Narrow Aisle Limited

 will not assume any liability for 

injuries  or  damage  arising  from  or  caused  by  the 
removal  of  any  safety  devices  from  their  vehicles  by 
the user. 
 
Fork lift trucks must only be operated by fully trained, 
qualified and authorised operators. 
 
Ensure that the truck is suitable for the area in which 
it is to be operated. 
 
Do  not  allow  anyone  to  walk  or  stand  beneath 
elevated forks. 
 
Do  not  exceed  displayed  load  capacity  of  the  truck.  
In no circumstances should counterweights be added 
to increase capacity. 
 
If  the  hoist  mechanism  malfunctions  or  becomes 
stuck  in  a  raised  position,  operate  the  hoist  control 
lever  to  eliminate  any  slack  in  the  chains.    DO  NOT 
go under the elevated parts of the truck to attempt to 
carry out repairs. 

 WARNING 

Never lower the hoist mechanism with the load or 
forks supported by other means. 

Safe Driving 

Before  moving  off,  look  around  and  when  clear, 
commence  driving  without  causing  inconvenience  to 
other  truck  operators.    Remember  that  pedestrians 
have  right  of  way  and  must  be  safeguarded  at  all 
times. 
 
Operate  truck  smoothly  without  erratic  movements 
avoiding fast turns. 
 
Regulate  the  speed  of  the  truck  to  conform  with 
prevailing  conditions.    Ensure  that  the  truck  can  be 
brought to a halt safely. 
 
Maintain  a  safe  driving  distance  from  other  vehicles.  
Always  give  clear  indication  of  your  intentions  to 
other people. 
 
Do not carry passengers. 
 
When  approaching  crossings  and  areas  where 
driving vision is restricted or obscured, reduce speed 
to a minimum and sound the horn - a series of short 
blasts is more effective than one long blast. 
 
Always travel with forks and mast in correct travelling 
position,  i.e.  mast  fully  tilted  back  and  the  lowest 
point  of  the  forks  or  load  approximately  150mm 
above the ground. 
 

Do  not  overtake  at  aisle  intersections,  in  areas  of 
limited visibility or in dangerous locations. 
 
Maintain  a  safe  distance  from  railway  lines,  ramps, 
platforms, dock edges, etc. 
 
Cross  railway  lines  slowly,  only  at  authorised  points 
and diagonally whenever possible. 
 
Be  conscious  of  height  and  width  restrictions  and 
watch  for  sudden  appearance  of  pedestrians  from 
behind obstacles. 
 
Do not carry unsafe or insecure loads. 

 WARNING 

Keep  arms,  hands,  head  and  legs  within  the 
operator's  compartment  when  the  truck  is  in 
motion. 

 WARNING 

Do  not  place  arms,  hands,  head  or  legs  between 
mast  uprights  and  cross  members  or  any  other 
working parts of the truck.
