THE VEHICLE IS YOU.

Be A Safe Operator
DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY, BE ALERT
• Keep the gates closed when you are elevated.
• Drive with the gates open when the platform is lowered.
You may need to get off the vehicle quickly to avoid injury.
• Don't climb on the rails or any other part of the vehicle.
•Keep your entire body inside the operator area, no matter
how slow the vehicle is moving. A hand or foot caught
between the vehicle and a solid object will be crushed
or even cut off.
• Avoid sudden movement of controls. Learn to use them
smoothly at a moderate, even rate. Sudden control changes
can cause loads to shift or fall. Make sure loads are secure.
• 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.
• Always check that you can clear overhead objects.
• Check clearances before raising or lowering.
• Be extra careful if you must use your vehicle in an area
where there is a risk of falling objects.
• Make sure you have a clear view in the direction you're
traveling. Look where you're going and slow down in
congested areas.
•Slow down and be extra careful on wet or slippery floors.
• Look where you are going before you change direction
of travel. See that you have room to drive and turn.
MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE IS READY
• Inspect your vehicle before using it (see page 31). If it's
not working right, or something is broken, report the
problem to your supervisor. Don't use the vehicle.
•In an open area, check all vehicle operations. Make certain
everything is working right, especially before operating
around other people.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO DRIVE
•Don't use this vehicle unless you are trained and authorized.
• Know how your vehicle works, and the hazards that go
with it. Don't drive the vehicle if you have any doubts.
• Find the Data Label on the mast. Make certain you
understand all the information on it. Such as: capacities,
total weight of vehicle, vehicle type and serial number.
This vehicle may not be permitted in areas where there
are fire hazards. Check with your supervisor.
• Make sure your hands and shoes are clean and dry. Also
make sure that your clothing is proper for the job.
