FOREWORD
As a lift truck operator, you are respon-
sible for a machine that is useful, pow-
erful, and can be hazardous if not
operated as described. Your Global
Industrial truck may weigh more than
some cars, depending on the model.
Observing and practicing the safety
warnings in this manual cannot be over-
emphasized. Just knowing the warn-
ings, however, is no substitute for
common sense. Focusing on the task
at hand, in almost all cases, prevent
accidents. Think of the truck as your
own. In this way you will learn its capa-
bilities and limitations.
This manual is intended to remain with
the truck at all times as a handy refer-
ence guide to operation. Detailed main-
tenance procedures are found in the
parts and service manual for the spe-
cific truck model, and are to be per-
formed only by a qualified technician.
For further information on obtaining a
c o m p l e t e p a r t s a n d s e r v i c e m a n u a l , s e e
page 26 of this manual.
The operator who knows his truck will
learn to spot problems as they develop.
This is accomplished by performing the
Daily Checks and reporting any prob-
lems to the designated authority.

SAFETY SYMBOLS
WARNING and CAUTION are both signal words intended to alert the viewer to
the existence and relative degree of a hazard. They are both preceded by a safety
alert symbol consisting of an exclamation mark enclosed by a triangle.
A Warning indicates a hazard which could result in injury or death if proper pre-
cautions are not taken.
A Caution indicates a reminder of routine safety practices.
A prohibition slash (circle with diagonal slash through it) indicates a procedure or
action that should not be performed under any circumstances, as both personal
injury and/or damage to equipment will result.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Global Industrial Straddle trucks
utilize the straddle leg configuration,
which normally straddles the load.
Control for steering, braking, forward
and reverse travel, horn and speed con-
trol are all located on the control handle.
All trucks feature an automatic high
speed cut-off circuit which locks out
high speed when the forks are elevated.
NAME PLATE AND WARNING DECAL
Warning decal locations are near the
steering arm within sight of the operator.
The name plate is mounted on the
trucks rear cover. See illustration on
next pages
If the name plate or warning decal are
lost or damaged they should be
replaced immediately. Have your
supervisor or the designated authority
contact Global Industrial Authorized
Dealer for replacement.
The name plate shows the model num-
ber, serial number, and truck type. Bat-
tery type, with voltage and minimum
weight, is shown along with information
on the load capacity and load center.
The warning decal contains warnings
which also appear, with illustrations, in
the Operation section of this manual.

This truck is equipped with a battery. Read and heed the following warning plus
any other warnings located near or on the battery. An example is shown here:
LOAD CAPACITY
The further the load center is from the
backrest, the lower the load capacity.
The load center must also be no higher
than that specified above the lifting sur-
face (Top side of forks). For example, a
load capacity of 2200 pounds with a
load center of 24 inches means that the
truck can be used to lift 2200 pounds
only when the load’s center of gravity is
no more than 24 inches from the face of
the forks or 24 inches above the top side
of the forks. Note that a truck undergo-
ing speed changes is less stable than a
standing truck. If you are not sure that
the truck can lift a certain load, consult
your supervisor or the designated
authority.

BEFORE OPERATION
The table on page 9 covers important
inspection points on trucks which
should be checked prior to operation.
Depending on use, some trucks may
require additional checks.
The illustration on the next page shows
a sample format for an Operator Check-
list, which can be modified as necessary
to fit your operation.
Periodic maintenance of this
truck by a qualified service
technician is required.
A qualified service technician
should check the truck monthly
for proper lubrication, proper fluid
levels, brake maintenance,
motor maintenance and other
areas specified in the parts and
service manual maintenance
section.
If the truck is found to be unsafe
and in need of repair, or contrib-
utes to an unsafe condition,
report it immediately to the des-
ignated authority. Do not operate
it until it has been restored to a
safe operating condition. Do not
make any unauthorized repairs
or adjustments. All service must
be performed by a qualified ser-
vice technician.
