Operations without the load
TRANSLATION WITHOUT THE LOAD
Never drive the empty machine with the forks in raised position. Move with the forks raised only as far as it will
allow them not to touch the ground and avoid obstacles.
Driving rules
VISIBILITY
n order to define the concept of visibility, it is necessary to indicate the terminology used for travel directions.
The forklift in question is a machine that can only be driven by an operator on the ground. In general, the forward
direction of the forklift is that which gives the best visibility to the operator.
DANGER
Should the truck travel in poor visibility conditions, the operator must be assisted by specialized and authorized
personnel.
SPEED
The speed of travel of the forklift must be commensurate with the possible presence of people in the work area of
the machine itself and with visibility, pavement status and load. Particular attention should be given to driving on
wet and slippery routes. In any case, the truck must be driven at such a speed that it can be stopped safely.
PEDESTRIANS
Use the horn to warn of the presence of the forklift and the danger that could arise for exposed persons such
as pedestrians and people on the forklift path. Slow down near intersections, ramps and blind curves in order to
reduce collision possibilities.
GROUND OBSTACLES
Avoid potholes, bumps, puddles and scattered objects that could cause skidding or overturning. Always choose
the easiest route for the forklift.
MANEUVERING SPACE
Always pay attention to the space required for maneuvers, with particular attention to the forks, and to the
stowage aisle. The operator must always keep in mind that the forks can protrude beyond the load, so they could
accidentally bump on or lift other materials.
NARROW PASSAGES
Any narrow passages must be specially marked. Before entering a narrow passage, the driver must check that
there are no people or other forklifts in the aisle. In this case, or if there are not enough measures to protect people
or to avoid collisions with other trucks, the driver is prohibited from entering the passage.
CAUTION
Always drive the forklift with extreme caution: to avoid skids, jolts, etc. Carefully avoid creating dangerous
situations, such as speed competitions and stunts.
OVERTAKING
Never overtake other forklifts near intersections, blind spots and other dangerous locations.
