Stay clear of all
moving parts.

Moving parts can
cut or crush hands,
feet, arms or legs.

WARNING

AVOID FALLS AND TIPOVERS

Tipovers are very serious accidents, you can be
crushed or even killed. The best way to prevent injury
is to know where you are at all times and follow the
rules of safe truck operation. There is no sure way to
avoid injury during a tipover or a drop from a dock.

• Be careful if driving around docks or ramps. Stay
away from the edge. Watch where you're going.

• When traveling out of the aisle, keep the forks or
load close to the ground. Watch for overhead
obstructions. Perform all truck movements smoothly
and at a speed that will give you time to react in
an emergency.

• Turret Stockpickers should not be used on ramps or
grades. If you must drive on a grade, travel slowly
and don't turn. If carrying a load, point the forks
upgrade. If unloaded, point the forks downgrade.

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

USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY

• Keep hands and feet away from all moving parts
such as the load handler, masts or wheels. Don't sit
or stand on the side gates.

• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone
else to stand on or under them. Never allow
passengers on the truck. There is no safe place
for them.

• Before you leave your truck:

• Come to a complete stop.

• Lower the forks to the fl oor.

• Shut the truck off with the key switch.
