Safety Decals
Seat Belt Warning Decal
This safety decal is placed on each
side of the operator's seat arms to re-
mind you to always wear your seat belt
when driving a lift truck. To help in call-
ing your attention to this important
safety item, a seat belt warning light
and a buzzer alarm are connected with
the ignition key switch.
Lift trucks can be tipped over if
operated improperly. Experience with
lift truck accidents has shown that the
driver cannot react quickly enough to
jump clear of the truck and overhead
guard as the truck tips. To protect
operators from severe injury or death in
the event of a tip-over, it is best to be
held securely in the seat. The sides on
the seat help to keep your body and
arms safely within the confines of the
truck and overhead guard.
So, please, always buckle up when driv-
ing your lift truck.
Seat Deck Opening Decal
This safety decal describes the pro-
cedure for unlatching and opening the
seat deck. The seat deck must be lock-
ed down to make the seat belt effec-
tive. Make sure that the seat deck is
securely locked in place before
operating the truck.
