Know the Hazards

USE YOUR TRUCK CAREFULLY, LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING

• Travel with the load or forks close to the floor. Stay
away from inclines or sloping floors. To stop a loaded
truck in an emergency, lower the forks to the floor, or
carefully guide the truck into a wall or other solid
object. Watch for shifting or falling loads.

• Watch your hands and your feet. Always be alert to
the area around you and watch where you are walking.

A foot or hand caught between the truck and a fixed

object will be crushed or even cut off.

• Operate on level, smooth, dry floors. Do not operate

on ramps or inclines. Do not run over objects on the
floor.

• Keep your truck under control at all times. Move at a

comfortable walking speed. Perform all truck
movements smoothly and at a speed that will give you
time to react in an emergency.

• While maneuvering the truck or moving power unit

first, keep both hands on the push bar grips, and make
certain the truck or wheels won’t hit your legs or feet.

Know the Hazards

AVOID FALLS AND TIPOVERS

Tipovers and falls 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.

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

• Be extremely careful when working around docks,

dockboards and trailers.

• Stay away from the edge of docks and ramps. Do not
operate this truck on ramps or inclines.

• Make sure dockboards are secure.

• Check that trailer wheels are chocked.

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

WARNING

Stay clear of all
moving parts.

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

USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY

• Keep your hands and feet away from all moving parts
such as masts, chains, forks or wheels.

• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone
else to stand on or under them. The only way to lift
people is with an approved platform. Never ride on
the truck or allow anyone else to ride. There is no
safe place to sit or stand.

• Before you leave your truck: lower the forks to the
floor, apply the floor locks and disconnect the battery.
