POWER UNIT SWING
Be careful turning while traveling forks first. The power
unit will swing wide in the opposite direction. Make sure
you have clearance, and watch out for people in the area.
SLOW DOWN FOR SPILLS OR WET FLOORS
Powder or liquid spills can cause slippery floors. Slow
down or you could lose control of steering and braking.
Be careful and allow for a longer stopping distance.
Don't run over objects on the floor.
STEERING
You control steering by moving the control handle from side to side.
For example: This picture shows the directions the truck can turn when
the control handle is moved to the approximate position shown.
