6. Anytime the lift truck is moving
keep arms, legs, etc., inside the
operator's compartment. Arms and
legs outside the machine can be
injured when passing obstructions.
7. Avoid bumps, holes, mud, slick
spots, and loose materials that
may cause the lift truck to swerve
or tip. If unavoida-
ble, slow down.
Different models of
lift trucks are
designed to operate
under different con-
ditions. Solid rubber
tire models are
designed to operate
on relatively smooth,
firm surfaces. Lift
trucks with pneumatic tires can adapt to more uneven
ground. Always make sure you pick the smoothest route for
your lift truck.
8. Watch clearances, especially forks, mast, overhead
guard, and tail swing. A lift truck is designed to perform a
wide variety of functions within limited space.
The operator must be aware that the forks can sometimes
extend beyond the front of the load. If the forks extend
beyond the load, the operator can hit an object or lift
another load. Serious accidents can be caused by mast
and overhead guards hitting pipes and beams near the ceil-
ing.
