Hyster H40-60XT, Operating Manual

Page: 77 / 180

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.
6. Anytime the lift truck is moving
keep arms, legs, etc., inside the
operator's compartment. Arms and
legs outside the machine can be
injured when passing obstructions.
7. Avoid bumps, holes, mud, slick
spots, and loose materials that
may cause the lift truck to swerve
or tip. If unavoida-
ble, slow down.
Different models of
lift trucks are
designed to operate
under different con-
ditions. Solid rubber
tire models are
designed to operate
on relatively smooth,
firm surfaces. Lift
trucks with pneumatic tires can adapt to more uneven
ground. Always make sure you pick the smoothest route for
your lift truck.
