Operating Procedures
absolutely necessary to prepare the new operator for
proper defensive driving and to expect the unexpected.
WARNING
This lift truck is designed for handling materials. A lift
truck is not designed to lift people. Do not use a lift
truck to lift people unless it has been determined that
there is no other practical option (scaffolds, elevated
work platforms, aerial baskets, etc.) to perform the nee-
ded work.
If a lift truck is used to elevate a
worker, a safety platform must
be attached to the forks and car-
riage. The platform must be spe-
cially built to meet or exceed the
requirements of ANSI/ITSDF
B56.1. It must have a solid floor
with a surface to prevent the feet
of the worker from slipping, hand
rail, toe board, and a screen or
shield at least 2 m (7 ft) high between the people on the
platform and the lift mechanism.
The combined weight of the platform, load, and person-
nel is not to exceed one-half of the capacity as indica-
78
ted on the nameplate of the truck on which the platform
is used.
Before anyone is allowed in the platform, lift and lower
the mast slowly with the platform in place to make sure
the mast functions properly. Apply the parking brake.
Do not travel with people in the platform. The operator
must remain at the controls. Watch for overhead
obstructions.
2. NO RIDERS. A lift truck is built for only
one person – the operator. It is danger-
ous for anyone to ride on the forks or any-
where else on the lift truck.
3. ADJUST SEAT - INTERNAL SUSPENSION.
Seat Position Adjustment (Swivel Seat)
• The seat swivels 10.5 degrees to the right to allow the
operator a more ergonomic position when driving in
reverse.
