Safety checks to be performed at regular intervals and following any unusual

incidents

Carry out a safety check in accordance with national regulations. EP has a special safety

department with trained personnel to carry out such checks.

The truck must be inspected at least annually (refer to national regulations) or after any

unusual event by a qualied inspector. The inspector shall assess the condition of the truck

from purely a safety viewpoint, without regard to operational or economic circumstances. The

inspector shall be su󰀩ciently instructed and experienced to be able to assess the condition of

the truck and the e󰀨ectiveness of the safety mechanisms based on the technical regulations

and principles governing the inspection of truck trucks.

A thorough test of the truck must be undertaken with regard to its technical condition from a

safety aspect. The truck must also be examined for damage caused by possible improper

use.

A test report shall be provided. The test results must be kept for at least the next 2

inspections.

The owner is responsible for ensuring that faults are immediately rectied.

A test plate is attached to the truck as proof that it has passed the safety inspection.This

plate indicates the due date for the next inspection.

Final decommissioning, disposal

Final, proper decommissioning or disposal of the truck must be performed in accordance

with the regulations of the country of application. In particular, regulations governing the

disposal of batteries, fuels, Hydraulic oil, plastic and electronic and electrical systems must

be observed.

Any repairs or maintenance to the truck must be performed only by trained and authorized

technicians.

Tire replacement

The quality of tyres a󰀨ects the stability and performance of the truck. When replacing

tyres tted at the factory, only use the manufacturer’s original spare parts. Otherwise the

data sheet specications of the truck cannot be guaranteed. When changing wheels and

tyres, ensure that the truck does not slew (e.g. when replacing wheels always left and right

simultaneously).

Only original tires have been certied by our quality assurance service. To ensure safe and

reliable operation of the fork truck, only tires of the manufacturer must be used.
