Risk of accidents and component damage

field and there is no successor to the business; operating companies must however:
– Ensure that the changes to be made are planned, tested and performed by an
engineer specialising in industrial trucks taking safety into account.
– Keep permanent records of plans, tests and completion of changes.
– Carry out and have authorised the respective changes to the capacity data plates,
decals and stickers as well as the operating instructions and workshop manuals.
– Attach a permanent and clearly visible marking to the truck indicating the type of
changes made, the date of the changes and the name and address of the
organisation responsible for the work.
NOTICE
Only original spare parts are subject to the manufacturer's quality control. To ensure
safe and reliable operation, use only the manufacturer's spare parts.
