5. Safety
A trademark of Meijer Special Equipment
Safety starts with the fork-lift truck driver. That is why we advise that the driver of the fork-lift truck
possesses a recognized diploma of a fork-lift truck driver.
Furthermore it is important to observe the following safety instructions:
1. Do not load the telescopic forks above the values defined by the manufacturer, concerning lifting
capacity and load centre.
2. Pull the load in if it is possible. ATTENTION, telescopic forks of the type REE are extension forks,
never pull them in with a load on.
3. Retract the telescopic forks during driving if there is no load on them.
4. Always drive with the telescopic forks in the lowest possible position.
5. Never drag the telescopic forks over the ground when driving.
6. Never allow riding on the telescopic forks or load.
7. Telescopic forks with defects may not be used until they are expertly repaired or replaced.
8. Before you start performing service work on the telescopic forks you must make sure that the fork-
lift truck is switched off and that there is no more pressure in the hydraulic system (remove the
ignition key).
9. The load should always be carried by the two telescopic forks as proportionally as possible.
10. Always keep the exterior of the outer forks free from grease and oil.
All abovementioned points must be read and understood by the fork-lift driver.

Warning:
Never exceed the maximum carrying capacity of the fork-lift truck,
irrespective of the carrying capacity of the telescopic forks.
Warning:
Never walk under the telescopic forks.
Warning:
Applicable only to telescopic forks with a high
palletstop (type Y2 or Y3), that with a retracted
fork is at a distance of 50mm or less from the
back of the fork (from palletstop front to the front
side of the back of the fork).
When retracting avoid squeezing limbs or goods
between the back of the fork and the palletstop.
This may result in serious injury or damage of
goods!
