4.8 Traveling With a Load
Always look in the direction of travel. When transporting loads
over a long distance, always travel in a forward direction with the
forks trailing. Never enter a trailer unless its wheels are checked
and the trailer is properly jacked.
When traveling with a load, follow these instructions:
• Ensure the load on the forks is stable
• Travel at the safest speed that conditions allow, and always
within authorized facility speed limits. Operate the truck only
at a speed that permits the truck to stop safely at all times and
under all travel conditions.
• Start, steer, change direction, and brake smoothly. Slow down
for turns and uneven or slippery surfaces to avoid causing the
truck to slide or tip.
• Keep a clear view and watch out for obstructions. When the
load interferes with visibility, travel with the load trailing.
• Check the condition of all floors, dockboards, semi-trailer beds,
ramps, elevators, and so on, to ensure they can safely support
the truck and its load.
• Observe all traffic regulations. Yield the right-of-way to
pedestrians. Stop and sound the horn at crossing aisles and
whenever vision is obstructed.
• When operating in narrow aisles, stay as far away from
stockpiles as possible in order to allow the truck to swing clear.
• Never cross railroad tracks except at approved floor grade
crossings. Cross at an angle perpendicular to the tracks.
4.9 Positioning And Unloading
To position and unload the truck, follow these steps:
1. Slowly maneuver the truck with the load to the
required area.
2. Place the load squarely and evenly to make use of
all available space.
3. Lower the forks completely.
4. Drive the truck slowly away to withdraw the forks.
4.10 Moving The Stacker Without Power
If the stacker is inoperable or needs to be moved on/off
a pallet, remove bottom rear covers to expose forklift
pockets. Do not operate the vehicle until both covers
are reattached.

5. BATTERY CHARGING

5.1 Battery Indicator
The lighted bar shows how much charge is left in the
battery. Check battery indicator regularly.
Sufficient Insufficient. Battery
charging is required
but not urgent.
5.2 Battery Procedures
The truck is mounted with two maintenance-free 12V
batteries. The battery charger is mounted inside the
battery box which is located above the controls. For
your safety, observe the following precautions when
working with or around truck batteries:
Powered Drive Straddle Trucks
Almost depleted.
Battery charging
is urgent.
• Read, understand
recommendations, and specifications in the
battery and battery charger manufacturers'
manuals.
• Do not smoke, use open flames, or use spark-
producing devices near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area to avoid
hydrogen gas concentration.
• Do not break live circuits at the battery terminals,
because a spark usually occurs at the point where
a live circuit is broken.
• To avoid shorts and sparks, keep plugs, terminals,
cables, and receptacles in good condition.
5.3 Battery Removal And Installation
Take precautions not to jam or cut the battery cables
during installation of the battery, as this could result in a
short that may cause a fire or a battery explosion.
• Disconnect the battery connectors/cables from
the truck.
• Ensure the removed battery is properly stored.
• When installing a battery, always ensure that it is
fully charged before operating the truck
5.4 Charging Process
1. Press down the emergency switch on the keypad and
turn the key switch to OFF .
2. Open the battery box cap board and find the input
power cord of the charger.
3. Connect the power plug of the charger into
the outlet of the local power supply. This will
automatically turn the charger on, and it will run at
a rate commensurate with the requirements of the
batteries. The charger will automatically control the
procedure. When the batteries are fully charged,
the charger will only supply enough current to
maintain the batteries' charge.
