SAFE TRAVEL
1-9
• If the view to the front is obstructed by the load, turn to the rear
and drive the forklift truck in reverse.
• When driving in reverse with a high load, use a signal person to
ensure the safety of the load and the safety in the surrounding
area.
WHEN FRONT VIEW IS POOR
• When checking the lift truck before starting, follow the procedure given in this Manual, and do not start
the lift truck until all the checks have been completed.
• If anything abnormal is found, inform the person in charge and carry out the necessary repairs.
CHECK BEFORE STARTING
• When reversing, never depend on the rear view mirror; the operator must visually check behind him.
Also, adjust the rear view mirror so that the operator can check from the operator's seat that the area
behind the lift truck is safe.
• Always keep the surface of the mirror clean. If the mirror is broken, replace it with a new one (for lift
trucks equipped with rear view mirror).
• Check that the lamps light up correctly. Replace any broken bulbs (for lift trucks equipped with lamps).
REARVIEW MIRROR, LAMPS
• NEVER jump onto or off the lift truck.
• When getting on or off the lift truck, always stop the lift truck and use the
handrails and steps to ensure that you support yourself.
• Never hold any control levers or the steering wheel when getting on or off
the lift truck.
• If there is any oil, grease or mud on the handrails or steps, wipe it off
immediately. Always keep these parts clean. Repair any damage.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
• Do not drive the lift truck if your hands are wet or covered with oil. Your hands will slip on the work
equipment control levers or directional lever, and this may cause a serious accident.
KEEP HANDS FREE FROM OIL AND WATER
