Starting from a Safe Condition
Keep all other persons clear of the load and upright mechanism while
attempting to handle a load.
No riders...
Do not carry passengers. The operator is the only one who should
be on the truck.
Always be in full control of your lift truck...
Never operate a lift truck or its attachments if you are not in the
designated operator's position.
Never operate a lift truck when your hands are wet or greasy.
Always pick the smoothest travel route for your lift truck. Avoid
bumps, holes, slick spots, and loose objects or debris in your path
that may cause the truck to swerve or tip. If these conditions are
unavoidable, slow down and carefully drive past them. Slow down
for wet or slippery surfaces.
Avoid any sudden movement. Start, stop, travel, steer, and brake
smoothly.
Operate your lift truck under all conditions at a speed that will permit
it to be brought safely to a stop.
WARNING
!
Travel slowly when turning. Use special care when
traveling without a load because the risk of tipping over is
greater with an empty truck, especially at high speed and
when cornering.
Travel with the fork carriage tilted back and raised only enough to
fully clear the ground or obstacles. When the carriage (load) is
elevated, the stability of the truck is reduced.
Do not elevate the load except during stacking.
