Warning
DO NOT operate the truck when the weather
is inclement, such as wind storms, thunder
storms, snow and etc.
23.
When operating a loaded truck, have the
rear end of the truck pointed downhill. When
operating an unloaded truck, have the rear
end of your machine pointed uphill
Never turn truck sideways on an incline.
There is danger of the truck turning over.
24.
When operating truck down on a grade,
use engine idle speed. At the same time use
the brake pedal intermittently.
25.
It is dangerous to travel with forks higher
than the appropriate position regardless of
whether they are loaded or not. Maintain a
good traveling posture. (When traveling, the
forks should be 15 to 30 cm above the ground
or floor.)
DO NOT operate the side shift mechanism, if
equipped, when the forks are raised and
loaded, since this will cause the truck to
become unbalanced.
A
truck
with
attachments
should
be
considered the same as a loaded truck.
26.
Travel with load as low as possible and
tilted back the mast.
27.
Avoid braking too sharply or descending
on a grade at a high speed. There is danger
of loads falling down or the truck turning over.
28.
Always brake to a full stop before
reversing direction of travel; vice versa.
29.
Take the shape and material of the loads
to be handled into account when selecting the
proper attachment and tools.
Avoid hoisting the load with wire rope hung
from the forks or the attachment, since wire
rope may slide off. If needed, qualified
personnel should perform a sling operation,
making use of a hook or crane arm
attachment.
Caution
Make sure the fork does not protrude
from under load. The protruding fork tips
may damage or turn over an adjacent load.
