When reversing, depending on the situation, an optional alarm, reversing lamp or rotary lamp should be
used. In all cases, be sure to face the rear and check around before traveling in reverse.
Do not travel on public roads unless you comply with local, state or other laws which regulate such
activity.
Always observe all traffic regulations when operating the lift truck.
Do not drive on public roads with the lift truck loaded.
Do not tow other machines on public roads. (Do not tow other machines even when not on public roads).
Always carry your driver's license when traveling on public roads.
The tire fenders prevent objects from being thrown up by the tires. When changing from a single tire to a
double tire arrangement on your forklift truck, always extend the tire fenders to cover the additional tires. If
the fenders are not extended, small stones and other objects will be thrown up and may injure the operator
or other people in the surrounding area.
Always work on level surfaces and wipe up all oil or grease from the ground.
When working on quays, platforms, docks or other places where there is a danger of falling, set up blocks
to prevent the lift truck from going over the edge.
Put warning signs up in dangerous places to warn the operator not to approach.
Mark the travel areas clearly and maintain the road surfaces in good condition.
Put up signs to prevent unauthorized machines from entering areas where trucks are being operated.
Ensure that there is adequate lighting to enable operations to be carried out safely.
