HEALTH & SAFETY

• Ensure both the truck and attachment are capable of handling the intended load and its contents.
• Operators must keep clear of the mechanism whilst in operation.
• Ensure the safety lock mechanism is engaged until the emptying operation is required.
• Do not drive into the fork pockets without retracting the thumb screws.
