Safety instructions for using 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 distance from ve-
hicles and persons in front of him, and must
always have the truck under control. The oper-
ator must choose a travel speed suitable for
the work environment that ensures sufficient
space for braking. Be aware that the braking
distance increases disproportionately to the
speed of the truck and that the wheels can
skid on the floor when braking sharply. The
operator must avoid sudden stops, making
fast U-turns and overtaking other vehicles in
potentially dangerous areas or areas with poor
visibility. The operator must face the direction
of travel and have sufficient visibility of the
