Big Joe CB22 - FOREWORD

1
FOREWORD
As a lift truck operator, you are respon-
sible for a machine that is useful, pow-
erful, and can be hazardous if not
operated as described. Your Big Joe
truck may weigh more than some cars,
depending on the model. Observing
and practicing the safety warnings in
this manual cannot be overempha-
sized. Just knowing the warnings, how-
ever, is no substitute for common
sense. Using your common sense will,
in almost all cases, prevent accidents.
Think of the truck as your own. In this
way you will learn its capabilities and
limitations.
This manual is intended to remain with
the truck at all times as a handy refer-
ence guide to operation. Detailed main-
tenance procedures are found in the
parts and service manual for the spe-
cific truck model, and are to be per-
formed only by a qualified technician.
For further information on obtaining a
complete parts and service manual, see
page 25 of this manual.
The operator who knows his truck will
learn to spot problems as they develop.
This is accomplished by performing the
Daily Checks and reporting any prob-
lems to the designated authority.
