WARNING
Failure to observe the tail swing area when making a
turn can injure or kill someone.
Because lift trucks are designed to work in a relatively
small space,they can turn sharper than some other ve-
hicles. Most lift trucks are steered by the rear wheels and
the rear of the lift truck can move to the side very fast dur-
ing a turn. This movement is called “tail swing”. An opera-
tor must be aware of tail swing and always check to make
sure the tail swing area is clear before turning.
“TAIL
SWING”
Do not turn on an incline. To re-
duce the possibility of a tipover, a
lift truck must not be driven
across an incline.
When possible, keep both hands on the steering wheel.
During most loading or unloading operations, the operator
steers with the left hand. The right hand is used to oper-
ate the lift, tilt, and attachment controls.
When turning the lift truck from a wide aisle into a narrow
aisle, start the turn as close to the opposite stock pile as
