8.
Watch clearances, especially forks, mast, overhead
guard, and tailswing. A lift truck is designed to perform a
wide variety of functions within limited space.
The operator must be aware that the forks can sometimes
extend beyond the front of the load. If the forks extend
beyond the load, the operator can hit an object or lift
another load.
9.
Do not indulge in stunt driving or horseplay.
10.
Do not pass another lift truck traveling in the same
direction at intersections, blind spots, or at other dangerous
locations.
11.
Stay away from the edge of the road. Keep the wheels
of the lift truck, particularly the steer wheels, on the road-
way. If the wheels are allowed to run off the edge of the
travel surface onto soft ground, the lift truck can tip over.
