UniCarriers FG20 Series Operation & Maintenance Manual page 28

Know the load bearing capacity of the
floor
Before entering a building or going into an elevator,
make sure the floor is strong enough to withstand
the weights of the truck and the loads.
Practice safe driving and load handling
techniques
Before using the lift truck, you must practice
safe driving and load handling techniques. Even
after getting familiar with the operation of the
truck, operate the truck carefully; reckless driving
and operation will cause a personal injury or an
accident.
When using multiple trucks
When operating multiple trucks, remember that their
operating controls have their own characteristics
even if the trucks are of the same specification. If
you change the trucks, keep this point in mind. In
particular, pay attention to the brake system.
Stay inside if the truck seems like it is
about to turn over
The operator must always fasten his seat belt. If the
truck turns over, the operator might be thrown out
and, in the worst case, the operator can be crushed
under the truck causing severe injury or even death.
If it seems like the truck is about turn over, stay in
the operator's seat. Hold on to the steering wheel
firmly, brace your feet firmly on the floor, lean your
body away the direction in which the truck seems
like it is going to turn over. Never jump out of the
truck!
