Know the Hazards
WHEN OPERATING OUTDOORS
• Slow down when traveling on slippery roads or
slippery surfaces.
• Avoid traveling in areas which are flooded or where
there are bumps, holes, or loose material that can
cause the truck to tip or swerve.
• Do not drive your truck on soft ground.
• Stay away from curbs, rails, ditches or other
obstacles.
• Do not drive on road shoulders. They can be soft and
may collapse.
• When entering buildings, be careful not to exceed
floor weight limits.
USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY
• Keep your hands and feet away from all moving parts
such as masts, chains or wheels. Make sure the load
backrest is in place, when required.
• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone
else to stand on or under them. The only way to lift
people is with an approved platform.
Never allow passengers on the truck. There is no safe
place for them.
• Before you leave your truck:
• Come to a complete stop, lower forks to the floor and
shut the truck off.
• Place the direction control in neutral and apply the
parking brake. Chock wheels if on an incline.
