OPERATING PROCEDURES
44
FAST
SLOW
WARNING
Inching requires coordinated movement of the inch-
ing/brake pedal and the accelerator or the
MONOTROL
R
pedal. New operators must practice
this procedure before attempting to handle loads.
Steering (Turning)
WARNING
TRAVEL SLOWLY WHEN
TURNING. Lift trucks can tip
over even at very slow
speeds. The combination of
speed and the sharpness of
a turn can cause a tipover.
A lift truck is less stable
when the forks are elevated,
with or without a load.
WARNING
IF THE LIFT TRUCK TIPS OVER, DO NOT JUMP OFF!
HOLD FIRMLY TO STEERING WHEEL, BRACE YOUR
FEET, AND LEAN FORWARD AND AWAY FROM THE
POINT OF IMPACT.
Most operators can understand the need to be careful
when handling loads. But some operators do not realize
that a tipover can occur with an empty lift truck because
similar dynamic forces are present. In fact, the lift truck
will actually tip over easier when empty, than when loaded
with the load lowered. Rearward tilt, off--center loads and
uneven ground will aggravate these conditions.
