1.3. LOADING OPERATIONS BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET CAUGHT IN THE MAST STRUCTURE Never put your hands or feet into the mast structure. There is danger that you will get caught in moving parts and be seriously injured. DON'T CLIMB ON THE MAST OR LOAD BACKREST If you climb on the mast or load backrest, there is a danger that you could get caught up in the moving parts or fall off. USE A PALLET OR SKID OF SUFFICIENT STRENGTH Always be sure that the pallets and skids have ample strength. If broken or damaged pallets or skids are used, there is a risk that the load may fall. Always check that the load is positioned securely and safely on the pallet before moving the truck.
HANDLE A LONG OR WIDE LOAD WITH EXTRA CARE Be extremely careful when carrying long or wide loads. Raise the load slowly and be careful not to touch anything in the surrounding area. Keep the load as low as possible and be sure to maintain the balance. When turning, operate slowly and be careful not to let the load shift or move. 1-15
