FOREWORD
To OWNERS, USERS, and OPERATORS:
The safe and efficient operation of a lift truck
requires
skill and alertness on the part of the operator. To develop
the skill required the operator must:
•
receive training in the proper operation of THIS lift
truck.
•
understand the capabilities and limitations of the lift
truck.
•
become familiar with the construction of the lift truck
and see that it is maintained in good condition.
•
read and understand the warnings and operating
procedures in this manual.
In addition a qualified person, experienced in lift truck opera-
tion, must guide a new operator through several driving and
load handling operations before the new operator attempts
to operate the lift truck alone.
It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure that
the operator can see, hear, and has the physical and men-
tal ability to operate the equipment safely.
Various laws and regulations require the employer to train
lift truck operators. These laws and regulations include:
Occupational Safety and Health Act (USA)
Canada Material Handling Regulations
NOTE:
A comprehensive operator training program is
available from HYSTER COMPANY. For further details,
contact your dealer for Hyster lift trucks.
