1.2. SAFE TRAVEL
1-7
DON'T ALLOW A PASSENGER ON THE TRUCK
• Never allow any other person to ride with you on the lift
truck.
• Do not use anyone for a makeshift human counterweight.
BE SURE TO WEAR THE SAFETY SEAT BELT
• Always fit your seat belt correctly when operating. If your
seat belt is fitted incorrectly, there is danger of serious
personal injury if the lift truck should tip over.
• Always check the seat belt mounts and check for any
damage to the seat belt. If any abnormality is found, repair
or replace the seat belt immediately.
CHECK THE SURROUNDINGS FOR SAFETY BEFORE
STARTING UP THE ENGINE
• Before stating the engine, check that the parking brake is
set, and that the directional and speed levers are in the
neutral position.
• Adjust the operator's seat and the steering wheel before
starting the engine. Always lock them in position after
adjusting. Adjusting the seat or steering wheel during
operation is dangerous as it may cause you to lose your
balance or operate the lift truck in an unsafe manner.
• Before starting the engine, first check that the surrounding
area is safe, and sit securely in the operator's seat.
• Sound the horn before starting the engine to warn people
around you.
• Do not attempt to start the engine by intentionally short-
circuiting the engine starting circuit.
• Do not attempt to jump start the lift truck.
CHECK AND ADJUST THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND LAMPS
• 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.
• Check that all lamps light up correctly. Replace any broken bulbs (for lift trucks equipped with lamps).
