PLANNING AND WORKING AREA
■ INSTALL CURBS OR RAILINGS
If the truck is to be used on a loading dock, shore wall or other
raised surface, install curbs or railings.
■ DO NOT RELY ON THE OVERHEAD GUARD
The overhead guard is a protective device that will moderate the
impact of an object falling from overhead, but it cannot withstand
every impact. If a heavy object seems likely to fall on the truck,
make every effort to prevent it from doing so.
