2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
 Only open bottomed Euro type pallets can be used to raise a load to
a higher level.
 DO NOT use a faulty or damaged truck.
 Before using the truck all parts and working mechanisms should be
checked for wear or damage. Pay particular attention to the wheels,
handle and fork lifting and lowering mechanism. Any parts found to be
worn, damaged or suspect should be repaired or replaced before the
truck is used.
 All repairs must be carried out by an authorised Sealey service agent.
 Personnel who operate the truck and those in the vicinity of operation
should wear safety shoes with reinforced toe caps at all times.
 Never place any part of your body in the lifting mechanism or under
the forks or load.
 DO NOT allow others to ride on the truck.
 DO NOT lift or move unstable or loosely stacked loads.
 Take special care when moving long, high or wide loads in order not
to dislodge the load by striking any architectural features, permanent
fixtures, vehicles or people in the area of operation.
 Always ensure that the load is evenly distributed across the forks with
the centre of the load being at the halfway point of the length of the
forks.

DO NOT overload the truck - refer to the specification for maximum
permitted load.
 If a load is left unattended even for a very short period of time it
should be lowered to the ground.
 When not in use the truck should be left in the lowered position.
 Ensure that the width and length of the forks is correct for the pallet to
be lifted.
 Ensure that the truck is sufficiently inserted into the pallet to lift the full
width of the pallet.
 Use the truck on level, flat, hard surfaces.
 DO NOT use truck on sloping or uneven ground and DO NOT attempt
to negotiate curbs, steps or ramps.
