Prepare For Safe Operation
Know The Work Area
Before you operate the rough terrain forklift truck, learn
as much as possible about the work area. Walk around
the worksite and inspect the surface travel conditions.
Locate and avoid:
— Holes
— Drop-offs
— Obstacles
— Excavations
— Standing water
— Deep mud
— Wet spots
— Soft soil
— Rough spots
Correct unsafe conditions. Avoid operating in problem
areas that cannot be corrected.
Check for weak spots when operating on docks,
bridges, ramps or fl oors. Clear away trash and debris.
Pick up anything that could puncture a tire. Know the
truck’s fully loaded ground pressure weight if required
by conditions.

Know The Work Area (continued)
WARNING!
Avoid possible injury. The weight of the
machine may cause the ground, bridge deck, ramp or
fl oor to give way causing loss of control, fall or tipover.
Know weight limits and stay clear of the edges of
excavations or drop-offs.
Failure to know and observe
weight limits and use caution could result in death or
serious injury.
Plan travel routes for inside work in order to see and
protect bystanders.
Check for overhead obstructions. Check the clearances
of doorways, canopies and overheads. Know exactly
how much clearance you have under power and
telephone cables.
Maintain minimum safe distance from power lines
and apparatus. If possible, have power to lines
disconnected. If this is not possible, request a signal
person to guide you while you work around power lines.
When working near power lines, always assume
conductors are energized. A machine working near ener-
gized conductors must always be considered energized.
DANGER!
Avoid electrocution or serious injury.
Do not
allow the load or any part of machine to approach or
contact energized power lines or apparatus.
Death
or serious injury will result from contact or inadequate
clearance to energized power lines or apparatus.
