This Special Instruction contains supplemental information for the U.S. Navy 980H 25K (25,000 lbs) Capacity Rough Terrain Forklift. This special instruction is a supplement to the service manual for your machine.
Operation Section
The operation section is a reference for the new operator and a refresher for the experienced operator. This section includes descriptions of gauges, switches, machine controls, attachment controls, transportation, and towing information.
Operator Controls
Illustrations guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, starting, operating, and stopping the machine. Operating techniques that are outlined in this publication are basic. Skill and techniques develop as the operator gains knowledge of the machine and the capabilities of the machine.
