what should you do before raising the forks or platform on your lift truck? make sure the lift truck has stopped moving. check above for sprinkler heads, light fixtures, or other obstructions. step off the deadman pedal. sound your horn and yell \clear!\
Before raising the forks or platform on a lift truck, safety is crucial. The lift truck must be stationary (stopped moving) to prevent instability. Checking above for obstructions (sprinkler heads, light fixtures, etc.) avoids damage and accidents. The deadman pedal is for safety during operation and should not be stepped off prematurely. Sounding the horn and yelling "Clear!" is more of a general warning before moving rather than specifically before raising the forks/platform.
