Information Section Foreword Literature Information Photographs or illustrations guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, operation and maintenance of the DOOSAN operator restraint system. SAFE and EFFICIENT OPERATION of a lift truck depends to a great extent on the skill and alertness on the part of the operator. To develop this skill the operator should read and understand the Safe Driving Practices contained in this manual. Forklift trucks seldom tipover, but in the rare event they do, the operator may be pinned to the ground by the lift truck or the overhead guard. This could result in serious injury or death.

Operator training and safety awareness is an effective way to prevent accidents, but accidents can still happen. The DOOSAN operator restraint system can minimize injuries. The DOOSAN operator restraint system keeps the operator substantially within the confines of the operator’s compartment and the overhead guard. This manual contains information necessary for Safe Operation. Before operating a lift truck make sure that the necessary instructions are available and understood. This manual should be stored in the operator's compartment in the literature holder or seat back literature storage area. This manual contains safety, operation, transportation, lubrication and maintenance information.

Some photographs or illustrations in this publication show details or attachments that can be different from your lift truck. Guards and covers might have been removed for illustrative purposes. Continuing improvement and advancement of product design might have caused changes to your lift trucks which are not included in this publication. Read, study and keep this manual with the lift truck. Whenever a question arises regarding your lift truck, or this publication, please consult your DOOSAN dealer for the latest available information. Safety The Safety Section lists basic safety precautions.

In addition, this section identifies the text and locations of warning signs and labels used on the lift truck. Read and understand the basic precautions listed in the Safety Section before operating or performing lubrication, maintenance and repair on this lift truck. Operation The Operation Section is a reference for the new operator and a refresher for the experienced one. This section includes a discussion of gauges, switches, lift truck controls, attachment controls, transportation and towing information. Photographs and illustrations guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, starting, operating and stopping the lift truck.

Operating techniques outlined in this publication are basic. Skill and techniques develop as the operator gains knowledge of the lift truck and its capabilities. Operator Restraint System (If Equipped) This manual contains safety, operation and maintenance information for the DOOSAN operator restraint system. Read, study and keep it handy. Your DOOSAN truck comes equipped with an operator restraint system. Should it become necessary to replace the seat for any reason, it should only be replaced with another DOOSAN operator restraint system. W ARN I N G 2
