What Safety Requires

Industrial Equipment Can be Hazardous

Powered industrial equipment can be

hazardous. This lift truck is not like an
automobile. It weighs as much as several
automobiles. It does not drive, steer, or stop
like an automobile.

Lift truck accidents often result from:

• Careless operators
• Untrained and unauthorized use
• Poor maintenance

Your lift truck is part of a material handling

system that has three parts:

• The operator
• The lift truck
• The workplace environment

2 Publication 1068305A
 Safety
Safe operation of your lift truck requires:

• Your knowledge, training, skill, and

attitude
• Good lift truck maintenance
• A safe workplace with an appropriately
configured lift truck
Certain optional features enhance the
operation of your lift truck in special
conditions.

See “Options” in the Owner Manual for more

information.

TRAINING7241_101.EPS
Keep a safe distance from edges of
ramps/slopes.

Publication 1068305A 9
Safety
Dockboards
Make sure any movable dockboard is wide
enough and strong enough to carry the
load. The load capacity must be marked
plainly. Before you drive on a dockboard,
make sure it is fastened securely to prevent
slipping. The sides of the dockboards
should be high enough to prevent the lift
truck from running over the edge.

Make sure the dockboard has enough

contact with the dock and carrier to prevent
rocking or sliding.

Drive the lift truck slowly and smoothly. Do

not jar the dockboard out of position.

Highway Trucks, Trailers, and

Railroad Cars

Securely set the brakes and block the wheels of highway trucks,
trailers, and railroad cars before you load or unload them. Check
the highway truck, trailer, and railroad car doorway clearance.
Make sure floors of highway trucks, trailers, and railroad cars
will support the weight of the loaded lift truck. Cross railroad
tracks only at approved floor grade crossings. Do not park lift
trucks within 8 ft. (2.4 m) of railroad tracks.

Ask local railroad authorities which warning

devices to use.

Elevators
Check with your supervisor before you use
this lift truck in or near an elevator.

10 Publication 1068305A
 Safety
Handling Loads Safely
Always fasten your seat belt and make sure
it is in good condition.

Do not overload this lift truck. See the

specification plate for capacity.

Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked

loads. If your load shifts, your lift truck
could tip over.

Use extra care when handling long, high, or

wide loads.

Watch out for objects sticking out from

racks, shelves, and walls.

Watch for obstructions, especially overhead.

Lift loads only during stacking operations

with the lift truck at a standstill and in a
level position.

Do not use damaged pallets.

When using forks, spread as far apart as

load will permit. Before lifting, be sure load
is centered and forks are pushed completely
under the load.

Do not tilt the mast forward when the forks

are elevated except to pick up or deposit a
load.

Avoid quick starts, stops, or turns that

could shift the load or tip the lift truck.

Avoid turns while the forks are elevated with

a load.

Travel, lift, and lower with the load

centered.

Do not push loads around on the floor.

Travel with the load elevated approximately

4 to 6 in. (100 to 150 mm) off the floor.

Travel with the mast or forks tilted

backward.

Publication 1068305A 11
Safety
When the load is in the raised position, do
not tilt the mast forward.

Stability
Your lift truck is designed to be steady and
stable. Stability is affected by:

• Lift truck weight and weight distribution

• Load weight and height
• Load position
• Mast deflection

The lift truck’s specification plate lists

maximum loads permitted at various
heights.

Lift trucks can tip or overturn. This can be

caused by:

• Driving, braking, or turning too fast

• Careless load handling by operator
• Too much load weight and height
• Poor floor conditions

TRAINING7241_101.EPS

12 Publication 1068305A
 Safety
Battery Safety

• Explosive hydrogen gas forms when a battery is charging. An

open flame or spark can cause this gas to explode. Serious
personal injury or property damage could occur. This can
happen even hours after charging. Ventilate the area to
eliminate this hazard.
• The battery contains sulfuric acid, which causes burns to skin
and clothing. If battery acid contacts your clothing or skin, flush
the area immediately with cold water. If battery acid gets on
your face or in your eyes, flush the area with cold water
immediately and get medical attention.

Follow these precautions when working with

or around lift truck batteries:

• Read, understand, and obey

instructions in the battery and battery
charger manufacturers’ manuals.
• Wear personal protective equipment for
eyes, face, and skin. This equipment
includes goggles or face shield, rubber
gloves (with or without arm shields), and
a rubber apron. Make sure a shower
and eye wash station are nearby.
• Do not smoke, use open flames, or use
devices that produce sparks near
charging batteries.
• The battery must not move more than
0.5 in. (13 mm) side-to-side or
front-to-back within the truck battery
compartment.

 Your Lift Truck
Capacity and Rating

This lift truck is rated for performance by

load center, load weight, and load height
(with forks elevated). The rating is with the
mast vertical.

Center of gravity is defined as the point of

an object where its weight is evenly
distributed. If the object is uniform, its
geometric center will be the same as its
center of gravity. If it is not uniform, the
center of gravity could be a point on either
side of the normal geometric center. When
the lift truck picks up a load, the truck and
load have a new, combined center of gravity.

Load weight includes the weight of the load,

container, and pallet. Maximum allowed
load weight may decrease as elevated height
increases.

Consult the specification plate mast tag on

your lift truck. The tag is located on the
DIREXREF 7400 top red.eps
lower left side of the mast cross bar.

To Travel
Stop the lift truck and sound the horn when
you approach crossing aisles and when you
exit an aisle.

Always look where you are going.

To travel, do the following:

1. There are three selectable vehicle

performance parameters, labeled L, P,
and H, which are configured for travel
and lift speed, and hydraulic flow for
attachments. These are set at the
factory such that H will be maximum
speed, L will be slower, and P will be an
intermediate speed. These can be
changed at your supervisor’s request by
consulting your local authorized
Raymond dealer. Check with your
supervisor regarding parameter
designations and usage.

Additionally, there is a performance

reduction (turtle) mode that will reduce
the performances in the L, P, and H
settings.
