-
Do not operate a hand pallet truck until you have checked its
condition. Give special attention to wheels, handle, forks, lift and
lever controls, and brakes (if so equipped). Do not operate damaged
or faulty trucks. Do not attempt repairs unless you are trained and
authorised to do so.
-
Operate hand pallet trucks only from the designated operating
position. Never place any part of your body in the lifting mechanism
or under the forks or load. Do not carry passengers.
-
Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads. Use special care
when handling long, high or wide loads to avoid losing the load,
striking bystanders, or tipping the truck.
-
Do not overload the truck. Check capacity plate for carrying
capacity information. Overloading may cause truck to perform
incorrectly.
-
The capacity of the truck assumes an evenly distributed load with
the centre of the load being at the halfway point of the length of
the forks.
-
Make sure that length of forks suits the length of the pallet.
-
Lower the forks to lowest height when the truck is not being used.
-
Hand pallet trucks are for general operation on level, flat hard
surfaces. If ramps are encountered the optional handbrake can be
ordered, or the truck may be stopped in emergencies by operating the
lowering control, which will lower the load to the ground.
-
Stopping the truck, if the truck has to be stopped in this manner,
care should be taken, so that no part of you body is near or under
the load. It is important, not to operate a hand pallet truck on a
grade with loads that are, too heavy to be easily handled by the
operator.
-
Since these are manually operated trucks, they are not to be used
by operators that are not physically capable of safely handling the
trucks with a load.
