STEERING AND DRIVING
You will need to drive your truck in
both the direction of the forks (forks first)
and also in the direction of the power unit
(power unit first or forks trailing). Steering is not
the same in both directions. Be careful. Drive slowly
until you get used to all the controls.
TRUCKS THAT LOOK ALIKE CAN BE DIFFERENT
This style truck can be built with one of two different types
of steering. Your company has selected the type which is
best for your work area.
Caution: If you ever drive a different RR Series truck, be
careful. The steering may be different (see page 28).
Know the Hazards
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.
