Start Safely
Mount And Dismount Properly
When you enter or leave the rough terrain forklift truck:
— Maintain a three-point hand/foot contact with the
machine. Three-point contact is defi ned as using one
hand and two feet or two hands and one foot at any
single time. Face the machine when either mounting
or dismounting.
— Use handholds, handrails, ladders or steps (as
provided).
— Never mount or enter the truck by passing under
raised equipment unless the equipment or boom are
supported by manufacturer approved support(s).
— Never use control levers or steering wheel as
handholds.
— Never step on foot controls when entering or leaving.
— Clean your boots and wipe your hands before
mounting or dismounting.
— Never jump on or off the machine unless specifi cally
instructed by an electrical contact emergency
procedure.
— Never attempt to mount or dismount a moving
machine.
— Never mount or dismount while carrying tools or
objects that prevent three-point contact. Put parts or
tools down. Maintaining proper contact, climb and
then pick up the object. If necessary, rig a line and
lift items.

Start Safely
Start The Machine
Look Out For Others
Before starting, walk completely around the truck
operating area including the machine’s tools and
attachments. Make sure no one is under it, on it or
close to it. Sound the horn and let other workers and
bystanders know you are starting the engine. Don’t start
up until everyone is clear of the operating area.
Starting The Engine
Do not start the engine or move any of the controls if
there is a “DO NOT OPERATE” or similar warning tag
attached to the start switch or controls. Check with your
supervisor.
WARNING! Start the engine only from the
manufacturer’s recommended operating position.
Never attempt to start the engine by shorting across
starter terminals or reaching for the key from the
ground or outside the cab.
The machine may start in
gear if neutral-start circuitry is bypassed. This could
cause the machine to move suddenly and cause serious
injury or death.
