OPERATING PROCEDURES

2. Travel with the lift mechanism raised only enough to
clear the ground or obstacles.
When the mast, carriage or load is in a raised position the
stability of the lift truck is reduced. This is also critical
when the lift truck is not carrying a load. The ability of the
lift truck to resist side tipping can be less on a lift truck
without a load than it is on a lift truck with a load in the
lowered (travel) position. Therefore, a lift truck without a
load is more likely to tip sideways, especially in a turn,
than a lift truck with a load carried in the lowered position.
WARNING
Some lift trucks have mirrors for viewing along the
side to observe the tail swing area. These mirrors are
an aid to the driver, but are NOT driving mirrors and
must NOT be used as such when operating in re-
verse. Always look in the direction of travel to avoid
damage to something or injury to someone.
3. For better visibility with large loads, travel with the load
trailing, but always keep a proper lookout in the direction
of travel. Normally, direction of travel is determined by the
best visibility available to the operator. If the lift truck must
travel in a direction where visibility is obstructed, a lookout
helper can be required.
4. When travelling up or down a grade with a heavily
loaded lift truck, keep the load upgrade to maintain con-
trol.
