Operator Safety Warning Decal
IMPORTANT
Safety and warning decals are placed in conspicuous
locations on the truck to remind you of essential
procedures or to prevent you from making an error
that could damage the truck or possibly cause
personal injury. You should know, understand, and
follow these instructions. Safety and warning decals
should be replaced immediately if missing or
defaced (damage or illegible). Refer to your Service
Manual for location of all decals.
Operator/Tip-Over
This decal is located on the front right hand leg of the
drivers overhead guard. It is to remind the operator that
staying in the seat provides the best chance of avoiding
injury in the event of a tip-over or off the dock mishap.
Lift trucks can be tipped over if operated improperly.
Analysis of lift truck accidents has shown that the driver
cannot react quickly enough to jump clear of the truck
and overhead guard as the truck tips. To protect
operators from severe injury or death in the event of a tip-
over, it is best to be held securely in the seat. So, please,
always buckle up when driving your lift truck.
