General Section Operator's Warning and Identification Plate Familiarize yourself with the OPERATOR'S WARNING Plate and, IDENTIFICATION, LIFT CAPACITY and ATTACHMENT PLATES. DO NOT exceed capacity as equipped load ratings. Operator's Warning Plate Lift Truck Capacity Rating Do not exceed allowable lift truck working capacity load ratings. The capacity of the lift truck is given by weight and distance to the load center. For example: a capacity of 1500kg(3300 lb) at 500mm(24in) means that the lift truck can lift 1500kg(3300lb) if the load center is 500 mm (24in) from both the vertical and horizontal faces of the forks.
Before attempting to lift any load, ensure that the weight and load center combination is within the capacity of the lift truck as shown on the capacity rating plate. To determine the load center measure the distance from the face of the carriage to the gravitational center of the load. The rated capacity on the plate refers to the capacity of the lift truck as it left the factory. Subsequent changes of any form to the equipment or battery can alter the lift truck’s rating. The rated capacity of the lift truck applies to operating conditions where the lift truck is on level ground. The capacity of the lift truck is reduced on inclines.
