Safety guidelines for the load-dependant assistance system (load
weight indicator "plus")
The load-dependant assistance system
reduces the risk of tipping and increases the
stability of the truck.
• This is achieved by actively intervening in
the lifting and tilting movements. In addition,
there is the option to intervene in the driving
speed.
• The load centre of gravity i
s not taken
into account. Consult the l
oad capacity
diagram.
To ensure that the system functions reliably,
the following safety guidelines must be ob-
served.
Assistance system
The load-dependant assistance system (load
weight indicator "plus") provides information to
help the driver and reduces the risk of tipping
in line with defined limit values. To reduce
the risk caused by certain impermissible load
states, the load-dependant assistance system
actively intervenes in the controller. This only
applies where the truck is being used for its
intended purpose.
NOTE
Assistance systems are only designed to offer
a supporting function and do not guarantee
safety. The responsibility for operating
the truck in a safe manner always lies with
the driver. Even in the event of a potential
malfunction, the driver must have full control
of the truck at all times.
Hazard assessment
The load-dependant assistance system
changes the driving characteristics and op-
eration of the truck and therefore influences
the hazard assessment. It is therefore neces-
sary to adapt the hazard assessment in line
with national health and safety directives, and
to train the driver on how to operate the truck
with the load-dependant assistance system.
It is imperative that drivers familiarise them-
selves with how to operate the truck with the
load-dependant assistance system.
Application conditions
The load-dependant ass
istance system is not
suitable for applicati
ons in which the system
components may be damag
ed by exposure
to dirt, chemicals or bu
lky loads. This applies
to the sensors of the as
sistance system in
particular.
If a limit value is approached or reached, a
visual and audible signal is provided via the
display unit. At the same time, the assistance
system intervenes in the movements of the
truck. In this case, the driver must leave the
critical area.

Service work may only be carried out by
competent persons. See the section entitled
"Competent person".
Residual risks
Despite careful work and compliance with
all applicable standards and regulations, the
possibility of other dangers when using the
industrial truck cannot be entirely excluded.
The industrial truck and its possible attach-
ments comply with current safety regulations.
Nevertheless, even when the truck is used for
its proper purpose and all instructions are fol-
lowed, some residual risk cannot be excluded.
