DO NOT allow any riders!
DO NOT allow anyone to ride on the forks or
on any other part of the lift truck—at any time.

Stay away from slippery surfaces!
– Loose or slippery materials such as sand,
gravel, ice, mud, etc., on your operating
surfaces could cause a skid or tipover.
Avoid these conditions or slow down.
– Keep your operating surfaces clean and dry
at all times. Wet spots could cause a skid or
tipover.
– You need greater stopping distance on wet
surfaces. Apply brakes earlier on slippery
surfaces than on dry surfaces.
– Do not drive into a flooded area whenever
possible.
