Know the Hazards

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING

Always be alert to the area around you and watch where
you are driving.  You could be pinned or crushed by 
driving into walls or racks or other fixed objects.

You could also be seriously injured by objects intruding
or poking into the operator area.

WATCH YOUR FEET AND HANDS

• While riding, keep your feet on the platform and hands

on the controls at all times.  This truck weighs about
3000 pounds, even without a load. You cannot stop or
even slow it down with your foot, hand 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, post
or any fixed object will be crushed or even cut off.

• When walking and traveling power unit first, protect

your legs and feet by staying to the side and keeping
out of the path of the truck.

TRAVEL

Rotate the top of the twist grip in the direction
you want to travel.

The farther you rotate the grip from the neutral position,
the faster the truck will travel.
