Travel visibility
The operator must look in the direction of travel and must always have a clear view
of the route ahead. If the truck is carrying loads that affect visibility, the truck must
travel against the load direction. If this is not possible, a second person must walk
alongside the truck as a lookout to observe the travel route while maintaining eye
contact with the operator. Proceed only at walking pace and with particular care.
Stop the truck as soon as you lose eye contact.
