• Removeone object at a time from shelves

• Placeitems on shelves so that they lie flat and do not wobble

Pallet Jack Use

• Onlypallet jack operators may operate pallet jacks

• Do notexceed the manufacturer's load rated capacity; read the lift capacity plate onthe pallet jack if you are unsure

• Do notride on pallet jacks

• Start and stop the palletjack gradually to prevent the load from slipping

• Pullmanual pallet jacks; push them when going down an incline or passing close towalls or obstacles

• If yourview is obstructed, ask a spotter to assist in guiding the load

• Place theload so that it will not slip, shift or fall; use the straps, if they areprovided, to secure the load

• Forextremely bulky or pressurized items such as gas cylinders, strap or chain theitems to the hand truck

• Tip theload slightly forward so that the tongue of the hand truck goes under the load

• Push thetongue of the hand truck all the way under the load that is to be moved

• Keep thecenter of gravity of the load as low as possible by placing heavier objectsbelow the lighter objects

• Push theload so that the weight will be carried by the axle and not the handles

• If yourview is obstructed, ask a spotter to assist in guiding the load

• Do notwalk backward with the hand truck, unless going up stairs or ramps

• b) Attach the clip at oneend of the bonding wire to the rim of the dispensing container and then attachthe clip at the other end of the bonding wire to the rim of the receivingcontainer.

• c) You are now ready todispense the liquid from the bulk container into the opened receivingcontainer. Upon completion, replace the lid on the receiving container andremove the bonding wire.
