Driving safety instructions
Behaviour when driving
The operator must obey the same driving
rules within the plant as on the road. The op-
erator must drive at a speed appropriate for
the driving conditions. For example, the opera-
tor should drive slowly around corners, when
entering and travelling along narrow aisles,
when driving through swing doors, at blind
spots or on uneven surfaces. The operator
must always maintain a safe braking distance
from other vehicles and persons in front of him
and must always have full control of the truck.
The operator must avoid sudden stops, fast U-
turns and overtaking other vehicles in poten-
tially dangerous areas or areas with poor visi-
bility.
Driving the truck while seated is prohibited.
During operation in pedestrian mode:
●
Never sit on the truck to drive it.
●
The truck must not be used as a stepladder.
●
The truck was not designed to transport
people and must not be used for this pur-
pose.
●
The operator must always stay within the
truck clearance.
●
Stay in the safety area (working area de-
fined by the manufacturer).
Use of a telephone or radio in the truck is per-
mitted, but avoid using these devices when
driving as they may distract you.
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the direction of travel
and have a clear view of the route travelled
on. He must always ensure that the way is
clear, particularly when reversing. When trans-
porting goods that obstruct visibility, the truck
must be driven with the load trailing. If this is
not possible, a guide must walk ahead of the
