Be a Safe Driver 32
DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY, BE ALERT
• Always wear your harness and have the lanyard
fastened. See page 7 for Harness and
Lanyard information.
• Make certain pallets and fork mounted platforms are
secure.
• Never stick a foot, arm or any part of your body
outside the operator area, no matter how slow the
truck is moving. A foot or hand caught between the
truck and a fixed object will be crushed or even
cut off.
• Keep your hands on the controls and your foot on the
brake pedal.
• Travel in the direction that gives you the best view.
Look where you are going and slow down in
congested areas.
• Slow down for wet or slippery floors. Don't run
over things.
• Travel with the platform close to the ground when
outside of an aisle. Place the load against the end of
the platform.
• Look where you are going before you change
direction of travel.
• See that you have room to drive and turn. Check for
overhead objects also. Watch out for power unit and
fork (load) swing. Slow down when making turns.
• Avoid sudden movement of controls. Learn to use
them smoothly at a moderate, even rate.
• Check clearances before raising or lowering the forks
or load. Watch for overhead obstructions.
• Be extra careful if you must use your truck in an area
where there is a risk of falling objects.
