WHEN LEAVING YOUR TRUCK

• Lower the forks to the floor.
• Apply the floor locks and disconnect the battery.

WATCH OUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE

• Slow down.  Watch out for pedestrians and warn them

of your presence.

• Be careful that you don't pin or crush someone.

For example: Never move your truck toward anyone 

standing in front of a fixed object.

• Never allow anyone to ride on your truck.
• Keep others away from your truck while you're working.

  Don't ever allow anyone on or under the load or forks.
• Don't let anyone use your truck unless they are trained

and authorized.

• Never lift anyone with the forks unless they are using

an approved platform.  Even then use extreme caution:
• Use a securely attached and approved safety platform.
• Make certain lifting mechanism is operating properly.
• Apply the floor locks.
• Lift and lower slowly.
• Watch for overhead obstructions.
• Be sure you can see and hear the person being lifted.
• Never transport anyone on the platform from one 

     location to another.

BATTERIES

Your truck has two automotive style batteries.

You must check the batteries daily.

CHARGERS

Your truck has a built-in charger.  The charger must be

plugged into an AC electrical outlet before charging.

Make certain the charger and the AC outlet are the same

voltage.  Follow the directions on your charger.

BATTERY CHARGE METER OPTION

The lighted bar shows how much charge is left in your

batteries.  A flashing light will warn you that the batteries

are getting low.  Two flashing lights mean you must have

the batteries changed or recharged.
