To OWNERS, USERS, and OPERATORS:
The safe and efficient operation of a lift truck requires skill and
alertness on the part of the operator. To develop the skill required,
the operator must:
•Receive training, pursuant to OSHA 1910.178(l), in the
proper operation of THIS truck.
•Understand the capabilities and limitations of the truck.
•Become familiar with the construction of the truck and see
that it is maintained in good condition.
•Read and properly understand the warnings, instructions,
and operating procedures in this manual.
In addition, a qualified person, experienced in lift truck operation,
must guide a new operator through several driving and load
handling operations before the new operator attempts to operate
the truck alone.
It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that the operator
can see, hear, and has the physical and mental ability to operate
the equipment safely.
Various laws and regulations require the employer to train lift truck
operators. These laws and regulations include:
•Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) (USA)
•Canada Material Handling Regulations
This Operating Manual is the original instruction and contains
information necessary for the operation and maintenance of a
basic fork truck. Optional equipment is sometimes installed that
