4.11 Operating the lift mechanism and integrated attachments
WARNING!
Accident risk when operating the lifting device and integrated attachments
Other people can be injured in the truck's hazardous area.
The hazardous area is defined as the area in which people are at risk from the truck
movement, the load handler, attachments etc. This also includes areas which can be
reached by falling loads or lowering operating equipment.
Apart from the operator (in the normal operating position) there should be no other
people in the truck's hazardous area.
XInstruct other people to move out of the hazardous area of the truck. Stop working
with the truck if people do not leave the hazardous area.
XThe truck must be prevented from being used by unauthorised people if people do
not leave the hazardous area despite the warning.
XOnly carry loads that have been correctly secured and positioned. Use suitable
protection measure to prevent parts of the load from tipping or falling down.
XNever exceed the maximum loads specified in the capacity chart.
XNever stand underneath a raised load handler.
XDo not stand on the load handler.
XDo not lift other people on the load handler.
XDo not reach through the mast.
XThe controls should only be operated from the driver’s seat, and never suddenly.
XThe driver must be instructed in how to operate the lifting device and the
attachments.
NOTE
When the driver's seat is not occupied, the control lever is mechanically locked
in centre position.
If the driver leaves the industrial truck without moving the travel direction switch to the
neutral, the control block will remain locked in the centre position at first when the
driver returns to the driver's seat. The control lever is not released again until the
driver has moved the travel direction switch to the neutral. This safety function also
takes effect if the driver gets up off the seat for longer than 1.5 seconds without
leaving the vehicle. In this case as well the transmission must be switched once to
neutral. If the industrial truck is equipped with belt lock control (o) the belt must also
be closed again to release the control lever.
Z When the controls are released they automatically revert to neutral and the lifting
mechanism remains in the position it has reached.
When the mechanical end stop has been reach for the relevant functions (there will
be a noise from the pressure relief valve) immediately move the control lever back to
its original position.
