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 industrial 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).
