DESIGNATE A REPAIR AND ASSEMBLY
SUPERVISOR
Repairs and the mounting and dismounting of attachments must
be performed under the direction of a designated supervisor. The
body and major parts of the lift truck are quite heavy and under
very high pressure. Repair or assembly work undertaken without
careful and thorough preparation can lead to serious injury.
■
TRANSPORTING THE LIFT TRUCK
Use a level, hard road surface when loading the truck onto or
unloading from a trailer and when unloading it. Be certain that the
ramps have sufcient length and width as well as strength. Do not
load or unload the truck when it is raining, unless the ramps are
tted with an anti-slipping surfaces.
It is safest to use a self-loading trailer truck equipped with a jack
and winch. For loading, tilt the pallet with the jack, attach the
winch to the towing pin of the lift truck, and pull it up. The operator
must not ride on the lift truck during loading or unloading.
