Know the Hazards

POWER UNIT SWING

Be careful turning while traveling coupler end first. The 

power unit will swing wide in the opposite direction. 

Make sure you have clearance, and watch out for 

people in the area.

Keep your hands and feet in the operator area.

Warning:  

Never place objects anywhere on the operator 

platform.  They would be a trip hazard and could 

affect truck speed and steering.

SLOW DOWN FOR SPILLS OR WET FLOORS

Powder or liquid spills can cause slippery floors.  

Slow down or you could lose control of steering and 

braking.  Be careful and allow for a longer stopping 

distance.

Don't run over objects on the floor.

KEY SWITCH

Turn the truck on by turning the key clockwise to ON. 

Check that all display lights are working.
Turn the truck off by turning the key counterclockwise 

to OFF.
Always turn the key off when leaving the truck.

POWER DISCONNECT

Pull up on the battery connector, or the optional 

handle, to disconnect the battery and cut all power.
Always disconnect the battery any time the truck isn't 

working right.  The key switch does not cut all power 

to the truck.
Don't use the truck if it's not working right.  Report the 

problem to your supervisor.
