• Make sure that the rail car brakes are set and the wheels
are blocked while loading or unloading. Do this check so
that the rail car will not move due to the movement of the
lift truck in and out of the rail car.
• Check the condition of the driving surface. Make sure
the floor will support the weight of the lift truck and the
load.
• Make sure the dock board is secured, in good condition,
and of the proper capacity.
• When entering a rail car, the operator can enter at an
angle (if the dock plate or bridge is wide enough). This
will reduce the turning required after entering.
• Never leave a parked truck on a dock plate.
Attachments
NOTE: Make sure the Nameplate is correct if an attach-
ment has been installed.
If an attachment is installed on the lift truck, make sure the
operating instructions are available and understood before
operating the attachment. For the operation of attachment
control levers, see Figure 8 and Table 4.
Attachments must be removed or installed by trained per-
sonnel only.
