in the direction of travel to avoid damage to something
or injury to someone.
3. For better visibility with large loads, travel with the load
trailing, but always keep a proper lookout in the direction of
travel. Normally, direction of travel is determined by the best
visibility available to the operator. If the lift truck must travel
in a direction where visibility is obstructed, a lookout helper
is required. Never drive when visibility is obstructed.
4. When traveling up or down grades in excess of 5% with a
heavily loaded lift truck, keep the load upgrade to maintain
control.
When operating an unloaded lift truck on a grade in excess
of 5%, keep the counterweight upgrade.
5. Watch out for pedestrians at all times.
Do not drive up to anyone standing in
front of an object. Use extra care at cross-
aisles, doorways, and other locations
where pedestrians can step into the path
of travel of the lift truck.
Slow down when approaching blind inter-
sections or turns and sound the horn. The horn is to warn
pedestrians that there is a vehicle in the area and to be alert
to possible danger.
