Precautions for Safe Operation of Electric Forklifts

Precautions for Safe Operation of Electric Forklifts

(1) Forklifts are special equipment, and only drivers who have passed the training and assessment and hold a driving license can drive them; The maintenance of forklifts should also be carried out by trained and qualified personnel to ensure their normal use;

(2) Operators should wear shoes, hats, clothing, and gloves that can be used for safety protection during operation

(3) When the center of gravity of the goods is 500mm away from the fork arm, the maximum load is the rated lifting capacity, and the load during handling should not exceed

Defined value. If the distance between the center of gravity of the goods and the fork arm is greater than 500mm, the lifting capacity should decrease according to the value specified in the load curve chart, and overloading is strictly prohibited;

(4) Forklifts are only suitable for operating on flat and hard roads. Oil and grease on the road surface must be wiped off:

(5) Before and after using a forklift, daily inspections must be carried out, and operations with malfunctions are prohibited; If any abnormal situation is found during the operation of the forklift, it must be stopped immediately for inspection. After the fault is eliminated, it can continue to work;

(6) When operating one handle, be careful not to move the other handle, and do not operate the handle from a position outside the driver's seat;

(7) Prohibit loading goods that are not fixed or loosely stacked, be careful when handling larger sized goods;

(8) Forklifts equipped with special accessories ordered by users can have a wider range of applications. But forklifts with attachments will reduce the effective load and stability of the forklift. Do not use the assigned tools and specialized devices for other purposes. Please read the additional instructions we have provided for you and strictly follow the requirements for use. Users are not allowed to make unauthorized modifications.

(9) When loading goods, the distance between the forks should be adjusted according to the size of the goods, and the weight of the goods should be evenly divided between the two forks

Share the burden to avoid overloading or cargo slipping to one side while driving. Prohibit using a single fork to pick goods;

(10) When handling large volume goods, if the goods block the driver's line of sight, the forklift should reverse and drive:

(11) When loading goods, the fork should be placed to the bottom. After inserting the fork into the stack, the fork arm should be in contact with the goods. Then, the door frame should be tilted back to the limit position, and the fork should be raised 200mm to 300mm above the ground before driving:

(12) When lifting or lowering goods, no one is allowed under the lifting frame; Prohibit the use of forks to lift people;

(13) When carrying out loading and unloading operations, the gantry should be placed in a vertical position, and the forklift should be in a braking state:

(14) Connect the power, first turn on the key switch, select the position of the steering switch, turn the steering wheel to see if the vehicle rotates normally, slowly step on the speed control pedal, and maintain an appropriate starting acceleration:

(15) Pay attention to the voltage on the voltmeter. When the forklift is working, if the voltage on the voltmeter is below 41V (or the capacity is below 30%), it should be stopped immediately and the battery should be charged or replaced with a fully charged battery:

(16) During transportation, the load should not exceed the specified value, the spacing and position of the forks should be appropriate, and all forks must be inserted into the cargo

Under the goods, evenly distribute them on the forks to avoid uneven loading:

(17) The movement of the joystick of the multi way directional valve can control the speed of lifting or lowering the cargo The initial speed of lifting or lowering should not be too fast;

(18) Before tilting the door frame forward and backward, the forklift should brake. When tilting forward, reduce the throttle and slowly tilt to prevent the goods from suddenly slipping out:

(19) When working with a high lift forklift, try to tilt the gantry backwards as much as possible, and the loading and unloading operations should be carried out in the smallest range before and after Tilt; Prohibit forklifts from driving and turning while the forks are raised;

(20) High lift forklifts with a lifting height greater than 3 meters should pay attention to the falling of goods above and take protective measures if necessary;

(21) The height of loading and unloading should be limited to within the height of the shelving. If the height of the goods exceeds the shelving, it is easy to

Causing the goods to slide towards the operator can lead to serious accidents;

(22) When working outdoors, wind has a significant impact on the stability of forklifts, so special attention must be paid;

(23) When driving on docks or temporary planks, be extra careful and drive slowly;

(24) Forklifts should drive into the cargo pile at low speed, while paying attention to whether there are any protruding hard objects near the goods to avoid stabbing them Tires;

(25) When driving, pay attention to pedestrians, obstacles, and bumpy roads, and pay attention to the gap above the forklift;

(26) When the forklift is moving, it is prohibited to extend the handle, feet, and other parts of the body outside the cab, and it is not allowed to load on the vehicle People;

(27) When driving on a slope, be careful not to turn, cross, or drive diagonally, otherwise there is a risk of the forklift tipping over; When carrying goods on a steep slope, the uphill should be driven forward, and the downhill should be driven backward; Please use the foot brake and drive cautiously when going downhill; Never turn off the forklift when driving on a slope;

(28) It is prohibited for forklifts to suddenly start, accelerate, stop, and make sharp turns. Improper operation may cause the forklift to overturn. If such a situation occurs, the driver should remain calm and avoid jumping off the vehicle. They should grip the steering wheel tightly with both hands and tilt their body in the opposite direction of the forklift overturning.

(29) During use, the chain should be regularly inspected to ensure good lubrication conditions between the links,The tension of the left and right chains is consistent; If the chain experiences wear during use and the pitch change exceeds 2% of the standard value, the chain must be replaced to ensure safe load-bearing;

(30) When leaving the vehicle, lower the fork to the ground, place the gear lever in neutral, and disconnect the power supply. When parking on a slope, pull the parking brake device in place. If the parking time is long, use wedges to cushion the wheels;

(31) When the door frame tilts forward or backward to the extreme position or the fork is lifted to the maximum height, the handle must be quickly returned Middle position;

(32) The pressure of the multi way valve and safety valve of the forklift has been adjusted before leaving the factory. Users should not adjust them arbitrarily during use to avoid excessive pressure adjustment and damage to the entire hydraulic system and hydraulic components;

(33) Inflate the tire according to the pressure value specified on the "Tire Pressure" label;On a flat and sturdy road surface, drivers will feel the vibration of the forklift during operation and driving, and the vibration intensity of the forklift will fluctuate with changes in the working environment;

(35) The bottom of the forklift counterweight is equipped with a specialized towing bolt for dragging the forklift.

(36) Forklifts are generally used in environments below an altitude of 1000m, with temperatures ranging from -15 ℃ to 35 ℃. Caution should be exercised when using in other harsh environments.
