Always
be in
full control
of
your lift truck...
Never
operate
a
lift
truck
or its
attachments
to
perform
any of its
functions
if you are not in the
designated operator's position.
Never
operate
a
lift
truck when your hands
are wet or
greasy.
Always
pick
the
smoothest travel route
for
your
lift
truck. Avoid bumps,
holes, slick spots,
and
loose objects
or
debris
in
your path that
may
cause
the
truck
to
swerve
or
tip.
If
these conditions
are
unavoidable,
slow
down
and
carefully drive past them. Slow down
for wet or
slippery
surfaces.
Avoid
any
sudden movement.
Start,
stop, travel,
steer,
and
brake
smoothly.
Operate your lift truck
under
all
conditions
at a
speed that
will
permit
it
to be
brought safely
to a
stop.
A
WARNING
Travel slowly when turning.
Use
special care when travel-
ing
without
a
load because
the
risk
of
tipping over
can be
greater with
an
empty truck, especially
at
high
speed
and
when cornering
or
traveling
in
reverse.
Travel
with
the
forks tilted back
and
raised only enough
to
fully clear
the
ground
or
obstacles. When
the
carriage (load)
is in an
elevated
position
the
stability
of the
truck
is
reduced.
Do
not
elevate
the
load
except
during stacking.
/!\N
Operate your
lift
truck only in areas that have been ap-
proved
for
your
lift
truck type designation. Certain areas
contain flammable gases, liquids, dust, fibers,
or
other
hazardous materials. Lift truck operations
in
these areas
must have special approval. These areas must
be
desig-
nated
to
show
the
type
of
lift
truck approval required
for
operation
in the
area.
Be
aware that changes
to
special
equipment
or
poor
maintenance
can
cause
the
lift truck
to
lose
its
special approval.
Be
sure that your truck
is the
correct
fire
safety type
for the
area
in
which
you are
working.
The
proper type
designa-
tion
for
this truck
is
listed
on the
nameplate.
In
areas
classified
as
hazardous,
use
only trucks approved
for use
in
those
areas.
If you are
unsure
of the
classification
of the
area
you
wish
to
enter, check before entering.
