Yale VERACITOR GCC030VX Operating Manual page 101

Always look in the direction of travel to avoid damage
to something or injury to someone.
3. For better visibility with large loads, travel with the load
trailing, but always keep a proper lookout in the direction of
travel. Normally, direction of travel is determined by the
best visibility available to the operator. If the lift truck must
travel in a direction where visibility is obstructed, a lookout
helper is required. Never drive when visibility is obstructed.
4. When traveling up or down grades in excess of 5% with
a heavily loaded lift truck, keep the load upgrade to main-
tain control.
When operating an unloaded lift truck on a grade in
excess of 5%, keep the counterweight upgrade.
5. Watch out for pedestrians at all times.
Do not drive up to anyone standing in
front of an object. Use extra care at
cross-aisles, doorways, and other loca-
tions where pedestrians can step into
the path of travel of the lift truck.
Slow down when approaching blind
intersections or turns and sound the
horn. The horn is to warn pedestrians that there is a vehicle
in the area and to be alert to possible danger.
