Lesson 1Interaction wid pedestrians an' forklifts: right-of-way rules, communication, usin' spotters an' audible warningsDis section covers safe interaction between UTVs, pedestrians, an' forklifts. It explains right-of-way rules, eye contact, hand signals, spotter use, an' audible warnings to prevent collisions in aisles, crossin's, an' shared work zones.

It covers pre-reverse checks, use of alarms an' spotters, parkin' brake application, gear selection, wheel chocks on slopes, an' securin' de UTV when unattended.

It explains speed choice, steerin' inputs, an' load placement to reduce tip or rollover risk on flat ground, uneven surfaces, an' when operatin' on slopes.

It emphasizes smooth control inputs, correct gear selection, an' methods to prevent load shift or loss.
