Safety Precautions
Operate your forklift defensively. Exercise caution in driving and load
handling, and observe the safety points outlined below.
1. Do not operate the Kesmac forklift until you have completed your
employer’s training program as required by OSHA.
BE FULLY QUALIFIED.
2. ALLOW NO RIDERS.

10. WHEN LEAVING THE FORKLIFT, LOWER THE FORKS
COMPLETELY, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, SHUT OFF THE
ENGINE, AND REMOVE KEY. BLOCK THE WHEELS WHEN
ON AN INCLINE OR WHEN SERVICING THE TRUCK.
11. DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING.
12. REPORT ANY DAMAGE OR FAULTY OPERATION OF
FORKLIFT IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT UNTIL
FAULT IS CORRECTED.
13. OBSERVE ALL TRAFFIC RULES AND DRIVE CAREFULLY.
14. OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING LOAD HANDLING TECHNIQUES:
a) Handle only loads within rated capacity of forklift as directed
by Kesmac.
b) Always centre the weight of wide loads between the forks.
c) Keep all loads against the carriage.
d) Never travel with load raised higher than necessary.
e) For better vision with bulky loads travel in reverse.
f) Lift and lower loads with the mast vertical or tilted slightly
back.
15. As a further safety precaution, it is recommended that a fire
extinguisher be carried in a convenient location on the machine at
all times.
16. When checking engine coolant, remove the radiator cap slowly to
relieve pressure and always use hand protection, if the engine is
hot.
17. Never use a naked flame to check the battery electrolyte level.
The acid gasses could explode.
18. Prevent battery electrolyte or hydraulic oil contacting your eyes or
sensitive parts of skin.
19. Always use lights, reflectors, and emblems to comply with
relevant regulations whenever the machine is being driven on
public roads.
20. When getting on or off the machine, always use the handles and
footsteps provided, do not jump.
21. Maintain steps and cab floor free from mud, ice or grease, and
loose objects that may obstruct the functioning of controls.
22. Do not drive the machine against solid objects. If a load is too
great to move, use alternative operating techniques which work
the machine within its capacity.
23. Always exercise caution when driving downhill.
24. Only start the engine or operate the machine from the driver’s
seat.
25. Before commencing work, test stabilizers, lights, horn and all

and the machine, therefore Kesmac cannot list all possible
precautions that may prevent accidents.
The owner, operator, and service personnel must assume
responsibility for their own safety, the safety of others and
of the machine, by following all safety instructions and fully
understanding the proper and safe operation of the mach-
ine as outlined in the manual.
The operator should at all times be aware of any potential
safety hazards and take corrective action immediately if a
dangerous situation should arise.

ration of the machine.
• Asking your supervisor, your Kesmac Dealer, or
contacting the factory for explanation of anything
you do not understand concerning the operation of
the machine.

the safety decals, to anyone that does not under-
stand them that may be involved in its operation.
