Always drive the truck with the forks as low as possible.

Accelerate, decelerate and steer carefully.
•
Never place any part of your body between the structures of the truck and the fork carriage.
•
Be especially careful when transporting a load that is wider than the truck.
•
Only handle undamaged loads.

Place the load so that its weight rests as evenly as possible on the forks.
•
On slopes and ramps, place yourself above the load.
•
Do not overload the truck.
•
Verify the truck’s lifting capacity from the identification plate, which is fixed to the underside of the tiller arm.
