4.2 Stability
4.2.1 Experience has shown that this vehicle, which complies with this standard, is stable when properly operated

of instability and defeat the purpose of the standard. Some of the conditions which may affect stability are failure of the
user to follow safety practices; also, ground and floor conditions, grade, speed, loading, the operation of the carrier with
improper loads, battery weight, dynamic and static forces, and the judgement exercised by the carrier operator.

comply with additional, specific safety practices.
