WARNING
The 6K forklift is less stable when traveling with the load in a raised position. If you must move the
vehicle with the load raised above the carry position (bottom of load 24 in. (610 mm) above the ground):
• Avoid sharp turns and sudden starts/stops.
• Operate all controls smoothly.
• Move very slowly.
• Keep the vehicle level.
c. Always carry the load low (bottom of load 24 in. (610 mm) above the ground) for maximum stability.
CAUTION
Make sure the lower cab door is closed when operating the vehicle. Forklift wheels can contact the
lower door if the door is left open.
d. Always operate the forklift with the lower cab door closed.
WARNING
• Extreme care must be taken to ensure that the boom does not come near overhead wires or structures. Death or
injury may result from contacting power lines. Never operate this vehicle close to electric power, or other,
lines. If lines are near to your operating area, notify your supervisor of the lines prior to starting work.
• Should contact with power line occur, stay on the vehicle until the boom is cleared or until the current is
turned off. Keep all personnel off the forklift. If you must leave the vehicle, JUMP, DO NOT STEP OFF.
WARNING
Travel on inclines, slopes, ramps and grades only as follows:
• Loaded forklift: with forks (and load) pointing uphill.
• Empty forklift: with forks pointing downhill.
e. Know the vehicle operating limits for ascending, descending, and traversing slopes.
