Safety guidelines
It is essential that operating personnel and
repair personnel observe the" rules for the
proper use of industrial trucks" enclosed with
these operating instructions.
Examples of those listed are:
• Operating industrial trucks
• Driving licence
• Driveways and working areas
• Rights, duties and rules of behaviour for the
driver
• Special operating areas
• Information regarding setting off, driving
and braking
• Information for maintenance and repair
• Regular tests
• Disposal of greases, oils and batteries
The operating company or the person it has
commissioned must ensure that the driver
understands all safety information and that
all guidelines and safety regulations are
observed.
During training, the driver must familiarise
themselves with the following:
• The operating conditio
ns of the working
areas
• The specific technical characteristics of the
industrial truck
• The operation of attachments
Practise driving, con
trol and steering oper-
ations with an unloade
d truck until they are
completely mastered.
Only then can a loaded
industrial truck be us
ed for practice.
Safety information
DANGER
The industrial truck must not be used by unauthori-
sed persons.
Only trained persons and those authorised for
operation may have access to the industrial truck.
DANGER
In operating areas with magnetic fields that have a
magnetic flux density greater than 5 mT, unintentio-
nal truck and lift mast movements cannot be entirely
excluded under unfavourable circumstances.
For magnetic fields with magnetic flux densities
greater than 5 mT, components developed espe-
cially for this purpose must be used.
Contact your authorised dealer.
DANGER
Safety systems (e.g. the seat switch) are there for
safety.
Safety systems must never be disabled, regardless
of the kind.
DANGER
Any additional bores or welding to the overhead
guard will compromise its rigidity.
It is therefore strictly prohibited to drill holes in the
overhead guard or to weld to it.
CAUTION
Welding operations on other parts of the vehicle
can cause damage to the electronics.
Therefore, before performing any welding, always
disconnect the battery and all connections to the
electronic control units.
CAUTION
Different functions are supported by gas springs.
Gas springs are under a high internal pressure of
up to 300 bar.
They must only be removed when not under com-
pression and must not be opened without instructi-
ons. Any kind of damage, lateral forces, buckling,
temperatures in excess of 80° C and heavy conta-
mination must be avoided under all circumstances.
Damaged or defective gas springs must be repla-
ced immediately.
Contact your authorised dealer.
