OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: When using the truck there are some operations that, in spite of all
the safety precautions, may cause it to overturn unless performed with care.
The main causes of tipping over are:
•
Turning too fast.
•
Driving and turning on a slope.
•
Driving with raised loads.
•
Driving with a side-positioned load.
•
Driving on a slope with a load facing downwards.
•
Loads out of size.
•
Driving with swinging loads.
•
When transporting liquids, the centre of gravity inside one of the containers
loaded may change; this can cause the truck to tip up as a result of the force of
inertia, for example when switching on, braking or on bends.
•
Ramps or steps.
•
Loading operations on a lorry, for example if the lorry engine is switched on
while the forks are still raised above the loading area, if the ramp is not in the
right position or if a truck wheel is beyond the edge/limit.
•
Driving over rough ground.
DANGER
If the truck should tip over try and keep body parts as far as possible from the
point of impact with the ground.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
Because of the specific skills required, it is advisable that each individual operator
follows a special training course, even if he has already obtained a license entitling
him to drive lift trucks in general.
The following pages contain a list of some of the basic regulations and manoeuvres
that should be employed when using the truck.
