Stay clear of all
moving parts.

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

Know the Hazards

DRIVE CAREFULLY

• Keep your hands on the controls and feet on the
pedals/pad. Keep your entire body in the operator area.

• Never stick a foot or any part of your body outside the
operator area, no matter how slow the truck is moving.
You cannot stop 3630 kg (8000 pounds) with any part
of your body. A foot or hand caught between the truck
and a fixed object will be crushed or even cut off.

• Stay away from the edge of docks and ramps. Make
sure dockboards are secure. Check that trailer wheels
are chocked. You could be seriously injured or even
killed in a fall from a dock or dockboard.

• Keep your truck under control at all times. Drive at a
speed that allows you to stop safely. Be even more
careful on slippery or uneven surfaces. Do not drive
over objects on the floor.

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING

• Always be alert to the area around you and watch where
you are driving. You could be pinned or crushed by
objects intruding or poking into the operator area.

Know the Hazards

AVOID FALLS AND TIPOVERS

Falls from docks and tipovers are very serious accidents;
you can be crushed or even killed. Immediately exit and
move away from the truck in these emergencies.
Note: This is not like sit-down rider trucks, where it is
recommended that the operator stay with the truck.
The best way to prevent injury is to know where you are
at all times and follow the rules of safe truck operation.

• Be extremely careful when working around docks,

dockboards and trailers.

• Travel with the load or forks close to the ground and

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 using a loaded one.

USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY

• Keep your hands and feet away from all moving parts

such as masts, chains, forks or wheels. Make sure the
overhead guard and load backrest are in place.

• 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 allow passengers
on the truck. There is no safe place for them.

• Before you leave your truck:

• Come to a complete stop and lower forks to the floor.

• Shut the truck off with the key or power disconnect.

Your Narrow-Aisle Truck

NARROW-AISLE TRUCKS

Your narro w-aisle rider truck lifts, mov es and stacks loads.
It is designed to work in warehouses built with narrower
aisles to give maximum storage.

YOUR LIFT TRUCK IS NOT AN AUTOMOBILE

With a load it may weigh more than 3 automobiles.

• You don't steer the same.

• You don't brake the same.

• You don't accelerate the same.

FORK FUNCTIONS, STANDARD AND OPTIONAL

Raising and Lowering the forks, Tilt (up and down), and
Reach (in and out) are standard on the RR and RD models.
Included on all models may also be Sideshift (right and
left), or other options such as Rack Height Select. Your
company has decided which features are needed in your
work area and should train you how to use them.

HOW TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK

Your truck is designed with a tilted floorboard and padding
in the operator area. Some models include a folding seat.
You drive your truck by standing or sitting sideways and
leaning back against the pads.This, along with your hands
on the controls and feet on the pedals/pad, gives you
stability. The controls are located so you can vary your
body position for best comfort and visibility.

BUILT TO STANDARDS

to current industry and government
standards and guidelines. For more

WHAT IS YOUR TRUCK CAPACITY?

Capacity is the load (including pallet or container)
that can be lifted to a given height at a given load
center. See the capacity plate on your truck. Make
certain you use the correct units of measure.

WHAT IS LOAD CENTER?

Load center is the distance from the load backrest
or vertical face of the forks to the center of an
evenly distributed load.

LOADS MUST BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

Your truck could tip over, in any direction, if a
load is shifted to the front or side of a pallet or
container.

Know the capacity of your truck as shown on your capacity
plate. Make certain you use the correct units of measure.
Pay attention to:

• Weight of load

• Load center

• Lift height

CENTER THE LOAD

Your truck could tip over if a load is shifted to the front

evenly distributed, stable and centered over the forks.

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Be careful when using reach, tilt, sideshift or other
operations. Remember that anytime the forks move, the
load moves also. This can affect stability. Perform all
hydraulic operations smoothly. (This also applies to any
attachments your truck may have.)
