How do you dismount a forklift?

In: Cars & Vehicles, Miscellaneous Vehicles, Heavy Equipment [Edit categories]

Answer:

Forklift Trucks should be dismounted in reverse, maintaining 3 points of contact with the truck at all times:

1 Hand on the grab handle (or the overhead guard)
1 Hand on the seatback
1 Foot on the footwell

This reduces the risk of slips and potentially quite serious injury.

Never use the steering wheel as a handhold while mounting or dismounting as it can damage the hydraulic steering pump.
