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

pages 19, 20 & 21).

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 can weigh 1360 kg or 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.
