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.
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 4400 kg (9700 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: End-control rider trucks, such as this SR, are not
like center-control 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 load backrest is 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.

3 Protect Yourself

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

Your Rider-Reach Truck

RIDER-REACH TRUCKS

Your rider-reach truck is designed to lift, move and stack
loads.

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 sit the same.

FORK FUNCTIONS, STANDARD AND OPTIONAL

Raising and Lowering the forks, Tilt (fork tips up or down),
Reach (extend or retract the mast), Sideshift (right or
left), and Rack Height Select are standard on the SR
model. Your company may select other options as needed
in your work area, and should train you how to use them.

HOW TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK

Your truck is equipped with a multi-adjustable seat.
You drive your truck by sitting sideways and leaning back
into the seat. This, along with your hands on the controls
and feet on the pedals or floorboard, gives you stability.
The controls are located so you can vary your body
position for best comfort and visibility.
