Safety Requirements
WARNING: Industrial Equipment Can be Hazardous
Powered industrial equipment can be hazardous. This lift

truck is not like an automobile. It weighs as much as several
automobiles. It does not drive, steer, or stop like an
automobile.
Lift truck accidents often result from:
• Careless operators
• Untrained and unauthorized use
• Poor maintenance
Your lift truck is part of a material handling system that has

three parts:
• The operator
• The lift truck
• The workplace environment
Safe operation of your lift truck requires:
• Your knowledge, training, skill, and attitude

• Good lift truck maintenance
• A safe workplace with an appropriately configured lift
truck
Certain optional features enhance the operation of your lift

truck in special conditions.
See “Options” in the Owner Manual for more information.
Start-Up Safety
Do not operate this lift truck until you have checked all
systems with the Operator’s Daily Checklist. See pages 39-42.

immediately. Do not operate the lift truck until the condition is
corrected.
WARNING: Stay inside the operator

compartment to operate this lift truck.
Never place any part of your body
between the mast uprights or outside the
operator compartment while operating the
lift truck. Turn the key switch OFF ( O )
before getting off.
WARNING: Exception: If your lift

truck starts to tip or fall off a
dock or dockboard, get off the
truck immediately and move
quickly away. If the truck tips
over with you inside, you could
be seriously injured or killed.
Safety
Never carry passengers.
Lift people only with an approved work platform. A pallet is not

an approved work platform. See “ANSI/ITSDF B56.1
Provisions” on page 69 for details of the safety standard.
WARNING: Never let anyone

stand or walk under the fork
carriage.
Driving Safely
If you leave the lift truck unattended, fully lower the forks,
shut the power off, remove the key, and disconnect the
battery.
Use only one foot on the deadman pedal.
Start, stop, change direction, travel, and brake smoothly.
Always look where you are going. Keep a clear view.
Travel with the forks as low as possible for floor conditions.
Always travel with the reach carriage fully retracted.
When you cannot see around the load, drive with the load
behind. Always look where you are driving.
Drive at a speed that is safe for conditions.
Keep a safe distance from other lift trucks.
Keep to the right whenever possible.
Do not pass another lift truck going in the same direction at

intersections, blind spots, or other dangerous locations.
Obey all traffic rules. Yield the right of way to pedestrians.
Safety
Stop the lift truck and sound the horn when you approach
intersections or crosswalks, when you exit an aisle, or when
you cannot see clearly.
Always approach and leave aisles slowly.
Slow down for turns and for uneven, wet, or slippery surfaces
that could cause the lift truck to slide or tip.
Do not drive over objects on the floor.
Avoid striking objects overhead, like pipes, sprinkler heads,

ducts, lights, elevator gates, or overhead doors.
Keep the lift truck under control at all times.
Watch out for objects sticking out from racks, shelves, and
walls.
Pay attention to your operating environment.
WARNING: If you do not

operate your lift truck
safely, you could be
pinned or crushed by
objects entering the
operator compartment.
Safety
Pedestrians
Always keep pedestrians safe. Other people in your area or
facility might not know how this lift truck works.
Always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.
Sound the horn when you approach intersections or

crosswalks.
WARNING: Never drive this lift

truck up close to anyone,
especially someone standing
next to a solid object like a wall
or workbench.
Safety
Ramps
Drive slowly in a straight line up or down the ramp. Do not
turn or angle the lift truck; the lift truck could tip.
Lift the forks only enough to clear the ramp. If your lift truck
has fork tilt, tilt the load back as far as possible.
Travel up or down a ramp with the
load facing uphill.
When the lift truck is empty, travel

up or down a ramp with the forks
facing downhill.
Never park on a ramp. The lift truck could tip.
Safety
Dockboards
Make sure any movable dockboard is wide enough and strong
enough to carry the load. The load capacity must be marked
plainly. Before you drive on a dockboard, make sure it is
fastened securely to prevent slipping. The sides of the
dockboards should be high enough to prevent the lift truck
from running over the edge.
Make sure the dockboard has enough contact with the dock
and carrier to prevent rocking or sliding. The dockboard
should have hand holds, or other means, for safe handling.
Drive the lift truck slowly and smoothly. Do not jar the
dockboard out of position.
WARNING: If your lift truck

starts to tip or fall off a dock or
dockboard, get off the truck
immediately and move quickly
away. If the truck tips over with
you inside, you could be
seriously injured or killed.
Highway Trucks, Trailers, and

Railroad Cars
WARNING: Securely set the brakes and block the wheels
of highway trucks, trailers, and railroad cars before you
load or unload them. Check the highway truck/trailer/
railroad car doorway clearance. Make sure floors of
highway trucks, trailers, and railroad cars will support the
weight of the loaded lift truck. Cross railroad tracks only
at approved floor grade crossings. Do not park lift trucks
within 8 ft. (2.4 m) of railroad tracks.
Ask local railroad authorities which warning devices to use.
Safety
Elevators
Check with your supervisor before you use this lift truck in or
near an elevator.
Handling Loads Safely

Do not overload this lift truck. See the specification plate for
capacity.
Move only loads that are securely packaged. If your load shifts,
your lift truck could tip over.
Do not handle unstable, loosely stacked, or oversized loads.

Use extra care when handling long, high, or wide loads.
Check overhead clearance before lifting the forks.
Spread forks as far apart as the load permits. Center the load
before lifting. Push the forks completely under the load. Tilt
the load back as far as possible.
Avoid quick starts, stops, or turns that could shift the load or
tip the lift truck.
Avoid turns while the forks are elevated with a load.
Do not push loads around on the floor.
Safety
Stability
Your lift truck is designed to be steady and stable. Stability is
affected by:
• Lift truck weight and weight distribution

• Wheelbase
• Wheel tread width
• Method of suspension
• Tires
• Mast deflection
The lift truck’s specification plate lists maximum loads

permitted at various heights.
Lift trucks can tip or overturn. This can be caused by:
• Driving, braking, or turning too fast

• Careless load handling by operator
• Too much load weight and height
• Poor floor conditions
WARNING: If your lift truck

starts to tip or fall off a dock or
dockboard, get off the truck
immediately and move quickly
away. If the truck tips over
with you inside, you could be
seriously injured or killed.
Safety
Battery Safety
WARNING:
• Explosive hydrogen gas forms when a battery is

charging. An open flame or spark can cause this gas
to explode. Serious personal injury or property
damage could occur. This can happen even hours after
charging. Ventilate the area to eliminate this hazard.
• The battery contains sulfuric acid, which causes burns
to skin and clothing. If battery acid contacts your
clothing or skin, flush the area immediately with cold
water. If battery acid gets on your face or in your
eyes, flush the area with cold water immediately and
get medical attention.
Follow these precautions when working with or around lift

truck batteries:
• Read, understand, and obey instructions in the battery

and battery charger manufacturers’ manuals.
• Wear personal protective equipment for eyes, face, and
skin. This equipment includes goggles or face shield,
rubber gloves (with or without arm shields), and a rubber
apron. Make sure a shower and eye wash station are
nearby.
• Do not smoke, use open flames, or use devices that
produce sparks near charging batteries.
• The battery must not move more than 0.5 in. (13 mm)
side-to-side or front-to-back within the battery
compartment.
Safety
Warning Decals
Read and obey all warning decals on your lift truck. If you
have any questions about these warnings, ask your
supervisor.
If a decal is damaged or missing, report it to your supervisor.

Your local authorized Raymond Sales and Service Center will
replace it without charge.

Height/Tilt Indicator (Optional)
You must always use your own
judgment in determining fork height
and tilt. The optional Height Only
Indicator (HOI) or Height/Tilt
Indicator (HTI) is available. To help
you judge fork height and tilt at high
elevations (within ±3 in., 7.62 cm).
* The HTI Display on the mast guard
shows fork heights during main lift. The LED icon shows
whether forks are level or tilted.
Within the free lift zone (when forks elevate, but mast does
not), the HTI cannot display fork height; instead it displays
four underscores “_ _ _ _”. When the mast begins to elevate,
the HTI begins to display the height of the forks above the
floor. The display can show either inches or centimeters.
The tilt level icon illuminates when the forks are level
(±0.5 degrees). With the HTI option installed, forks cannot be
tilted more than 0.5 degrees below level.
If the optional Weight-Height Limit Display feature is installed,

the HTI display can show maximum permitted weight on the
forks for the height displayed. This is the same information
contained on the lift truck specification plate. See Weight-
Height Limit Display on page 58 for details.
If the optional Vertical Hold feature is installed, the HTI display

can show a scrollable list of pre-set rack heights. See Vertical
Hold on page 55 for details.
* On trucks equipped with the optional Vantage Point System,

HOI/HTI, WHLD, and Vertical Hold information are displayed
on the Vantage Point monitor.

Key Switch to OFF, then ON. The lift truck goes through a
regular SelfTest start-up.
Lift Truck Travel

Step on the deadman pedal with one
foot.
Move or twist the control handle in

the direction you want to go. The
farther you move the handle from
neutral, the faster the lift truck will
go. As the lift truck goes faster, the
more the speed ramp illuminates on
the Operator Display.
Drive at a speed that is safe for

conditions.
CAUTION: Always look

where you are going. If the
load blocks your view, drive
with the load behind.
Stop and sound the horn when

you approach intersections or
crosswalks and when you exit
an aisle.
To Steer
You can drive your lift truck either forks-first or tractor-first.
CAUTION: Your lift truck does not

steer like an automobile. When you
turn the lift truck steering wheel, the
tractor swings out. Make sure you
have enough room for the tractor to
swing when turning.
CAUTION: Your lift truck can be

set up to steer either in the
same direction or the opposite
direction when you turn the
steering wheel.
If you are not sure of the steering direction, begin driving in an

open area slowly until you are sure of the lift truck's direction
of travel.
See page 24 for more information.
Operator Compartment Sensor

System (OCSS) (Optional)
This truck can be equipped with an optional Operator
Compartment Sensor System.
The system consists of light sensors spanning the entry to the

operator compartment. The system functions as follows:
• When the key switch is turned ON at start up, the truck

will not travel if either light sensor is blocked or
interrupted while requesting travel. To reset the travel
function, the operator must remove the object blocking the
sensor and return the control handle to neutral.
• While traveling, the truck will decelerate to a stop if either
light sensor is blocked or interrupted. Once the sensor has
been blocked or interrupted, the truck will slow to a stop
even if the object blocking the sensor is removed. If the
beam remains blocked, the truck will then have limited
travel speed by moving the control handle through neutral.
To resume full travel once the truck comes to a stop, the
operator must remove the object blocking the sensor and
return the control handle to neutral.
• When the sensor is blocked or interrupted, an alarm will
sound and a message will be displayed on the Operator
Display.
To Slow Your Speed
Follow these steps to slow your

speed:
1. Move the control handle through

neutral to the direction opposite
your current travel. This action
is called “plugging.” The farther
you move the control, the faster
you slow down.
2. When the lift truck slows to the

desired speed, move the
control back through neutral
to the direction you are moving
and far enough to maintain
your speed.
CAUTION: Slow down for turns and for uneven, wet, or

slippery surfaces.
To Reverse Direction
Follow these steps to reverse direction:

your current travel. This action is
called “plugging.” The farther you
move the control, the faster you
slow down.
2. Hold the handle in this position

and the lift truck slows, stops, and
starts moving in the opposite
direction.
CAUTION: Stop the lift truck and sound the horn when
you approach intersections or crosswalks, when you exit
an aisle, or when you cannot see clearly.
To Stop the Lift Truck (Normal
Operation)
Follow these steps to stop the lift truck
normally:

your current travel. This action is
called “plugging.” The farther you
move the control, the faster you
slow down.
2. When the lift truck stops, release

the control handle and lift your foot
off the deadman pedal. Releasing
the deadman pedal disables travel
and applies the parking brake.To
Stop the Lift Truck (Emergency)
To stop the lift truck in an emergency,

lift your foot off the deadman pedal
immediately. This stops the lift truck in
the shortest possible distance.
To Enter an Aisle
Follow these steps to enter an aisle:
1. Approach the aisle at a

90-degree angle and about
6 inches (152 mm) from the near
edge.
2. Start to turn the steering wheel
when the load wheels start to
enter the intersection. Pivot the
lift truck on the load wheel on
the inside of the turn.
3. When the lift truck is half-way
through its turn, begin returning
the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
4. When the lift truck is in line with the aisle entrance, enter
the aisle.
To Pick Up a Pallet
WARNING:
• Move only loads that are securely packaged. If your
load shifts, your lift truck could tip over.
• Do not overload this lift truck. See the specification
plate for capacity.
Follow these steps to pick up a pallet:
1. Spread forks as far apart as the

load permits.
2. Approach the pallet with the
nearest baseleg at a 90 degree
angle and about 6 inches
(152 mm) out in the aisle.
3. When you are in line with the
rack, adjust the forks to the
correct height for the pallet.
4. When the load wheels reach the
edge of the pallet, turn the
steering wheel. Swing the rear
of the lift truck out into the aisle until the lift truck
squarely faces the pallet.
5. Extend the forks until they enter the pallet completely.
Center the load (use sideshift if your truck has sideshift)
before lifting.
6. Lift the pallet just enough to clear the floor and load
wheels, or the rack, or load beneath.
7. Retract the load. If your lift truck has fork tilt, tilt the load
back as far as possible.
8. Carefully swing the rear of the lift truck back 90 degrees
to the rack.
9. Lower the load as far as safely possible before you travel.
L
WARNING: Never let anyone
stand or walk under the fork
carriage.
CAUTION:
• Avoid turns while the forks are elevated with a load.

• Avoid quick starts, stops, or turns that could shift the
load or tip the lift truck.
• Obey all the rules under “Handling Loads Safely” on
page 9
Vantage Point ™ System
The optional Vantage Point ™
System is a closed-circuit video
monitor system to provide
additional assistance to you
when performing pallet storage
and retrieval tasks in high-lift
applications. This will help you
place and pick pallets at high
elevations. The monitor also
displays Height Only Indicator
(HOI)/Height Tilt Indicator
(HTI), Weight-Height Limit
Display (WHLD), and Vertical Hold Information.
The monitor shows the view from the carriage-mounted

camera whenever travel speed is below 2.5 mph. A green
reference line provides fork tip position. Do not use the Vantage
Point System while traveling.
To Adjust the System

An automatic brightness function adjusts the camera for
changing lighting levels in your work area. You can also
manually adjust the brightness, contrast, and color intensity.

this range, the camera LED and Button1 LED will blink. If this
happens, move the lift truck to a place within the normal
operating temperature range of the Vantage Point ™ System
and allow the equipment to adjust in temperature.
Vertical Hold
If your lift truck is equipped with the Vertical Hold option and
the Nested Switch Option, you can select a preset lift height
and let the lift truck lift and stop automatically near that
height. You will need to finely adjust, by lifting or lowering, to
attain the precise height you intend.
NOTE: On trucks equipped with the optional Vantage Point

System, Vertical Hold information is displayed on the
Vantage Point monitor.
CAUTION: The Vertical Hold Option is not a substitute for

operator attention. You must remain alert and in control
of your truck at all times.
To lift to a preset height:

• Retract the fork carriage completely.
and
• Momentarily press both the REACH and RETRACT

buttons at the same time. The HOI/HTI Display shows the
first of a list of labeled preset heights. The display shows a
1-, 2-, or 3-character label, an arrow, and a height. The
arrow shows which direction the forks must travel to reach
that height. The height is the net distance of that preset
height above or below the current fork height. Height is
shown as inches or centimeters on the HOI/HTI display,
depending on the units selected in the truck’s
configuration menu.
NOTE: Vertical Hold only lifts to programmed heights. Vertical
Hold does not lower to programmed heights.
• The first height shown is the

last height previously selected.
This makes it easier to lift
loads repeatedly to the same
height.
• Use the REACH and RETRACT
button to scroll through the list. If you
hold the REACH and RETRACT
button down, the list will scroll faster.
or
• When you display the height you want,

rotate and hold the LIFT/LOWER
knob to the right to request lift. The
carriage will lift. (If you do not request
lift within 30 seconds, the truck will
exit preset height selection mode.) The
destination height flashes on the HTI
display until the carriage passes free
lift transition.
• When the carriage lifts past
the free lift transition, the
display stops flashing and
shows how far the carriage
must lift or lower to reach the
destination height.
• The carriage slows down and

stops at the selected height.
• Use the LIFT/LOWER control
to align the forks with the
rack location.
• Use the REACH and
RETRACT buttons to place
the load precisely.
• When you fully retract the fork carriage, the HOI/HTI
display again shows the list of preset height selections,
starting with the last selected height.
• To exit height selection mode, you must either:
• Reach then retract to the nested position, then,
simultaneously press the REACH and RETRACT
buttons.
• Lift or lower more than 10 inches (25.4 cm).
• Wait 60 seconds.
Weight-Height Limit Display Option

about maximum load capacity at the current height on the
* Height-Tilt Indicator (HTI) display. The information is the
same information presented on the truck specification plate.

WHLD information is displayed on the Vantage Point monitor.
CAUTION: The Weight-Height Limit Display option is not

a substitute for operator attention. You must operate
within stated weight and height limits of your lift truck at
all times.
Below free-lift transition height,

WHLD displays the maximum
weight limit. No height is
displayed.
Above free-lift transition height,

WHLD displays the height and
weight limit applicable at that
height.
As the truck lifts higher, the next

(lower) weight limit is displayed.
CAUTION: While WHLD does display current actual

height, it does not display actual weight on the forks.
Use the main Operator Display to monitor actual weight
on forks.
WHLD Formats

Modes of Operation
This lift truck has two modes of operation: Run Mode and
Program Mode. Run Mode is the normal operating mode for
the lift truck. Program Mode permits configuration,
calibration, and diagnostic testing (service).
Run Mode
When you power on the lift truck normally, the on-board
firmware does a number of internal SelfTests and enters the
normal operating mode (Run Mode). In Run Mode, date, time,
Battery State-of-Charge, weight on forks, and ambient
temperature (optional) can be viewed on the Operator Display.
The lift truck also enters Run Mode when Program Mode is
exited.
Program Mode
Use Program Mode for configuration and calibration of the lift
truck. You need a password in order to enter Program Mode.
See "Password" on page 8.
Program Mode is divided into several categories:
• Serial Number - Operator Display shows the lift truck

serial number.
• Version - Operator Display shows software versions
installed in the lift truck.
• Hour Meters - for description and alternate method of
displaying hour meters, see "Hour Meters and Total
Distance Indicator" on page 33.
• Configure Mode - see "Configure Mode" on page 12.
Security Information
Password
Models 7500 and 7520 Reach-Fork and Deep-Reach lift trucks
come with a password as standard equipment. The password
permits the owner and/or operator to configure each vehicle
for specific performance characteristics. You can program the
password through the Configure Mode. See "Configure Mode"
on page 12.
Your local authorized Raymond Sales and Service Center can

instruct you if you need help in using and changing your
password.
Your password may be from one to eight characters in length,

with any combination of letters, numbers, and/or spaces
(indicated by an underscore _ ). A password of all spaces is not

3. Once you select the character position, use the UP/DOWN
buttons to select the number, letter, or space you want.
The character set wraps between “0” and “_“(space). In
