11. SAFE TRAVEL
2-9
FORKLIFT TRUCKS ARE ONE-PERSON MACHINES
• Do not allow any other person to ride on
the truck under any circumstances.
• Never allow anyone to act as an extra
counterweight.
NO RIDERS
When driving in REVERSE, turn to face the rear and check the area
directly behind the lift truck.
DRIVING IN REVERSE
The LP gas cylinder may partially block the view to the rear, so extra care is required to minimize the potential
danger of hitting personnel, products or buildings in the surrounding area. Always turn to face the rear to
check directly behind the lift truck when driving in reverse direction. If appropriate for your environment, you
should consider installing backup warning devices (backup buzzer, rotating backup lamp, etc.) or backup
confirmation devices (rear view mirror, etc.) to warn personnel in the surrounding area and to confirm that the
area to the rear is safe.
