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 22, 23 & 24).

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

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 fi xed object, will be crushed or even
cut off.

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.
