Do not turn the key switch OFF during traveling. If the key switch is turned OFF, the power steering (for
lift trucks with power steering) and power brake (for lift trucks with power brakes) will not work.
•
Do not use the brake excessively. Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal unless you are operating it. If
you do, the brake will overheat and the braking effect will be lost.
•
When traveling, always pay careful attention to the area around
your lift truck, particularly in the direction of travel or when
turning.
•
Do not pass other vehicles on narrow roads or at crossings or
other places where the view is poor.
•
When traveling through crossings or other places where the
view is poor, or when entering or leaving narrow roads, stop and
sound the horn to confirm safety before driving on.
•
Even if you sound the horn, not everyone in the surrounding
area will necessarily hear it. Always pay careful attention to the
movements of people in the surrounding area.
•
When crossing roads or turning corners, stop and confirm safety
before continuing.
•
Always pay careful attention to the movements of people in the surrounding area, and take steps to
prevent people from entering the working area.
To ensure safety when driving the lift truck, always pay careful attention
to the following:
•
Avoid traveling in places which are flooded or where there are holes.
•
Do not try to drive the lift truck on soft ground.
•
Avoid curbs, rails, ditches, or other obstacles, and do not travel
directly over them.
•
Do not travel on slippery road surfaces.
•
When entering buildings, check the weight limit of the floor and be
careful not to exceed the limit.
•
Keep a clear view of the path of travel and observe for other traffic,
personnel, and safe clearances.
•
When passing oncoming vehicles, reduce speed and keep a safe
distance from the other vehicle.
•
In places where there are speed limits, observe the speed limit and
maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
•
When traveling on slopes or in confined areas, unloaded lift trucks should always give the right of way to
loaded trucks.
