SAFE TRAVEL
When going in or out of places with height or width limits:
•
Ensure that there is ample height and width for the lift truck to pass.
•
Do not extend your hands or legs outside the operator's
compartment or the area covered by the overhead guard (safe area).
•
Check that the surrounding area is safe.
•
Be careful of electric wires and other obstacles inside and outside
the building.
•
When turning while traveling forward, the counterweight will swing
far out. Keep an ample clearance from walls and other objects to
ensure safety.
•
When turning, travel slowly and be careful that the front or rear
wheels do not come off the ground.
•
When turning on soft road shoulders, there is danger that the rear
wheels may come off the road shoulder and cause the lift truck to
tip.
•
When traveling downhill, it requires a longer distance for the lift truck to stop than when traveling on level
ground.
•
When traveling downhill, reduce the speed and make sure that you have ample room at the bottom of the
slope to stop.
•
When traveling on wet surfaces, it requires a longer distance to stop than when traveling on normal road
surfaces. Always have ample room to stop.
•
If there is any problem with the brakes or steering system of your lift truck, do not use another lift truck to
tow it. There is danger that the lift truck may run away.
