1 Lift Truck Fundamentals
1.1 The Lift Truck Operator

The single most important aspect of a lift truck is the operator. The operator is
responsible for the lift trucks safe operation. In order to operate the machine safely, the
operator must act in a professional manner. Professional operators must have certain
characteristics and qualities to achieve this.
The Professional Lift-truck Operator must:
Be Responsible
Be On time
Be Rested, alert and physically prepared
Be Knowledgeable with regards company rules
Wear protective clothing and equipment
Always use any safety equipment fitted to the machine, including the operator restraint.
Have a desire to learn.
Be skilled in their actions and eager to develop / improve these skills.
Be in complete control of their lift truck at all times
Note: If an operator is taking prescribed medication that causes

drowsiness, they must inform their supervisor before starting to operate
the machine.
1.2 The Operators Manual

It is vital that you read and familiarise yourself with this operators manual. It contains all
the information about the safe operation of your truck and details of all the controls, their
location and their function. Every Combilift Machine is delivered with an operators
manual located in the operators cabin. Ensure that this manual is kept safe and in good
condition. Also included with the operators manual is a spare parts manual. The
Manuals delivered with your Combilift are specific to your machine. If they are lost,
please contact your supplier for a new set.
1.3 The Differences Between Your Car and Your Combilift Straddle Carrier.
Most people are under the impression that if you can drive a car, you can operate a lift
truck. This is NOT the case, especially when you consider lift trucks such as your
Combilift.
Just because you may hold a current drivers licence, this does not immediately qualify
you to drive a Combilift or any other type of industrial machinery. You must be fully
trained and certified in each and every machine that you will be required to operate.
SC3-OM-EN-05 Page 5
1.4 Warning Decals

There are a number of different decals located around the Combilift. These decals have
different functions. Some indicate warnings - such as nip points or moving parts, and
some provide important information to the operator, such as grease point locations. It is
important to study what each one means and where they are located
1.5 The Serial Plate
The Serial Plate is required by law to be displayed on all lift trucks. On all Combilift
Machines it is located inside the operators cabin. Make sure you are aware of the
location of the serial plate on your Combilift.

1.6 Understand the Capacity of your Lift-Truck

It is the responsibility of the operator to determine that the weight of the load to be
handled is not greater than the capacity shown on the serial plate. The operator must
not handle any load that is greater than the capacity shown.
The basic function of a lift truck is to lift, move and place materials. The basic principal
of a straddle carrier is to lift the load from four points, all four points must be locked in
position with twist locks.

1.7 Centre of Gravity (CG)

The centre of gravity of any object is the single point about which the
object is balanced in all directions. Every object has a centre of gravity.
When the lift truck picks up a load, the truck and load have a new,
combined centre of gravity.
The Combilift has moving parts that change its centre of gravity. The centre of gravity
moves up and down as the load is loaded and deloaded, the Combilifts centre of gravity
never changes when it is in a deloaded state. Lifting a load and the type of load will
determine the centre of gravity in a loaded state.
The centre of gravity and therefore stability is also affected by the size, weight, shape
and position of the load and the height to which it is raised. Truck movement such as
acceleration, braking, turning and uneven surfaces will also affect truck stability.
Note: Load should be positioned so the centre of gravity is in the centre. Load to be
distributed evenly on all wheels.
SC3-OM-EN-05 Page 7
1.8 Operating Conditions

The Combilift can operate on a variety of different surfaces and in various conditions but
the following should be noted:
1.9 Ground Surface:
Floor and road surfaces should be of adequate load capacity, firm, smooth and level.
Approaches to kerbs, railway crossings etc. should also be firm, smooth and adequately
ramped to prevent possible displacement.
1.10 Aisle Dimensions:
Aisles should be arranged to eliminate corners, angles, inclines, steep ramps, narrow
passages and low overhead clearance.
1.11 Headroom:
Structures over aisles, which may be potential obstacles should be defined and marked
with a conspicuous colour. Low doorways should be marked with their clearance limits.
Warning
Alwaysbeawareofoverheadelectricalpowercables.Alwaysremainaminimumof5Mfrom
overheadpowerlinesasanelectricarccanoccurevenwhenapproachinganelectricline.
Thisposesahighriskfornotonlytheoperatorbutforotherpersonnelnearby.
1.12 Operating in Hazardous Areas:

Standard trucks are not equipped to operate in cold stores, flammable or explosive
areas, corrosive atmospheres or areas containing a high degree of dust contamination.
Whilst specialised Combilifts will be fitted with the required safety equipment, operators
must adhere to all specific operation instructions laid out for hazardous areas by the
relevant authorities.
1.13 Gradients:
When differences in levels exist, low gradient ramps should be provided, having
smooth, gradual level changes at top and bottom to prevent shocks to the load. Except
in emergencies, do not turn the truck on gradients. Correct gradient procedure should
be followed at all times (see Safe Operation in section 3) Do not park on a gradient. In
an emergency apply parking brake and chock wheels, but do not leave the truck
unattended.
SC3-OM-EN-05 Page 8
1.14 Adverse Weather Conditions:

There are a number of weather conditions for which extra care must be taken.
High Winds: Do not operate the truck in winds that are greater in speed than
50km/hr as this can have serious effects on the stability of the machine.
Electrical Storms: Always discontinue operation of the truck in the event of an

approaching electrical storm due to the associated risks of lightning.
1.15 Extreme Temperatures:

The Combilift is rated to operate between -30C and +43C. If the temperature falls
below or rises above this range discontinue operation of the machine in order to prevent
damage to various components.

When transporting hazardous material:
Always refer to the Material Safety and Data Sheets
Know the procedure for handling the material
Always wear the correct protective clothing
Know the procedure for cleaning any spills
Know what medical action is required, should you become exposed to the
material
3.3 Safe Operation Around Pedestrians

When working in close proximity to pedestrians always give pedestrians the right of way
and always follow normal designated traffic patterns
When approaching a corner or blind spot, slow down, sound your horn and check any
convex mirrors in place.
If you are in the middle of a task, finish the task, and only signal the pedestrian to
continue to pass once you are finished. Ensure that the pedestrian is completely out of the
way before continuing to your next task.
If you are passing a pedestrian, sound the lift truck horn and make them aware of your
presence. Establish eye contact with them and stay clear of them.
Never allow a pedestrian to ride on your vehicle.
Never allow a pedestrian to pass underneath the elevated portion of the lift truck.
Never raise anyone on the ropes of the truck.
Keep pedestrians away from your vehicle.
3.4 Safe Operation on Ramps

NEVER attempt to turn on a ramp
3.5 Parking your Combilift

There are two recommended methods for parking your Combilift. One is called the
Attended parking method, for cases where the operator needs to exit the machine but
will be no more than 8 metres away. The other is the Unattended parking method, for
cases where the operator must exit the machine but will be further than 8 metres away
The Attended Parking Procedure

Bring machine to a complete stop by depressing the inching pedal fully.
Once stopped, apply the parking brake and set the directional control lever to the neutral position.
If loaded, rest the load on the ground.
Leave the machine turned on.
Remove the seatbelt from its retainer and exit the Combilift by using the three point
contact method as discussed earlier
Stay within 8 Metres of the machine at all times.
NEVER leave Combilift unattended when engine is running.
The Unattended Parking method

Bring machine to a complete stop by depressing the inching pedal fully.
Once stopped, apply the parking brake and set the directional control lever to the neutral position.
If loaded, rest the load on the ground.
Turn off the machine.
Remove key from ignition and from the Combilift.
Remove the seatbelt from its fastener and exit the Combilift by using the three point contact
method as discussed earlier.
Chock wheels if on an incline
Warning

NEVER stand under the load of the Combilift under any circumstances
Warning

DO NOT leave the Combilift unattended with a load at any time.
3.6 Handling Loads Lifting, Travelling, and Depositing
There are a number of steps that need to be taken in order to safely move a load from
one position to another with the minimal amount of risk.
Step 1: Assess the Load Examine the load for the following:
Is the load damaged or broken?
Are there any straps around the load that are Frayed or broken?
Is the load poorly balanced? Does it have excess weight to one side?
Is the load the correct weight? If unsure have it weighed.
Make any necessary repairs to the load before lifting
Step 2: Set the Ropes

Ensure that the ropes are evenly spaced on the load.
Ensure that the twist locks are securely fastened to the load before lifting.
Step 3: Lifting a Load

Position the Combilift squarely and as close as possible to the centre of the load.
Apply the parking brake and set the directional control lever to the neutral
position.
Lower the ropes to the correct lifting position.
Always ensure the ropes are not twisted before attempting to lift a load, this can
cause serious mechanical damage to the ropes and the Combilift.
Raise the ropes to engage the load.
Once the locks are engaged, lift the load slowly with the ropes.
Lift the load as high as possible so as to fasten it to the upper frame of the
straddle. (See the note on the following page if this is not possible.)
Note
In cases where it is not possible to compress the load against the upper frame, the
operator must take adequate precautions to prevent the load from swinging.
Swinging can cause damage to the load and/or truck and cause the truck to become
unstable. Precautions may include driving slowly and smoothly, avoiding any erratic
movements. Extra care should be taken when turning corners and/or driving on uneven
ground.
Step 4: Travelling With a Load

When travelling with a load always keep the load locked in position. See note
above if it is not possible to lock the load in position.
Try to avoid sudden and erratic movements with the machine. Accelerate and
brake as smoothly as possible.
When approaching a junction or corner, slow down, sound the horn and proceed
only when you are sure that your path is unobstructed. Remember to turn slowly.
Step 5: Placing a Load

Slow down and position the truck squarely alongside where you wish to place the
load, stop as close to the centre of the placement area as possible.
Step 6: Tip Over Procedure

When operating a Combilift or any industrial vehicle, always wear the safety belt.
Should a tip over occur, DO NOT jump from the truck. Stay in the cabin.
Hold on tight to the steering wheel
Brace your feet on the floor.
Lean forward and away from the impact.
HOLD ON TIGHT LEAN AWAY

TO STEERING WHEEL BRACE FEET FROM IMPACT LEAN FORWARD
Step 7: Travelling Without a Load
When travelling without a load always keep the ropes and twist locks locked in
place at the designated hook positions on the Combilift as shown.
If not this can serious injury to the operator, a pedestrian or even cause
mechanical damage to the Combilift.
Try to avoid sudden and erratic movements with the machine. Accelerate and
brake as smoothly as possible.
When approaching a junction or corner, slow down, sound the horn and proceed
only when you are sure that your path is unobstructed. Remember to turn slowly.
3.7 Travelling in Telescopic mode (OPTIONAL)

When in cabin Telescopic Indicator is constantly flashing this is to warn the
operator that the Combilift has exceeded a height of 4.8M / 15ft 7in.
The operator must make adequate decisions to ensure that the Combilift does
not come into contact with overhead power lines or low ceilings and other
structures.
3.8 Combilift Stability Indicator (OPTIONAL)
The Combilift truck is equipped with a stability dial. This gives the operator a visual aid
on the trucks incline when lifting the telescopic.
When the arrow is pointing at the 0o /

Neutral the Combilift is level and on a safe
operating surface.
If the arrow moves away from the Neutral

position, the Combilifts position is compromised
and the operator MUST take adequate action to
resolve this.
The operator must never operate the

Combilift when the arrow is pointing to the red
section of the dial.

WARNING
To ensure proper lift and avoid possible injury from falling load:
Lifter should only be used for its designated purpose and in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Personnel should NOT ride on the lifter, or place themselves in, under, or directly adjacent to the lifting area.
A low height test lift should be conducted to confirm lifter function and load stability.
The lifter load should be balanced so that excessive point loading does not occur.
All lifting should be done in a smooth, even manner to minimize shock to the lifter and load.
4 The Pre-Operational Inspection
At the end of this section you will know and be able to explain:
The importance of the Pre-Operational inspection.
How to perform a Pre-operational inspection.
4.1 Why are Pre operational checks needed?
Pre-operational inspections are an ESSENTIAL part of any lift truck operators working
day. Pre-operational checks only take a few minutes to perform and have significant
benefits. The main benefits being that a pre-operational inspection:
Reduces the risk of injury to the operator and other employees.
Improves and maintains the condition of the lift truck.
Increases productivity.
Reduces Downtime and maintenance costs
Pre-operational checks can be performed and recorded on a checklist such as the one
at the end of this section. These inspection sheets should be filled out at the beginning
of every day, or in the case of a multiple shift system, at the beginning of each shift.
The Pre operational inspection should be broken into two distinct areas:
The Visual inspection
The operational checks
4.2 The Visual Inspection.
The visual inspection is basically a walk round of the machine checking various points.
The Points to look at in this section are:
Overall condition Look for scrapes, dents, and other signs of damage. Watch
for missing or loose nuts and bolts. Check underneath the machine for signs of
leaking fuel, engine coolant, or oil.
Tyres and wheels Check that all the wheel nuts are present and tight. Look for
cuts in the tyres or foreign objects in the rubber. Also look for Plastic straps, wire,
and other debris caught between the wheel and the wheel motor. Note: Always
wear gloves when checking the tyres to avoid injury on sharp pieces of debris.
Check the overall condition of the lifting ropes and chain for any wear or damage
of any kind.
Overhead Guard look for signs of damage and cracking to the overhead guard.
Report any signs of damage immediately to your supervisor.
Check All the Fluid levels i.e. the battery electrolyte and the hydraulic oil level.
Do not operate the truck if any of these fluid levels are below the min value
reading.
4.3 The Operational Checks.
Next you need to carry out operational checks. This final inspection ensures that the
functions of the Combilift are fully operational. To perform the checks follow through the
list of instructions below in order to safely check your Combilift.
Listen Listen to the machine for a few seconds before driving off. Be alert for
any strange sounds or noises from the pump or motor. Also be on the lookout for
any strange odours that may indicate a problem such as a very strong smell of
burning.
Check the Dash look at the dash and make sure that the warning lights are all
extinguished. The only lights that should be on after the machine is started
should be the parking brake and the direction light. Should any other lights be
illuminated, stop the machine and report the fault to your supervisor. A full list of
all the gauges, indicators and controls along with each function can be found in
section 2 of this manual.
Check the hydraulic functions After checking that there is adequate space and
headroom, perform checks on all hydraulic functions. Fully extend and retract all
functions making sure that the operation is smooth and controlled watch for any
sticking. The operator of the Combilift should fully extend all hydraulic controls
fully and hold for 3 seconds and retract fully and hold for 3 seconds each day to
ensure synchronized use.
IMPORTANT
Please lower front & rear lifts fully at least once per day
Check the Brakes Set the directional control lever to the neutral position and
apply the Parking Brake. Turn The Machine on. With the parking brake still
applied, select forward on the directional control lever. Sound the horn, Apply
light pressure to the accelerator pedal, and release the parking brake. The
machine should start to move slowly forward. Depress the inching pedal fully.
The machine will stop. Release the inching pedal and the machine will move off
again. Then reapply the parking brake and the machine will stop. If either brake
is not working do not operate the machine and report the fault to your supervisor.
In the highly unlikely event of neither brake working, you can also stop the
machine by turning off the engine. Make sure that you have adequate space to
perform this test and that it is performed on a level surface.
Check the Directional Control Lever With the machine turned on and the
parking brake applied, select forward mode. Sound the horn, apply light pressure
to the accelerator, and release the parking brake. The machine should move
forward. Depress the inching pedal to stop the machine. Sound the horn, select
reverse on the directional control stick and release the inching pedal. The
machine should now travel backwards. Depress the inching pedal to stop the
machine and apply the parking brake.
Check the steering Set the steering wheel to the most comfortable position for
driving by use of the adjustment lever on the left hand side of the column. With
the machine turned on and the parking brake applied, apply light pressure to the
accelerator, and turn the steering wheel fully clockwise and counter-clockwise.
The steering should move easily in either direction, and not seem excessively
stiff or loose.
On completion of the inspection:
Report any defect immediately to the supervisor / appropriate person

Never operate a lift truck that is in need of repair
Repairs should only be performed by authorised personnel.
A sample of the daily inspection sheet is shown on the following page and can also be
downloaded from our website, www.combilift.com in the dealer logon area. If you do not

5 Service information
The service intervals are given in both operating hours (recorded on the lift truck meter)
and in calendar time. Service the machine at the interval that occurs first. These
intervals are based on normal operation of 8 hours per day. The time intervals must be
decreased from the recommendations in the maintenance schedule for the following
reasons:
If the lift truck is used more than 8 hours per day.
If the lift truck must work in dusty operating conditions.
Combilift trucks are built with quality components. The use of inferior spare parts can
result in inadequate safety and poor reliability. Only use genuine approved parts.
5.1 Initial Service at 100 hours and Refer to Maintenance Schedule Thereafter
The initial service at is conducted to ensure that the Combilift is in optimum working
condition and to increase the working life of components. To complete the Initial service,

level of the oil level gauge on the hydraulic tank
Note: Whilst other oils can be used, never use any other Hydraulic oils other than those
approved by authorised Combilift Personnel. Please contact your local Combilift advisor
for more info.
5.4 Wire Rope Maintenance

Wire ropes should be inspected on a daily basis as part of the routine daily checks.
Re-lubricating:
The ropes should be re-lubricated at least every 3 months. It is recommended if
possible to re-lubricate the ropes as they passes through the sheaves. Lubricants are
most commonly painted or sprayed onto the rope, a complete film should be applied to
the surface. In the case of special environmental conditions, for example high humidity,
the lubricant type and frequency of re-lubrication may need to be reviewed and
adjusted. The following lubricants are recommended:
Anderol FRD 2 Grade 32 Wire Rope Lube

Esso Elbac K-68 Grade 68 Wire Rope Lube
ROCOL Wire Rope Spray
Note: If ropes are not regularly re-lubricated shorter service life of the rope is to be
expected.
Cleaning:
It is recommended that very dirty ropes be cleaned when necessary. This applies
particularly to ropes operating in extremely abrasive conditions. After cleaning the ropes
must be allowed to dry thoroughly and then re-lubricated.
5.5 Chain Maintenance

Chains should be inspected on a daily basis as part of the routine daily checks. The
chains should be serviced for elongation every 6 months.
5.6 Telescopic (OPTIONAL) / Sideshift

Telescopic legs and Sideshift should be kept lubricated at all times. Each should be
kept as free from dirt build up as much as possible. Suitable grease must be of grade
EP2. Telescopic Legs and Sideshift should be greased every 250 hours.
5.7 Grease Point Chart

Lubricate all lower level grease points indicated on the chart on a weekly basis using an
appropriate EP2 Grease. Also lubricate all grease points on any attachments that may
be fitted to the Combilift.
Hard to reach grease points should be lubricated at service intervals.
