• When lifting parts or assemblies, make sure all slings, chains, or cables are correctly fastened, and that the load
being lifted is balanced. Make sure the crane, cables, and chains have the capacity to support the weight of the
load.
• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair on electric lift trucks.
Disconnect the battery ground cable on internal combustion lift trucks.
• Always use correct blocks to prevent the unit from rolling or falling. See HOW TO PUT THE LIFT TRUCK ON
BLOCKS in the Operating Manual or the Periodic Maintenance section.
• Keep the unit clean and the working area clean and orderly.
• Always use HYSTER APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts must meet or exceed the
specifications of the original equipment manufacturer.
• Make sure all nuts, bolts, snap rings, and other fastening devices are removed before using force to remove parts.
• Always fasten a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the controls of the unit when making repairs, or if the unit needs
repairs.
• Gasoline, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Diesel fuel are flammable. Be sure
to follow the necessary safety precautions when handling these fuels and when working on these fuel systems.
• Batteries generate flammable gas when they are being charged. Keep fire and sparks away from the area. Make
sure the area is well ventilated.
NOTE: The following symbols and words indicate safety information in this
manual:
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury and property damage.
On the lift truck, the WARNING symbol and word are on orange back-
ground. The CAUTION symbol and word are on yellow background.
