GarageWarrior;
Two suggestions as I want you to have a Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year (No Happy Holidays there 'cause I get confused easily , thanks to the government - there are 11 Federal and 17 different state holidays. So when someone says Happy Holidays to me - I reply which one are you talking about? Seems fair too me. Go to Europe and thy seem to be on Holidays all the time (they mean vacation but 30 days in a row is much - I would not have stayed married for one year if we had that type of national Holiday)
Here are you two suggestions:
1. Get a copy of an operators manual - most folks thing the lift truck works on the teeter tater principal but most accidents happen when the lifts turn over side ways. There is a things called the stability triangle - because most lifts have a 3 point of contact (the rear axles articulate about 1 -2". You may recall the reason all those 3 wheelers off road motor bikes were quickly changed to a 4 wheel design - Philadelphia lawyers got involved.
2. Make certain your life insurance policy is paid up current & doesn't have an escape clause for driving an unsafe vehicle (LOL)
