Introduction 1
Intended use
Intended use
The industrial truck may only be used as
permitted.
The industrial truck is used for moving and
lifting the loads indicated on the capacity rating
plate.
Damages and defects
Damages and other defects t
o industrial trucks
or to attachments must be re
ported to the
Supervisor immediately. I
ndustrial trucks and
attachments which are not s
afe to operate
may not be used until they ha
ve been properly
repaired.
Safety installations and switches may not be
removed or rendered unusable. Specified set-
tings may only be changed with the approval
of the manufacturer.
Danger areas
Danger areas are those areas in which
persons are in danger as a result of the
movements of industrial trucks, their operating
equipment, their load carrying devices (e.g.
their attachments) or the loaded goods. This
also includes the area which can be reached
by falling goods or lowering or falling operating
equipment and devices.
People must not stand in
the danger area of
an industrial truck.
Working areas
Only the areas approved by the operating
company or its representative may be used for
transportation purposes. Loads may only be
deposited or stored at the intended places.
In operating areas with magnetic fields that
have a magnetic flux density greater than 5
mT, unintentional truck and lift mast move-
ments cannot be entirely excluded under un-
favourable circumstances. In this case com-
ponents developed especially for this purpose
must be used.
Driving routes
Driving routes shall be sufficiently paved,
level and free of objects. Drain channels and
railways crossings, etc., shall be levelled and,
if necessary, covered with ramps in such a way
that they can be driven over without bumps as
far as possible.
Industrial trucks shall onl
ybeusedonroutes
without sharp curves, exces
sive slopes and
gates which are too narrow or
too low.
Inclines used by industrial trucks shall not ex-
ceed the limits specified by the manufacturer
and must have an adequately rough surface.
Level and smooth transitions at the upper and
lower end shall prevent the load from touching
the floor or causing damages to the chassis.
The admissible area and point load of driving
lanes or routes may not be exceeded. There
shall be an adequate clearance between the
highest parts of industrial trucks or the load
and the fixed parts of the surrounding areas.
The EU Directive 89/654
/EEC (Minimum
Regulations for Health
and Safety at Work)
shall be observed. The r
espective national
regulations apply for non
-EU countries.
Danger points on driving lanes or routes shall
be secured or marked by the customary road
traffic signs and by additional warning signs, if
necessary.
When driving on public roads, the correspond-
ing regulations must be observed, as well as
country-specific restrictions for winter road
conditions.
Fire protection
The operating company is re
sponsible for
adequate fire protection in
the vicinity of the
industrial truck. Dependi
ng on the form of use,
it is responsible for addit
ional fire protection
on the industrial truck.
Enquiries should
be directed to the respo
nsible supervisory
authority in case of do
ubt.
