А Back down and drive up on a slope
• Do not make turns on a gradient. There is danger of the truck
upsetting.
* Keep the forks and pallet at an appropriate ground clearance
height.
* When operating an unloaded truck on grades, have the rear end
of your truck pointed up-hill.
• When operating a loaded truck on grades, have the rear end of
your truck pointed down-hill.
* When descending a grade, use the foot and regenerative brakes
properly.
* When descending a grade, never turn the key switch off.

There is a fear of the edge of a soft ground collapsing. Stay away
from such a place. Keep appropriate distance from the edge of a
narrow road or a platform.
TRAVELING
AX When driving over a dockboard
Do not ride on the edge of the dockboard or bridgeplates;
otherwise the truck might fall down, leading to personal injury or
even death.
Before driving over a dockboard or bridgeplate, make sure it is
properly secured. Never exceed its rated capacity. Do not use
a damaged dockboard or bridgeplate.
Have the brakes set and wheels blocks in place to prevent the
trailer from moving.
Jacks must be installed to
support the trailer when the
truck goes into the trailer.
Drive carefully and slowly across the dockboard or bridgeplate.
Watch for bystanders.
Give instructions to the trailer driver not to move the trailer until
load handling is finished.
Make sure the dockboard or bridgeplate is secured.
