11. SAFE TRAVEL
2-10
• If the view to the front is obstructed by the load, turn to the rear and
drive the forklift truck in reverse.
• When driving in reverse with a high load, use a signal person to
ensure the safety of the load and the safety in the surrounding
area.
WHEN FRONT VIEW IS POOR
• When checking the lift truck before starting, follow the procedure given in this Manual, and do not start the
lift truck until all the checks have been completed.
• If anything abnormal is found, inform the person in charge and carry out the necessary repairs.
CHECK BEFORE STARTING
Check that the lamps light up correctly. Replace any broken or inoperative bulbs.
LAMPS
Do not drive the lift truck if your hands are wet or covered with oil. Your hands will slip on the work equipment
control levers or directional lever, and this may cause a serious accident.
KEEP HANDS FREE FROM OIL AND WATER
• NEVER jump on or off the lift truck.
• When getting on or off the lift truck, always stop the lift truck and use the
handrails and steps to ensure that you support yourself.
• Never hold any control levers or the steering wheel when getting on or off the
lift truck.
• If there is any oil, grease or mud on the handrails or steps, wipe it off
immediately. Always keep these parts clean. Repair any damage.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
When traveling on slopes or in confined areas, unloaded lift trucks should always give the right of way to
loaded trucks.
