IMPORTANT
Breaking these rules may cause serious or fatal injury.
Figure 1
Typical relationship of rated load in lowest position (300 mm above ground)
with mast vertical
"A" is the point on the ground vertically below the top rear corner of the
container.
Figure 3 – shows truck in the mast vertical position with mast slightly tilted
back to allow load to be vertically above the position “A”.
When the load is in elevated position, bring the point "B" back to the original
point "A".
The lost load centre due to mast deflection is now removed
This is mast vertical and the basis for the trucks rating test
Tilting the mast forward passed this position reduces the trucks rating or
stability
WARNING This message is used when a hazard exists which can result in injury or
death if proper precautions are not taken.
The TERMINOLOGY and SYMBOLS used are VERY IMPORTANT for you and THOSE
AROUND YOU.
Towing decal
Located at the rear of the machine adjacent to the tow point to remind
operators to ensure they understand the limitations of towing, as
described in the Operator Manual
Operate your industrial truck safely; drive defensively; watch for other
people; know your truck’s capabilities and limitations.
Do not make repairs unless you have been trained to do so. Lift truck
mechanics are trained professionals. They know how to make repairs
safely.
Load
• Travel with load near operating surface and with upright tilted
back to cradle load whenever possible.
• Never lift or lower load when the truck is in motion.
• Attachments should be raised to clear surface obstructions.
• When the size and shape of bulky loads restrict your vision,
operate your truck in reverse to improve visibility.
• Always make certain that your load is well stacked and evenly
positioned and never carry loose or uneven material. Unstable loads are
a hazard to you and to your fellow workers.
• Never turn on a grade, either loaded or unloaded.
DANGER When right-angle stacking or moving with a raised load to clear low
objects, avoid sharp turns and move slowly.
• With wide loads, drive with extreme care and be alert to load end
swing when turning.
• Remember, wide and long loads will reduce the capacity of the
truck.
• Do not stack or carry loads above the carriage. Always ensure
your load is supported by the carriage or a factory approved load back
rest.
DANGER Operating on mud, gravel, oil, ice and sand can cause the truck to fall
over.
Refer to the NSW Workcover brochure, “Making Your Forklift Work For You”, for more
information on making industrial trucks in your workplace safe.
NOTE Those attempting to extinguish any fire should take care when lifting or
opening service panels or doors as they may become exposed to the
escaping fire. Extreme care should be taken as pneumatic tyres and their
rims can explode.
2.9 Modifications
Unauthorised modification is not permitted.
The following is extracted from ISO/DIS 3691-1.2
“No modifications or alterations to the truck, which may effect, for example,
capacity, stability or safety requirements of the truck, shall be made without the
prior written approval of the original truck manufacturer. This includes changes
affecting, for example, braking, steering, visibility and the addition of
removable attachments.”
DANGER Pot holes have the same affect as operating on side slopes.
If the truck is fitted with a double handling attachment, ensure the combined weight of the two
containers does not exceed the actual capacity of the truck, as shown on the nameplate.
Do not use the industrial truck if wind conditions are severe and load stability is reduced.

In order to improve the stability of the truck, automatic speed limits may be in
place, which vary depending on the configuration of the load. The truck may
be set with the following automatic speed limiting (please confirm this applies
to YOUR truck):
If ignition is switched off and park brake switch is not activated, park
brake will apply (system is failsafe) therefore if the truck is started
NOTE (ignition switch on) the park brake needs to be reset. This feature is only
available on wet disc brake units.

Lights
The OMEGA heavy lift truck is equipped with various 24 volt work lights in the
event that the lighting in the work area is insufficient to carry out tasks safely.
Locks and Latches
Various compartments are located around the OMEGA heavy lift truck. Many
of these have a locking facility for security.
Observers Seat (Optional)
An observer’s seat can be fitted, for the use of instruction to a new driver etc.
Under no circumstances must anyone ‘ride’ in the truck unless seat in an
authorised seat, complete with seat belt.
Electrical Box
All fuses are push reset, located behind left hand swing down panel. If fuses
continue to trip, consult an OMEGA service representative. Circuit overloads
can cause fire.
4.2.2 Start Up
Before attempting to start the engine:
• Adjust the seat position to ensure comfortable operating position
• Ensure the gear selector is in ‘Neutral’ and the Park Brake is applied
• Adjust any mirrors/visual aides as required
• Turn off any lights or electrical equipment to reduce the load on the battery
4.5.1 Approach
The approach to a storage area or machine should be at right angles (90 degrees)
to the storage area or machine.
4.5.2 Pick up
The length of the spreader must be adjusted to the size of the container to be
lifted by retracting the stops and then activating the extension button to extend
or retract the spreader beams to the correct length. At the required length, lift the
spreader high enough to give good visibility beneath it and to allow positioning
of the spreader ready to pick up the container.
It is important to remember that loads should only be lifted at the
NOTE specified lengths for which the spreader is designed. Lifting outside the
specified positions can result in serious damage to the spreader.
The spreader should now be side-shifting to the centre position and the reach
function should be in the fully retracted position.
Approach the container and line up the twistlocks with the container corner
fittings by using side shift and slew. Lower the container handler slowly and
enter the rear (nearest the truck) into the container corner fittings.
Once all four twistlocks (two on side-mount container handler attachments) are
fully seated and the landing pins fully depressed, the orange light will illuminate
in conjunction with the red light. Two seconds after the orange light illuminates
the twistlocks will automatically engage (if that feature is in automatic mode).
The green light will indicate that the twistlocks are correctly positioned and
locked. Alternatively if the twistlocks are in manual mode the operator can now
manually lock the twistlocks.
4.5.3 Travel
The safe operation of a laden or un-laden industrial truck is the responsibility of
the operator. Common sense in the operation of the machine is important. Only
loads that are within the machine’s rating conditions should be lifted.
Excessive travel speed, excessive cornering speed or hard braking can create an
unstable situation that can cause a serious accident, resulting in personal injury
or death. It is essential to use care and commonsense.
When travelling on gradients, the load should be uphill.
When turning with a load, watch for obstacles that may be struck by the load
extremities. Be aware of the truck’s rear end swing when turning to avoid
damage to the truck and other items in your work area.
NOTE Never park on a grade, unless the wheels are securely chocked in position
The OMEGA industrial truck can be fitted with a timer which will keep the
engine running for three (3) minutes after the ignition has been switched off.
This is to ‘cool’ the turbocharger and engine.
If it was not possible to eliminate the fault by performing the remedial actions indicated below,
please inform the Manufacturer or trained representative, as more intricate faults can only be
rectified by specially trained and qualified service staff.
Travelling direction lever not in neutral position. Set the travelling direction lever to its neutral position.
Steering binding.
Tyre inflation pressure of steer tyres low. Check the tyre inflation pressure
5.1.1 Hooks Remain Locked with the Container Weight off the Hooks
If the hooks are locked with the weight of container off the hooks, the unlocking
mechanism will not function. To allow the hooks to disengage:
• Tilt mast slightly forward.
• Raise the container.
• Depress the unlock button.
• Ensure green lights have extinguished.
• Lower container.
If the hooks are still in the corner casting and the red light is illuminated,
the situation could be dangerous and there is a risk of dropping the box. If
NOTE this occurs, stop the truck, lower the container and attempt to re-establish
the hooks into the correct position. If this is not possible, seek assistance.
Due to a policy of ongoing product improvement, specifications are subject to change without notice.
