Know the Hazards

STEERING

You control steering by moving the control handle from side to side.

For example: This picture shows the directions the truck can turn when

the control handle is moved to the approximate position shown.

POWER UNIT SWING

Be careful turning while traveling forks fi rst. The power
unit will swing wide in the opposite direction. Make
sure you have clearance, and watch out for people in
the area.

SLOW DOWN FOR SPILLS OR WET FLOORS

Powder or liquid spills can cause slippery fl oors. 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 fl oor.
