OPERATING PROCEDURES If the weight of the load is not centered between the forks, the load can fall from the forks when you turn a corner or hit a bump. An off--center load will increase the possibility of the truck tipping over to the side. Make sure the pins that keep the forks in position are en- gaged so that the forks cannot move.
Do not lift or hit anything that can fall on the operator or a or near the bystander. Remember, a lift truck equipped with a HYSTER overhead guard and load backrest extension provides rea- sonable protection to the operator from falling objects, but...

OPERATING PROCEDURES WARNING The lift truck can tip over forward when the load is raised. Forward tipping is even more likely when tilting forward, braking when traveling forward or accelerating in reverse. A lift truck without an overhead guard provides no such pro- tection and other personnel have no overhead protection.
OPERATING PROCEDURES load that is raised. The lift truck can tip forward if the mast is tilted forward with a load in the raised position. Approach the load carefully. Make sure that the truck is per- pendicular to the load. Raise the forks to the proper height for engaging the load.
