Operator Safety Warning Decal
Safety and warning decals are placed in conspicuous
locations on the truck to remind you of essential pro-
cedures or to prevent you from making an error that
could damage the truck or possibly cause personal
injury. You should know, understand, and follow these
instructions. Safety and warning decals should be
replaced immediately if missing or defaced (damage or
illegible). Refer to your Service Manual for location of
all decals.
Operator/Tip-Over
This decal is located on the front right hand leg of the
drivers overhead guard. It is to remind the operator that
staying in the seat provides the best chance of avoiding
injury in the event of a tip-over or off the dock mishap.
Lift trucks can be tipped over if operated improperly.
Analysis of 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. So, please, always buckle up
when driving your lift truck. (see page 1-13)
