BRAKING

To apply the brake, move the control handle
either down or up to one of the braking positions.

Braking is different if you use the coast feature (see
page 19).

Always check the braking and the position of the coast
selector before you start driving.

MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKE WORKS

Test the brake on your truck at the start of each shift.
Know the distance it takes to stop before you start
working.
If at any time the stopping distance is too long for you to
stop safely, don’t drive the truck.  Report any problem to
your supervisor.

WATCH YOUR FEET

While riding, keep your feet on the platform at all times.
This truck weighs about 3000 pounds unloaded. You
cannot stop or even slow it down with your foot, or any
part of your body, no matter how slow the truck is
moving.  A foot or hand caught between the truck and a
wall, or any fixed object, will be crushed or even cut off.
