AVOID FALLS AND TIPOVERS

Tipovers are very serious accidents. You can be crushed or even killed by the falling truck if you try to jump clear. Keep your seatbelt fastened, grip the steering wheel tightly, brace your feet, and lean away from the direction of fall. The best way to prevent injury is to know where you are at all times and follow the rules of safe truck operation.

• Use forward tilt only when you have the load in a rack, over a stack or close to the ﬂ oor.

• Travel with the load or forks close to the ground and mast tilted back. Watch for overhead obstructions. Perform all truck movements smoothly and at a speed that will give you time to react in an emergency.

• An unloaded truck can tip over also. Be just as careful using an unloaded truck as you are a loaded one.
