•Before operating this truck, read and understand this manual. Notify your supervisor if you have any concerns or questions. Carefully review all safety decals on the truck.

2.3 Pedestrians

Pay attention to pedestrians at all times. Many other people in your area of facility might not be familiar with this truck and how it operates. Always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians. Never drive this truck up to anyone, particularly someone standing next to a solid object like a wall or workbench.

2.4Travel

Operate this electric truck at an authorized speed consistent with conditions. Always maintain a safe distance from other trucks. Keep the truck under control at all times so you can stop in an emergency. Look in the direction of the path of travel, and keep a clear view. Stop the truck and sound the horn when crossing aisles or when visibility is obstructed. Keep to the right unless conditions dictate otherwise. Do not pass another truck traveling in the same direction at intersections, blind spots, or other dangerous locations. Avoid making sudden starts, quick stops or turns, particularly when operating with stacked loads. Slow down for rough, wet or slippery floors, and avoid running over any objects on the floor.

2.5 Power Equipment

Dockboards must be strong enough to carry the weight of the truck, the weight of the operator and the load. The carrying capacity should be plainly marked on the

dockboards. Dockboards should be securely anchored or equipped with devices to prevent slipping. The sides of the dockboards should be turned up at right angles to prevent the electric truck from running over the edge. Dockboards should be designed and maintained so the edges have substantial contact with the carrier and the dock or loading platform to prevent rocking or sliding. Handholds, or other effective means, should be provided to permit safe handling. Positive positioning, such as wheel chocks, should be provided to prevent railroad cars or highway trucks from being moved while dockboards are in position.

4.8Traveling With a Load

Always look in the direction of travel. When transporting loads over a long distance, always travel in a forward direction with the forks trailing. Never enter a trailer unless its wheels are checked and the trailer is properly jacked.

When traveling with a load, follow these instructions:

•Ensure the load on the forks is stable

•Travel at the safest speed that conditions allow, and always within authorized facility speed limits. Operate the truck only at a speed that permits the truck to stop safely at all times and under all travel conditions.

•Start, steer, change direction, and brake smoothly. Slow down for turns and uneven or slippery surfaces to avoid causing the truck to slide or tip.

•Keep a clear view and watch out for obstructions. When the load interferes with visibility, travel with the load trailing.

•Check the condition of all floors, dockboards, semi-trailer beds, ramps, elevators, and so on, to ensure they can safely support the truck and its load.

•Observe all traffic regulations. Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians. Stop and sound the horn at crossing aisles and whenever vision is obstructed.

•When operating in narrow aisles, stay as far away from stockpiles as possible in order to allow the truck to swing clear.

•Never cross railroad tracks except at approved floor grade crossings. Cross at an angle perpendicular to the tracks.

4.9 Positioning And Unloading

To position and unload the truck, follow these steps:

1.Slowly maneuver the truck with the load to the required area.

2.Place the load squarely and evenly to make use of all available space.

3.Lower the forks completely.

4.Drive the truck slowly away to withdraw the forks.
