WATCH OUT FOR PEOPLE AROUND YOU

Pedestrians always have the right-of-way. They can’t

control your vehicle. Start out slowly and don’t drive

too close to them. Be careful at intersections. Check

around the vehicle and under the platform before

lowering or driving.

THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE FOR PASSENGERS

Never allow anyone to stand or ride anywhere on  

your vehicle.

FALLING OBJECTS CAN INJURE PEOPLE BELOW YOU

Be careful when handling tools or merchandise. Work

close to racks or shelves when transferring loads.

Make sure loads are stable.

FALLS ARE VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS

Keep the gates closed when you are elevated. Don’t

climb on any part of the platform. Never add anything

to the platform to stand or climb on. Don’t climb  

down from an elevated platform. Have someone  

lower the platform using the override controls on the 

service panel, or the manual lowering valve under the 

load deck.

HANDS AND FEET CAN BE PINNED OR CRUSHED

Come to a complete stop before leaving your vehicle.

While the vehicle is moving, keep your hands on the

controls and your heels on the pedals. Any part of your

body caught between the vehicle and a solid object  

will be crushed or even cut off. If you must use a hand 

to stabilize a load, make certain you will not be pinned 

or crushed.

AVOID TIPOVERS

Never overload your vehicle. Distribute loads evenly.

Watch out for overhead obstructions like pipes or

electrical conduits. Stay away from the edge of docks

or drop-offs. Be sure your path is clear of debris, holes

or anything that could cause a tipover.

KEEP YOUR VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL

Don’t drive on ramps or grades. You could lose steering

control. Be extra careful and drive slowly over spills or

wet floors. Don’t drive over things in your path.

THIS PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED

You could be burned or even killed if you or your 

vehicle comes too close to electrical devices or wires. 

Know what voltages you may be exposed to, and what 

the safe working distance is.
