Take the lift truck to a service technician immediately for
repair if it experiences a decrease in performance.
Operating Techniques
WARNING
Before operating the lift truck,
FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT.
There are a number of operations,
if not performed carefully, that
can cause the lift truck to tip. If you have not read the
WARNING page in the front of this Operating Manual,
do so NOW. As you study the following information
about how to properly operate a lift truck, remember
the WARNINGS.
NOTE:
When the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seat
belt is properly buckled across the operator, the belt will
permit slight operator repositioning without activating the
locking mechanism. If the truck tips, travels off a dock, or
comes to a sudden stop, the locking mechanism will be
activated and hold the operator's lower torso in the seat.
Basic Operating Procedures
Many people make the mistake of thinking that operating a
lift truck is the same as driving an automobile. This is not
true. A lift truck is a special machine designed to do a much
different job than an automobile. Because of the close
areas in which a lift truck operates and its other operating
characteristics (like rear wheel steering and tail swing),
every operator must receive additional training, even if they
have a license to drive an automobile.
The following discussion lists basic procedures applicable
to lift truck operation.

AUTHORIZED AND TRAINED
OPERATOR ONLY. This means
the operator must be trained (see
29 CFR 1910.178 section I) to
drive the lift truck and it means that
the operator must thoroughly
understand the procedures for lift
truck operation. It also means that a qualified person expe-
rienced in lift truck operation must guide the operator
through several driving and load handling operations before
the operator attempts to operate the lift truck alone. A basic
education in proper driving and load handling techniques is
