SUMMARY
OF
SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.
Do not
operate this truck unless
you
have
been trained
and
authorized
to do so.
Read
all
warnings
and
instructions
in
operator's manuals
and on
this truck.
2.
Do not
operate this truck until
you
have
checked
its
condition.
Give
special atten-
tion
to
Tires, Horn, Lights, Battery, Con-
troller, Lift
and
Tilt Systems including forks
and
attachments, chains, cable
and
limit
switches, brakes, steering mechanism, fuel
system,
and
guards.
3.
Operate truck only from designated
operating position.
Never
place
any
part
of
your
body into
the
mast structure, between
the
mast
and the
truck,
or
outside
the
truck.
Do
not
carry passengers.
4.
Do not
operate truck without overhead
guard, unless conditions prevent
use of a
guard.
Use
special care
if
operation without
overhead guard
is
required.
5.
Do not
handle loads which
are
higher
than
the
load backrest
or
load backrest
ex-
tension unless load
is
secured
so
that
no
part
of it
could fall backward.
6.
Do not
handle unstable
or
loosely
stack-
ed
loads.
Use
special care when handling
long,
high
or
wide loads
to
avoid losing
the
load,
striking
bystanders,
or
tipping
the
truck.
7.
Do not
overload truck. Check capacity
plate
for
load weight
and
load center infor-
mation.
8.
Lift trucks will
tip
over
if not
properly
operated. Start, stop, travel, steer
and
brake
smoothly. Slow down
for
turns
and on
uneven
or
slippery surfaces that could
cause
truck
to
slide
or
overturn.
Use
special
care when traveling without load
as the
risk
of
overturn
is
greater.
9.
Elevate forks
or
other lifting mechanism
only
to
pick
up or
stack
a
load. Lift
and
lower
with mast vertical
or
tilted slightly
back
—
NEVER
FORWARD.
Watch
out for
obstructions, especially overhead.
10.
Operate
tilting
mechanism slowly
and
smoothly.
Do not
tilt
forward when elevated
except
to
pick
up or
deposit
a
load. When
stacking,
use
only enough backward
tilt
to
stabilize
load.
11.
Travel with load
or
lifting
mechanism
as
low
as
possible
and
tilted back. Always look
in
direction
of
travel. Keep
a
clear
view
and
when
load interferes with
visibility,
travel
with load
or
lifting
mechanism
trailing
(ex-
cept
when
climbing
ramps).
12.
Use
special care when
operating
on
ramps
—
travel slowly,
and do not
angle
or
turn. When truck
is
loaded,
travel
with
load
uphill.
When truck
is
empty, travel with lift-
ing
mechanism
downhill.
13.
Observe applicable traffic
regulations.
Yield
right-of-way
to
pedestrians. Slow
down
and
sound horn
at
cross aisles
and
wherever
vision
is
obstructed.
14.
When
using
forks, space
forks
as far
apart
as
load
will
permit. Before
lifting,
be
sure
load
is
centered
and
forks
are
com-
pletely under load.
15.
Do not
allow anyone
to
stand
or
pass
under load
or
lifting
mechanism.
16.
Do not
lift personnel
on the
forks
or on
a
work platform.
Use a
manlift
specifically
designed
for
this
purpose. When
operating
rider order selector trucks, attach
the
safety
chain
to the
overhead guard
and put the
safety
belt
on.
17.
Before getting
off
truck,
neutralize
travel
control, fully lower
lifting
mechanism
and
set
parking brake. When leaving
truck
unattended, also shut
off
power.
