Explanation:

Question 38

When driving a lift truck with a load up or down a ramp, driving with the load uphill (option b) is the correct safety practice. Driving with the load downhill (option a) can cause the load to shift and the truck to tip. Zigzagging (option c) is not a safe way to reduce speed on a ramp.

Lift truck safety rules state that you should turn off the ignition if you are more than 25 feet away or lose sight of your lift truck. So the correct answer is True.

Lift trucks steer with their rear wheels, which causes the back end to swing outside the drive wheel path. This is a characteristic of lift truck steering. So the answer is True.

Answer:

b. Drive with the load uphill
