Do not turn, or travel across or at an angle on slopes. There is danger that
the lift truck will tip.
•
Before starting to drive up a slope, stop the lift truck and adjust the
clearance between the ground surface and the bottom of the forks so that
the bottom of the forks or pallet do not contact the ground surface or the tip
of the fork does not stick into the ground when traveling.
