Brake the truck in good time
The truck takes a little longer to come to a stop on a slippery
surface than on a usual surface. Brake the truck in good time.
In addition, the stopping distance of the truck is longer on a
downhill. Keep the traveling speed under your control.
Do not shut off the engine during traveling
(trucks with power steering and power brake)
Engine-powered trucks
If the engine stops during traveling, both the power steering unit
and the power brake goes inoperative.
Do not turning off key switch during traveling
Electric trucks
If the key switch is turned off during traveling, power steering
becomes disabled to make steering hard.
Engine braking is not available when the inching pedal
is pressed
Engine-powered trucks
When the inching pedal is pressed to the bottom, the brake is
applied to the truck, but engine braking is not available because
the clutch unit is disengaged.
When driving over a dockboard:
• Do not ride on the edge of the dockboard or bridgeplates;
otherwise the truck might fall down, leading to personal injury or
even death.
• Before driving over a dockboard or bridgeplate, make sure it is
properly secured. Never exceed its rated capacity. Do not use a
damaged dockboard or bridgeplate.
• Have the brakes set and wheels blocked in place to prevent the
trailer from moving.
• Jacks must be installed to support the trailer when the truck
goes into the trailer.
• Drive carefully and slowly across the dockboard or bridgeplate.
• Watch for bystanders.
• Give instructions to the trailer driver not to move the trailer until
load handling is finished.
• Make sure the dockboard or bridgeplate is secured.
