BEFORE OPERATION
When servicing battery, do not smoke or use flame in vicinity. Batteries generate hydrogen, a highly explosive gas.
Avoid contact with the battery electrolyte. If the solution comes in con- tact with the skin, rinse the area immediately
with clean water to avoid skin burns.
Check equipment logbook for record of proper servicing and maintenance.
Check the operating area to be sure it is clear of personnel and obstructions.
DURING OPERATION
Be alert for other workers to be sure they are not in the way of the load or the moving truck.
Be sure there Is sufficient clearance overhead and on each side of the truck.
Always travel with the mast tilted back and with forks raised just high enough to clear any uneven floor conditions.
Avoid sudden starting and stopping of the truck. Reduce speed when making a turn.
Face in the direction of travel.
Know the rated capacity of the truck and do not overload it.
Never pick up a load until certain it can be carried
safely.
Make sure the load Is steady before lifting it and keep the load against the carriage backrest.
When transporting bulky loads, travel in reverse. Always descend ramps In reverse when carrying a load.
When unloading a heavy elevated load, position the load directly over the unloading spot, as low as possible, before
tilting the mast forward.
Be very careful when high-tiering.
Do not butt loads with the forks or with the rear of the truck.
Report any evidence of faulty truck performance.
