Know the Hazards

WHEN OPERATING OUTDOORS

• Slow down when traveling on slippery roads or 

slippery surfaces.

• Avoid traveling in areas which are flooded or where 

there are bumps, holes, or loose material that can 

cause the truck to tip or swerve.

• Do not drive your truck on soft ground.
• Stay away from curbs, rails, ditches or other 

obstacles.

• Do not drive on road shoulders. They can be soft and  

may collapse.

• When entering buildings, be careful not to exceed  

 floor weight limits.

USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY

• Keep your hands and feet away from all moving parts  

such as masts, chains or wheels. Make sure the load 

backrest is in place, when required.

• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone 

else to stand on or under them. The only way to lift 

people is with an approved platform.  

Never allow passengers on the truck. There is no safe 

place for them.

• Before you leave your truck:

• Come to a complete stop, lower forks to the floor and 

shut the truck off.

• Place the direction control in neutral and apply the  

parking brake. Chock wheels if on an incline.
