Figure 4-25: Backing Away from the Load
12. When the front right fork clears the rack, stop
backing and turn the steering wheel to straighten out
the forks so they are parallel with the body of the
truck. Item 1 - See Figure 4-25.
13. Lower the forks until they are 4 in. to 6 in. off the
ground and slowly drive the truck to the next location
observing the safety rules previously stated.
Fire Extinguisher Option
If your truck includes a fire extinguisher it should be
inspected monthly or more frequently if circumstances
dictate. The extinguisher should be checked to see that:
• it is not damaged
• the discharge outlet is not blocked
• it is fully charged
• the seal is not broken
• the instruction pamphlet is clearly visible
IMPORTANT
Dry-powder extinguishers are shipped fully charged.
Do not experiment with your extinguisher since even
a small amount of discharge could cause it to slowly
lose the rest of its pressure, rendering the
extinguisher useless.
In Case of a Fire!
