REMEMBER
It only takes one unsafe act to cause an accident. Use these
safety rules, your employer's safety rules and follow your
employer's instructions to develop safe working habits.
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST SAFETY
DEVICE THERE IS!
Remember these rules when traveling:
• Pull out of your space slowly, making sure your load is fol-
lowing properly if you have a trailer attached.
• Look in all directions as you pull out of a blind area.
• No passengers on or in Trailer Jockey.
• Go slow in congested areas, over rough ground and on
slopes. Keep your speed slow enough so you are in com-
plete control at all times.
• Give loaded vehicles the right of way. Follow your
employer's traffic rules on the job. Watch out for other
vehicles.
• Do not make sudden maneuvers with elevated trailer.
• Avoid crossing obstacles such as ridges, curbs, lumber,
railroad tracks and chocks.
Before backing up, check that area behind vehicle is clear of
people, animals and objects. Use a spotter whenever possible
and always keep that person in sight. Failure to do so may
result in severe personal injury, death or property damage.
Don't back into an area in which you cannot see. Get an
experienced assistant to guide you if you can't see.
Never descend a grade faster than the Trailer Jockey and load
could climb that same grade.
