Driving safety instructions

Behaviour when driving
The operator must obey the same driving rules
within the plant as on the road. The operator
must drive at a speed appropriate for the
driving conditions. For example, the operator
should drive slowly around corners, when
entering and travelling along narrow aisles,
when driving through swing doors, at blind
spots or on uneven surfaces. The operator
must always maintain a safe braking distance
from other vehicles and persons in front of
him and must always have full control of the
truck. The operator must avoid sudden stops,
fast U-turns and overtaking other vehicles in
potentially dangerous areas or areas with poor
visibility.
Driving the truck while seated is prohibited.
During operation in pedestrian mode:
• Never sit on the truck to drive it.
• The truck must not be used as a stepladder.
• The truck was not designed to transport
people and must not be used for this
purpose.
• The operator must always stay within the
truck clearance.
• Stay in the safety area (working area
defined by the manufacturer).
Use of a telephone or radio in the truck is
permitted, but avoid using these devices when
driving as they may distract you.

Visibility when driving

The driver must look in the direction of travel
and have a clear view of the route travelled
on. He must always ensure that the way
is clear, particularly when reversing. When
transporting goods that obstruct visibility, the
truck must be driven with the load trailing.
If this is not possible, a guide must walk
ahead of the truck. In this case, the truck may
only be driven at walking pace and with the
utmost caution. The truck must be stopped
