11 7. Demonstrate how to operate the forklift: a) Position the forklift to access the load to be shifted. b) Pick up and travel with the load ensuring: Communication is maintained at all times with relevant personnel/workers. All instructions and directions are followed. The forklift does not collide with anything during travel. The forklift is operated at a safe speed appropriate to workplace conditions. Visibility is maintained at all times during travel. Safety devices are used in accordance with site procedures. The stability of the load and forklift is monitored at all times and adjustments are made to correct any problems. Mast tilt is applied appropriately and safely. Forklift is operated in forward and reverse according to work space restrictions. c) Place the load according to directions from your trainer. 8. Demonstrate the correct procedure for responding to a simulated emergency situation described by your trainer. 9. Park the forklift in the designated area away from hazards. 10. Demonstrate the correct shut down procedure for the forklift. Refer to the manufacturer s instructions for the correct shut down procedure. 11. Conduct post-operational checks on the forklift, secure the forklift and report any defects you find. STES STES TLILIC2001A Licence to operate a forklift truck - activity book V1 01 Page 11 of 12

15 Learning the Controls and Pedals Sheet (10min) Group Activity PEDALS Awareness YES NO The first thing to understand about most forklift trucks is that they have an automatic gearbox meaning the machine is similar to an automatic motor car in that you will have a pedal for acceleration and a pedal for braking, to slow the machine to a stop. GEARS Awareness YES NO Most forklift trucks will only have a single gear ratio for forward motion and a reverse gear for travelling backwards. TRAVEL FORWARD Awareness YES NO As a result of automatic transmission, you only need to push the gear stick (small electronic stalk located to left of steering column) one position forward to travel in a forward motion. TRAVEL IN REVERSE Awareness YES NO As a result of automatic transmission, you only need to push the gear stick (small electronic stalk located to left of steering column) one position backward to travel in reverse motion. AT NO TIME does the operator engage the pedal on the far left to use as a manual gear for gear changes. This pedal is a CLUTCH BRAKE and does not need to be engaged for the purpose of changing gears. Awareness YES NO CHANGING GEARS (from forward into reverse or vice versa) Awareness YES NO Stop the machine by engaging either the far left clutch brake or the middle primary brake. BOOSTING Awareness YES NO An industry term used to describe the elevation (lifting upwards only) of a heavy load by use of additional hydraulic pressure caused by engaging the clutch brake whilst still in forward gear and then pushing gently down on the accelerator. Used when the operator chooses to remain in the forward gear position without use of the handbrake. This is a permissible industry practice that recognizes technology and efficiency as the machine is built for you to disengage the main drive power at the transmission when the machine is halted by pressing down on the clutch brake, thus allowing an operator to perform a lift without the need to return the forklift to a neutral gear position and apply the handbrake. Avoid use of clutch brake as an inching pedal although this is a name given to this pedal by the manufacturer. Do not use clutch brake (when inching forward) as though it were a manual clutch pedal in a motor car as you apply acceleration, as this may cause the machine to suddenly move forward a few centimetres or more. This is not good practice if holding a heavy load up high in front of a racking system. Do this instead When needing to ensure a smooth take off every time engage both brake pedals (both clutch brake on far left and primary brake in middle of layout) then slowly release the far left pedal (clutch brake) followed then by the slow release of the primary brake pedal. This will ensure a smooth take off as you gently apply pressure to the accelerator whilst in either forward or reverse gear position. I have sampled the above basic forklift controls, pedals and manoeuvres and understand the need to operate smoothly at all times without applying unnecessary acceleration during boosting or during take off. * Name: Date: * Signature: STES STES LF Controls and Pedals Sheet V /08/2015
