near an elevator.

Handling Loads Safely


Do not overload this lift truck. See the specification plate for
capacity.

WARNING: 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.

Elevate the operator platform only to


do order picking. Watch for
obstructions, especially overhead.

Publication 1031792D 7
Safety
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.

Safety
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

Publication 1031792D 9
Safety
Battery Safety
WARNING:
• 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.

Fault Codes
If a fault occurs, travel and/or lift
functions may be disabled. The Code 2A
Operator Display presents the
fault code and associated
message. The wrench icon and/or
the thermometer icon on the
Operator Display flashes. A fault
code has a higher priority than
other functions, such as hours or
battery condition. Therefore, the Thermometer Icon
Operator Display shows a fault
code before it shows the battery
condition.

The fault is shown first by a two Code 43


character code, followed by a
message. The code and message
repeat continually until reset.

Example of a fault code:

Code 42 inform service


Wrench Icon

Depending on the problem, the lift truck not only visually


shows that a problem exists, but it might also sound a tone.
(See Audible Alarm on page 40.) The tone and sound pattern
vary, depending on the type of problem sensed by the system.

Fault codes limit or disable the ACR system until the problem
is corrected. If a fault code appears, first try to clear it by
turning the key switch OFF ( O ) and ON ( I ) several times. If
this does not clear the code, then contact an authorized
service technician to correct the problem. Do not operate this
lift truck before correcting the problem.

Wire Guidance (Optional) —Acquiring
the Guide Wire
When the wire guidance switch is ON ( I ), you control the
same functions as when the wire guidance switch is OFF ( O ),
except for the steering. When the lift truck is locked on the
guide wire, you cannot control the steering. It is now
automatic.

NOTE: Review the Start-up procedure on page 45. Although it


is possible to acquire the guide wire when driving in
the forks-first position, acquiring the guide wire
tractor-first is the recommended method.

To acquire the guide wire follow these steps:

1. Drive the lift truck tractor-first


towards the entrance to the
aisle. Begin slowing down as
you are approaching the guide
wire.
2. As the lift truck approaches the
guide wire, slow it down to
below its acquire speed. (This
speed is configurable; contact
Guide
your local authorized Raymond Wire
Sales and Service Center
service representative.)
3. Turn the wire guidance switch
to ON ( I ) when the lift truck is
finding the guide wire. The two
triangular green wire guidance
lights come on and an alarm
sounds. Continue to drive the
lift truck so that it is centered
over the guide wire. When the
lift truck senses the guide wire,
the alarm stops and steering becomes automatic.
4. Continue driving the lift truck along the wire until the two
triangular green lights and the three yellow lights stay
illuminated. The lift truck is now locked on the guide wire.
You can now drive it at its full rated speed.

See page 55 for End-of-Aisle Slowdown if your lift truck has


this optional feature installed.

Publication 1031792D 53
Lift Truck Operation
Rail Guidance (Optional)
To enter a rail guided aisle follow these steps:

1. Slowly drive the lift truck


tractor-first so that it
approaches the centerline of
the aisle. Slow the lift truck
down to 1 mph (1.6 km/h) or
less.
2. Steer the lift truck so that it is
in-line with the aisle.
3. Slowly drive the lift truck
forward. Watch the lift truck's
rail guidance to ensure that
both rail guidances are
properly aligned with the
guided aisle.
4. When the lift truck's rail
guidance is between the rails,
you can drive the lift truck at
its full rated speed.
5. If this lift truck has the
optional aisle-steer centering:
a. You can lock the drive
wheel in its straight-ahead
position by moving the
auto-steer center switch to
ON ( I ).
b. Turn the auto-steer centering switch to OFF ( O ) as
the lift truck leaves the aisle. The horn will beep and
steering will return to MANUAL. You must now steer
the lift truck.

54 Publication 1031792D
Lift Truck Operation
End-of-Aisle Slowdown (Optional)
This is an optional feature on lift trucks that are equipped with
either the wire-guidance or rail-guidance system. When active
the system allows full speed while the lift truck is in the aisle.

The system when active will decelerate the truck when it


approaches the end of an aisle and either slow or plug to a
stop depending on the selected configuration. The operator
may, however, override the end-of-aisle slowdown with more
aggressive plugging.

As the truck exits an aisle, the lift truck is limited to the


selected end-of-aisle speed until the throttle control is
returned to neutral.

Use of Pallets on Raymond Operator-up
Lift Trucks
When a pallet is used for order picking, it is not a work
platform but rather a place to temporarily set materials being
retrieved or stored. When placing material on a pallet, it is
often necessary to place one foot on the pallet to reach the
back surface.

Allowable pallet types:


NOTE: Make sure that all pallets are in good repair, double-
faced with a center stringer, and do not contain
undersized stringers or boards.
• Double-faced pallets with a center stringer that lets the
pallet clamp securely fasten the pallet to the platform
• Pallets that are in good repair, having no broken or missing
boards and no loose connections or fasteners between
pallet components
• Wood or plastic pallets that conform to the above

Operator procedures:
• Use the pallet clamp to securely fasten the pallet to the lift
truck
• Use the personal fall protection system in accordance with
safety guidelines (see page 5)
• When stepping on the pallet, place one foot on the portion
of the pallet located between the forks, not on the edge of
the pallet

4.17 Elevating Personnel

4.17.1 Only operator-up high lift trucks have been designed to lift personnel.
On these trucks the requirements of paragraph 4.17.2 shall be met for the
protection of personnel. If a work platform is used on trucks designed and
intended for handling materials, the requirements of paras. 4.17.2 and 4.17.3
shall be met for the protection of personnel.

4.17.2 Whenever a truck is used to elevate personnel, the following


precautions for the protection of personnel shall be taken:

(a) Comply with the design requirements in para 7.37 of this Standard.

(b) Provide protection for personnel in their normal working position on the
platform from moving parts of the truck that represent a hazard.

(c) Make sure required fall restraint means, such as guardrails and/or
personal fall protection systems, are in place and properly used (see
7.37.1(d)(1). For personal fall protection system configurations, see Table 1 on
page 66.

(d) Be certain that the lifting mechanism is operating smoothly throughout its
entire lift height, both empty and loaded, and that all lift limiting devices and
latches, if provided, are functional.

(e) Provide overhead protection as indicated to be necessary by the operating


conditions.

(f) All components of the personal fall protection system shall be inspected
and maintained in accordance with the schedule and requirements found in
Section 6 of ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007 Safety Requirements for Personal Fall
Arrest Systems, Subsystems and Components.
