6.3 Leaving the driver’s cabin using the emergency rope-down facility

In addition to an emergency lowering device, load-handling trucks with a liftable ope-

rator seat having a reach of more than 3 m are equipped with a facility (emergency

rope-down facility) for the operator to reach the floor in the event the movement of the

elevated operator seat is blocked.

In the event the driver’s cabin is blocked and cannot be lowered manually, the ope-

rator must leave the cabin by means of the emergency rope-down facility.

The operator must be instructed in the handling of the emergency rope-down facility.

To leave the cabin using the emergency rope-down facility, proceed as follows:

– Turn the key switch to “0”.

– Push the main switch (Emergency-

STOP).

– Take out the emergency rope-down

device from the storage container

(39).

– Secure the rope-down device to the

eyelet (38) to the left or right of the

overhead guard.

– Uncoil and lower the rope without

loops; do not lead the rope over sharp

edges.

– Strap on emergency belt or harness.

– Secure belt to the rope-down device.
