Crown Equipment PW 3000 Series Automobile User Manual


 
AVOID FALLS
Stay away from the edge of docks and ramps.
Check that bridgeplates and dockboards are secure. Be
certain that either the trailer wheels are chocked or the
trailer is locked to the dock. Check capacities. Be sure
your truck, with load, isn't too heavy for where you are
driving.
Make sure the load you are moving is stable. Center
the load. Be even more careful with long, high or wide
loads. They can be less stable.
Don't take your truck onto an elevator unless you are
authorized. Check the capacity or load limit and make
sure there are no people present. Enter load first and
set the brake.
BE CAREFUL TRAVELING ON RAMPS AND GRADES
Stay out of the path of the truck.
With or without a load, travel with the forks pointed
downgrade.
If a load requires that you travel with the forks upgrade,
be even more careful. Operate the controls from the
side of the truck.
Slow down and don't turn on ramps or grades.

WATCH OUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE
Slow down. Yield or stop for pedestrians.
Use your horn when you come to a crosswalk
or intersection.
Be careful that you don't pin or crush someone.
For example: Never drive your truck toward anyone
standing in front of a fixed object.
Never allow anyone to ride on your truck.
Keep others away from your truck while you're working.
Don't let anyone use your truck unless they are trained
and certified.
Watch out for power unit swing when turning.
WHEN LEAVING YOUR TRUCK
Lower the forks. Turn the truck off or disconnect the
battery.
Avoid parking on inclines. But if you must, block the
wheels of your truck.
