C 2
Attachment of accessories: The attachment or installation of accessories, and
modifications and/or additions to the hardware or software, which adversely affect or
change the nominal power, the safe operation, the emergency devices or other
functions of the industrial truck, are permissible only with the prior, express, written
approval of the manufacturer.
If such approval is granted, the nameplates, markings or warnings with regard to load
capacity, operation, and maintenance must be altered accordingly.
Local authority approval must be obtained if necessary.
Local authority approval does not, however, release the owner from his or her duty to
obtain approval from the manufacturer.
If the industrial truck is fitted with accessories, including fork extensions, the user
must ensure that the truck is labeled to identify the accessories and that the
approximate weight of the truck and the combined accessories is shown, together
with the load capacity of the truck and accessories at maximum lift with a laterally
centered load.
If the modifications are associated with alterations and repairs to the basic functions,
these changes must be made in accordance with the criteria and procedures set
down by the manufacturer.
The basic functions comprise the following elements:
– Steering (guidance)
– Travel speed
– Controller and sensors
– Lift and load influencing
Nameplate: We recommend that you copy the details from the nameplate onto the
diagram below to ensure that this important data is available to the operator and that
this Operating Manual is not accidentally used for another machine.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that all nameplates, warning signs and
instruction signs are in place and are legible (see "Position of signs and nameplates"
in Chapter D).
QwW The use of an industrial truck involves certain risks, which cannot be fully
excluded even with the use of electrical devices; these risks can, however,
be minimized through intelligence, consideration, and common sense. It is,
therefore, essential that operators are qualified, diligent, and physically and
mentally fit, and have been thoroughly trained in the safe use of the machine
and in materials handling techniques.
