“ON - OFF” switch is turned on.
Start, turn and brake smoothly. Slow down for turns,
slippery or uneven surfaces. Extremely poor
surfaces should be repaired. Avoid running over
loose objects or holes in the roadway surfaces. Use
extreme caution when turning on inclines.
Travel with load as low as possible and tilted back.
If load interferes with visibility, travel with load
trailing.
On grade operations travel with load up grade.
Watch out for pedestrians and obstructions. Check
overhead clearances.
Do not permit riders on forks or machine at any
time.

load.
Use extreme care when handling long, high or wide
loads to ensure stability and durability of the truck.
Forks should be completely under load and spread
apart as far as load permits.
