FOREWORD
As a lift truck operator, you are responsible for a machine that is useful,
powerful, 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
overemphasized. Just knowing the warnings, however, is no substitute for
common sense. Focusing on the task at hand will, in almost all cases, prevent
accidents. Think of the truck as your own. In this way you will learn its
capabilities and limitations.
This manual is intended to remain with the truck at all times as a handy
reference guide to operation. Detailed maintenance procedures are found in the
service manual for the specific truck model, and are to be performed only by a
qualified technician. For further information on obtaining a complete parts
and service manual, see page 23 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 problems 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 precautions are nottaken.
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
Global Industrial Pallet trucks lift and transport loads on rigid forks.
Control for steering, braking, forward and reverse travel, horn, lift, lower
and speed control are all located on thecontrol handle.
Trucks in this series may vary in load capacity, battery arrangement, and
instrumentation, depending on model and options.
**NAME PLATE AND WARNING DECAL
**
Name plate and warning decal locations may vary between models, but they are
always near the steering arm within sight of the operator. 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 number, serial number, and truck type. Battery
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 Operating Precautions section of this manual.

WARNING: This truck is equipped with a battery. Read and heed the following warning plus any other warnings located near or on the battery.
LOAD CAPACITY
Do not overload truck. Check name plate for load weight capacity and load
center information. The load capacity depends on the load center. The load
maximum capacity listed on the capacity plate assumes a uniform load whose
center is at 1/2 the length of the fork and centered between the forks. The
maximum load capacity is reduced when the load center exceeds 1/2 the length
of the forks or is not centered between the forks. The fork length and
wheelbase must be adequate for the skid or bin to be handled. Note that a
truck undergoing 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 10 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 page 10 shows a sample format for an
Operator Checklist, which can be modified as necessary to fit your operation.
WARNING: Periodic maintenance of this truck by a QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN is required.
WARNING: 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 main-
tenance section.
WARNING: If the truck is found to be unsafe and in need of repair, or
contributes to an unsafe condition, report it immediately to the designated
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 service technician.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
The steering arm and control handle provide controls for steering, forward and
reverse speed control, braking, raising and lowering the forks, and horn.
Control handles on all models have a “belly-button” reversing switch which
reverses the direction of the truck upon contact with the operator. Control
Handle – Top
On the 989069 holding down one of the red “Turtle” buttons on the back of the
handle and at the same time activating the accelerator you can move the truck
in desired direction with the steer handle in the upright position. This
helps you out to move the truckin tight spaces.
Display Unit
- The LED display (1) shows the residual battery capacity, when it’s lower than 20% it must be charged.
- When the display (2) shows “NO BMS” the communication with the battery is disconnected and when it shows “BMS EER” the battery temperature or voltage is unbalanced.
- When display (3) is solid On the interlock switch is open. when flashing the interlock switch is closed and the running time will start.
- The display (4) will normally show the total running time however if there is a fault code on the truck itwill be displayed here.
The display unit has a range between 0 to 99999 hours and it will log hours
when traveling or lifting. The battery discharge indicator has a memory
function. It will display the state of charge (SOC) stored in memory, until a
fullcharge cycle has been completed, and the battery SOC reset threshold is
exceeded Low Voltage Protection
When the battery power is low the Low Voltage Protection will prevent the
forks from being raised and you must charge battery.
OPERATION
Driving Instructions
Forward and Reverse Travel and Speed Control
Control Handle
All directional and speed controls are located on the control handle. Forward
and reverse are controlled by rotating the speed control lever as shown. The
lever is spring loaded to return to neutral when released. Fur- ther rotation
in either direction will progress the truck from slow to maximum travel speed.
To change directions or to stop the truck, rotate the speed control lever in
the opposite direction. The truck will come to a stop and then, unless the
controls are returned to the center neutral position, accelerate in the
opposite direction.
Steering
Moving the control handle (which connects to the steering arm) right or left
will turn the truck right or left. When maneuvering around corners, make
square turns and be sure there is adequate clearance.
Stopping
Stop the truck as gradually as possible. Unnecessary rapid stopping could be
hazardous. Load could become unstable. To stop the truck’s movement (forward
or reverse), raise the control handle to the up position or push the control
handle all the way down. In both positions, the brake will apply. To release
the brake, just move the control handle to the operating position.
NOTE: The steering arm gas spring automatically raises the steering arm
to the upright position when the steering arm is released.
CAUTION: If the control handle does not raise immediately to the vertical
position when released, the truck should be placed “OUT OF SERVICE” until it
can be inspected by a qualified service technician.
Parking
When parking the truck, do not obstruct traffic lanes or aisles.
- Park the truck in its designated parking area.
- Raise the steering arm until vertical to apply parking brake.
- Fully lower forks.
- Remove the key from the keyhole.
- On the 989069 push the red disconnect plunger to remove all power from the truck circuits.
Load Handling
Handle only loads arranged for stability and always use caution. Raise and
lower the load smoothly to prevent the load from falling.
WARNING: Always be sure the load and load center are within the capacity
of the truck. If in doubt check the nameplate.
- Approach the load slowly.
- Move the truck slowly into position so that the forks are within pallet or skid, and the load is centered over the forks and as far back as possible.
- Push the button to raise the forks and lift the load.
- Lead the truck by the control handle with the load trailing except when in confined areas. Ramps should be traveled with operator uphill of truck when empty, or operator downhill of truck with load on forks standing off to side of truck.
- Always look in the direction of travel. Move slowly and check clearances when approaching obstructions.
- Do not make sudden starts and stops. Operate truck smoothly and gradually.
- Travel slowly and squarely around corners. Remember that the trailing load wheels do not follow the turn path of the drive wheel. Instead they tend to cut the corner.
- Line up the truck with the unloading area.
- Stop the truck and check the load alignment with surrounding objects.
- Be careful not to damage or move adjacent loads and objects.
- Lower the forks by pushing the lowering button until the load is resting on its own.
- Move the truck back until the forks are clear of the pallet.
Moving a Disabled Truck
Do not attempt to move a disabled truck; notify your supervisor or proper
authority.
