety boots, goggles, gloves,
etc.).
Lower the fork to the ground before starting inspection.
Confirm that all operation levers are in neutral.
When inspecting under lifted forks is required, place and
fasten a wood block or the like between forks, mast inner
frame and ground or floor so that the forks or mast inner
frame will not drop.
Do not place your foot under the fork.
If even a slight abnormality is found through the inspection,
report it to the supervisor, and never operate the vehicle
until the defect is completely rectified.
Improper disposal (in drainage or ground, burning, etc.) of
waste oil generated through the inspection may pollute the
surrounding (water, soil or atmosphere). This may be
banned by law.

Weekly Inspection (Every 50 Hours)


Conduct the following weekly inspection every 50 hours in addition to the daily inspection.
1. Lubrication
a. Clean the grease nipples and their peripheries with clean cloth, and apply
grease to the following points using a grease gun. Usable grease: Albania
EP2

- 61 -

Periodic Inspection

Apply grease until it overflows and then wipe off the excess.
b. Apply grease to the following
points using a brush or the like.
Lift chains
Fork slide section
Mast roller sliding surface.

- 62 -

Periodic Inspection

14

Wipe off old grease with clean


cloth or the like.
If oil or grease gets on the operator's seat, hand rails or steps,
wipe it off immediately. Failure to
do so may cause the operator to
slip and fall.
c. Lubricate the following locations with machine oil using an oiler.

After lubrication, wipe off any oil


that leaks out.
Always use clean oil and grease
as well as containers to prevent
dusts from entering.

2. Battery
Daily handling and management of battery greatly affect its performance and life.
Therefore, always conduct inspection and maintenance completely to keep the
battery in the best condition.

Do not place a wrench or other metals on top of the battery.

- 63 -

14

Periodic Inspection

Always wear protective goggles, rubber gloves and rubbersoled shoes during maintenance and inspection. Directly
touching conductive parts may cause electric shock.
Remove static electricity from your body before inspection.
Disconnect the battery plug before checking the battery
electrolyte level.
Replenish distilled water before charging.
If too much electrolyte is put in the battery, it will overflow
during charging and lead to corrosion.
a. Check whether the electrolyte is insufficient referring to the figure below.
Open the cap. When the white line of the red float drops, replenish water.
Replenish water until you see the white line.

- 64 -

Periodic Inspection

14

For the daily inspection, randomly select several cells to


understand the conditions of all cells. Change the inspection
batteries at least once a month. Always record and save the
inspection results.

If the electrolyte continues to overflow during charging


although its level was within the specified range before
charging, the battery discharges too fast, the electrolyte temperature increases abnormally, or the electrolyte decrease is
remarkable (in certain cells), contact a designated service
shop.
b. Check terminals for looseness.
c. Check cells, terminals and cables for
rusts, corrosion or cracks.
d. Check whether the battery is dirty or
not. If dirty, current leakage will
occur. So, wash the battery with
water and then dry by air blow or
using clean moist cloth.

Measure the specific gravity and temperature of each cell using a hydrometer and thermometer. Convert the
specific gravity to find the specific gravity at 20C.
When electrolyte temperature exceeds
20C: The specific gravity when electrolyte temperature is 20C = Measured
specific gravity + @. For example, when
the measured specific gravity is 1.260
(electrolyte temperature is 30C), the
specific gravity when electrolyte temperature is 20C will be 1.267(1.260 +
0.007), because @ is 0.007 according to the table below.

e. Check that the specific gravity is 1.2800.01 when fully charged at 20C. If the
charging is insufficient after the first charging, carry out supplementary charging. Specific gravity at the end of charging: 1.280 (20C) Specific gravity when
completely discharged: Approx. 1.150 (20C)
f. Check for unevenness in the specific gravity among cells. If the unevenness
still remains or some cells have low specific gravity even after uniform charging, specific gravity adjustment or other necessary treatment is required. Contact a designated service shop.
Precautions for handling battery electrolyte
Pay sufficient attention when handling the battery electrolyte, because dilute sulfuric
acid is used. If an accident occurs, immediately take the following first-aid measures,
and have a medical specialist diagnose the problem. Failure to do so may cause burns
or blindness.

If the electrolyte contacts your skin, immediately wash it off


with plenty of water (tap water, etc.) and then wash well with
soap.
If the electrolyte splashes into your eyes, immediately rinse
affected eye with plenty of clean water for about 15 minutes.
If the electrolyte is taken orally, immediately gargle with
plenty of clean water repeatedly. Then drink a large amount
of milk or clean water and rest.
If the electrolyte contacts your work clothes, take off the
clothes immediately. Wash them with water and then completely neutralize using low-alkaline soap solution.
If a large amount of electrolyte splashes around or flows out,
immediately neutralize with an acid neutralizer (sodium
bicarbonate, calcium hydroxide or carbonated soda, etc.)
and then wash off with water.

Cautions for tire disassembly and reassembly


Ask a specialist for disassembling/reassembling a tire, tube,
rim, etc. and also for air pumping. Since the tire air pressure
for the forklift truck is set to high, it is dangerous to adjust
the tire air pressure. A certificate of special training is
required for air pumping work.
Start pumping air into tires off the truck after checking tire,
rim, bolts and nuts. Put the tire in a safe fence when pumping air. Never raise the air pressure over the standard value.

Wear protective goggles when pumping air to protect your


eyes from dusts when they are blown off by compressed air.

Freezer/Refrigerator Specified Vehicles


The freezer/refrigerator-specified vehicle is a counterbalance-type battery operated
forklift truck that is designed and manufactured for load handling work under sever
conditions in a refrigerator. There are two types; one is for working with a temperature
down to 35C, and the other down to 45C.
1. 35C type
This type is designed for work inside and outside of 35C-class refrigerator and
for 3-hour continuous work in a refrigerator at 25C.
When working with a 35C-class refrigerator, the indoor and outdoor work time
ratio is should be nearly fifty-fifty and continuous indoor work must be within 1
hour. As for a 25C class refrigerator, continuous indoor work must be within 3
hours then work outdoor or take a break for about 30 minutes.
2. 45C type
This type is designed for work inside and outside of 45C-class refrigerator and
for 3-hour continuous work in a refrigerator at 35C.
When working with a 45C-class refrigerator, the indoor and outdoor work time
ratio is should be nearly fifty-fifty and continuous indoor work must be within 1
hour. As for a 35C class refrigerator, continuous indoor work must be within 3
hours then work outdoor or take a break for about 30 minutes.

Do not leave the forklift truck inside the refrigerator (both


35C and 45C types).
Any other types of forklift truck shall not enter a refrigerator.
Always charge the battery of the vehicle outside the refrigerator.
Rustproof and low-temperature measures are provided for electrical parts and
some other parts of this type of forklift trucks. Take special care of the daily lubrication, maintenance and inspection.
3. Rustproof measures
When the vehicle enters and exits a refrigerator, water will condense on the vehicle due to the sharp change in temperature. This will cause rust to form easily.
Therefore, special rustproof paint has been applied on the vehicle mast and parts
where rust will form easily. When repairing the vehicle body or mast because of
damage, pay special attention to painting agent to be used.
Furthermore, stainless steel bolts and nuts are used at portions where rust will
form easily. The other bolts, nuts, springs, etc. are plated, so take care when
replacing them.
