The 16-ton forklift has a large load capacity and operates in complex environments. Standardized operation not only ensures operational efficiency but also concerns the safety of personnel and goods. The following outlines the key operation points throughout the pre-operation, in-operation, and post-operation processes.
I. Pre-operation Preparation
1. Vehicle Inspection
Appearance Inspection: Carefully check the vehicle body and frame for deformation or cracks. Inspect whether the tire pressure is normal, and check the tread for wear, cuts, etc., to ensure there are no potential safety hazards.
Hydraulic System: Check the oil level of the hydraulic oil tank. If it is lower than the minimum mark, add the corresponding type of hydraulic oil in a timely manner. Check the hydraulic pipelines and joints for leakage to avoid insufficient power or equipment failure caused by hydraulic oil leakage.
Braking and Steering: Test whether the travel of the brake pedal meets the standard. The brake pedal should respond sensitively when depressed. Turn the steering wheel to check whether the steering system is flexible and whether there are any abnormalities in the hydraulic assist.
Safety Devices: Confirm that safety devices such as the emergency stop button, overload protection device, reversing warning system, and horn are working properly. Do not operate rashly if any of these devices malfunctions.

2. Site Confirmation
Plan the operation route in advance and clear obstacles on the route to ensure that the operation area is spacious and free from interference.
When operating indoors, such as in warehouses, pay attention to the height of the upper space to avoid the forklift hitting the ceiling, lights, or shelves when lifting goods. When operating on complex outdoor terrains, assess the ground bearing capacity and slope to prevent the vehicle from tipping over or getting stuck.

II. In-operation Specifications
1. Driving Posture and Startup
After entering the cab, adjust the seat to a comfortable position and fasten the seat belt. Hold the steering wheel correctly with both hands, place the right foot on the accelerator pedal, and position the left foot near the brake pedal to maintain a good driving posture.
When starting the forklift, insert the key into the ignition switch first, turn it to the start position, observe whether the instrument panel indicator lights turn on normally. After confirming that there is no fault alarm, slowly release the parking brake and start smoothly.

2. Cargo Loading, Unloading, and Handling
Picking up Cargo: Slowly drive the forklift close to the goods, adjust the distance between the fork arms to match the width of the goods, lower the fork arms to an appropriate height and insert them under the goods. Then, slowly raise the fork arms to lift the goods about 20 - 30 centimeters off the ground. Confirm that the goods are stable before driving.
Driving Operation: During driving, control the vehicle speed within a safe range. Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns. Slow down in advance when turning, honk to warn surrounding personnel, and pay attention to observing the rear - view mirrors and the state of the goods.
Stacking Operation: When approaching the shelves, reduce the speed and precisely adjust the position of the forklift. Slowly raise the fork arms to the target height, place the goods on the shelves steadily, then slowly lower the fork arms and leave the operation area.

3. Handling of Special Situations
If the center of gravity of the goods shifts or the goods are unstable, stop the operation immediately, readjust the position of the goods or use straps to secure them.
When the forklift malfunctions or makes abnormal noises, immediately park the vehicle in a safe area, turn off the engine, pull up the parking brake, set up warning signs, and promptly notify professional maintenance personnel for handling.

III. Post-operation Inspection and Parking
1. Vehicle Inspection
After the operation is completed, inspect the vehicle's appearance, tires, hydraulic system, etc. again, and record any abnormal situations for subsequent maintenance.
Check whether the temperature of components such as the engine and hydraulic system is too high. If there are any abnormalities, wait for them to cool down before further troubleshooting.

2. Parking Specifications
Park the forklift in the designated area, ensure that the ground is flat, pull up the parking brake, and shift the gear to neutral. Lower the fork arms to the lowest position, turn off the power, and remove the key for proper storage.
If the forklift is parked for a long time, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent power loss. When parking outdoors, take necessary rain - proof and sun - proof measures to protect the vehicle's performance.
