If the lift truck must travel in a direction where visibility is
obstructed, a lookout helper may be required.
4.
When traveling up or down a grade with a heavily loaded
lift truck, keep the load upgrade to maintain control. When
operating an unloaded lift truck on a steep grade, keep the
battery and counterweight upgrade.
5.
Watch out for pedestrians at all times. Do not drive up
close to anyone standing in front of an object. Use extra
care at cross aisles, doorways, and other locations where
pedestrians can step into the path of travel of the lift truck.
Slow down when approaching blind
intersections or turns. Sound the horn to
warn pedestrians that there is a vehicle
in the area and to be alert to possible
danger.
6.
Anytime the lift truck is moving,
keep arms, legs, etc., inside the
operator's compartment. Arms and
legs outside the machine can be
injured when passing obstructions.
7.
Avoid bumps,
holes, slick spots,
and loose materials
that may cause the
lift truck to swerve or
tip. If unavoidable,
slow down.
WARNING
Serious accidents can be caused by mast and over-
head guards hitting pipes and beams near the ceiling.
