Maintain a safe distance from the edge of
ramps, platforms, and other similar working
surfaces.
When powered units are driven on and off
highway trucks or trailers, the brakes on the
highway trucks or trailers shall be applied
and wheel chocks or other positive me-
chanical means shall be used to prevent
unintentional movement of highway trucks
and trailers.
When powered units are driven on and off
semitrailers that are not coupled to a trac-
tor, supports may be needed to prevent up-
ending or corner dipping.
Report all accidents involving personnel,
building structures, and equipment to the
supervisor or as directed.
Do not add to, or modify the unit.
Do not block access to fire aisles, stairways
or fire equipment.
Traveling
Observe all traffic regulations including au-
thorized plant speed limits. Under normal
traffic conditions, keep to the right. Maintain
a safe distance, based on speed of travel,
from the unit ahead; keep the unit under
control all times.
Yield the right of way to pedestrians and
emergency vehicles such as ambulances
and fire trucks.
Do not pass another unit traveling in the
same direction at intersections, blind spots,
or at other dangerous locations.
Cross railroad tracks at an angle wherever
possible. Do not park closer than 6 ft (1800
mm) to the nearest rail of a railroad track.
Keep a clear view of the path of travel and
observe for other traffic, personnel, and
safe clearances.
Ascend or descend grades slowly, and with
caution. Avoid turning, if possible, and use
extreme caution on grades, ramps, or in-
clines; normally travel straight up and
down.
Under all travel conditions, operate the unit
at a speed that will permit it to be brought to
a stop in a safe manner.
Make starts, stops, turns, or direction rever-
sals in a smooth manner so as not shift load
and/or overturn the unit.
Do not indulge in stunt driving or horseplay.
Slow down for wet and slippery floors.
Before driving over a dockboard or bridge
plate, be sure that it is properly secured.
Drive carefully and slowly across the dock-
board or bridge plate, and never exceed its
rated capacity.
Do not drive units onto any elevator unless
specially authorized to do so. Do not ex-
ceed the capacity of the elevator. Approach
elevators slowly, and then enter squarely
after the elevator car is properly leveled.
Once on the elevator, neutralize the con-
trols, shut off power, and set brakes. It is
advisable that all other presonnel leave the
elevator before the unit is allowed to enter
or leave.
When negotiating turns, reduce speed to a
safe level consistent with the operating en-
vironment. Make the turns smoothly.
