Protect Yourself

WEAR YOUR OPERATOR HARNESS

Falls from a platform can cause serious injury or even 
death.
• Use your operator harness and lanyard when elevated  

and working with an open side gate or with the 
narrow front rail option. Read the warnings on the 
harness.

• Check your harness and lanyard. Replace them if they  

 have ever been used to stop a fall, or if damaged or  
 worn.

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING

• If you run into things you can be injured. You could  

 fall from the truck or the load could shift and hit you.   
Make certain there is nothing in your path, on the 
fl oor  or sticking out of the racks.

• Always be alert to the area around you and watch      

 where you are driving. You could be pinned or    
crushed by objects intruding or poking into the 
operator area. 

 
DRIVE CAREFULLY

• Keep your hands on the controls and feet on the 

pedals. Keep your entire body in the operator area.  
A foot or hand caught between the truck and a fi xed 
object will be crushed or even cut off.

• Keep your truck under control at all times. Drive at a  

 speed that allows you to stop safely. Be even more  
 careful on slippery or uneven surfaces. Do not drive  
 over objects on the fl oor.

CHECK YOUR LOADS

• Before you pivot a load, make certain it won't intrude  

or poke into the operator area. Do not handle long,  
 wide or unstable loads. Check clearances before 
using traverse.
