Safety instructions relating to use of
the truck
Behaviour when driving
The operator must obey the same rules within
the plant as on the road. The operator must
drive at a speed appropriate for the driving
conditions. For example, the operator should
drive slowly around corners, when entering
and travelling through narrow passageways,
when driving through swing doors, at blind
spots, or on uneven surfaces. The operator
must always maintain a safe braking distance
from vehicles and persons in front of him and
must always have the truck under control. The
operator must avoid sudden stops, making
fast U-turns and overtaking other vehicles in
potentially dangerous areas or areas with poor
visibility.
WARNING
Driving the truck while sitting down is prohibited.
Please remember the following:
• Drive the truck as described in the "Operator
positions" section.
• The truck must not be used as a stepladder.
