12. LOADING OPERATIONS
•
Do not allow the tips of the forks to get close to people. The tips
of the forks are pointed, so there is a risk that they may cause
injury.
•
Do not hook the tips of the forks under objects. If the forks slip
out, there is danger that the lift truck or object may move
unexpectedly.
•
Do not allow anyone except the signal person in the working area.
•
Do not let any person or another lift truck come close during operation.
•
When working with a signal person, always follow their instructions.
Always be sure that the pallets and skids have ample strength. If broken or damaged pallets or skids are
used, there is a risk that the load may fall.
•
Be extremely careful when carrying long or wide loads. Raise the load
slowly and be careful not to touch anything in the surrounding area.
•
Keep the load as low as possible and be sure to maintain the balance.
•
When turning, operate slowly and be careful not to let the load move.
