- Never stack loads on uneven ground, they may tip over.
- The load or the attachment must not be left just above a structure for long periods at a time because of the descending
mast. In such a case, a constant watch must be kept and the height of the forks or the attachment readjusted if necessary.
- When working near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the lift truck
and the aerial line.
IMPORTANT
You must consult your local electrical agency.
You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the lift truck too close to power cables.
In the event of high winds, do not carry out handling work that jeopardizes the stability of the lift truck and its load, particularly if the load catches the wind badly.
D - VISIBILITY
- The safety of people within the lift truck's working area, as well as that of the lift truck itself and the operator are depend
on good operator visibility of the lift truck's immediate vicinity in all situations and at all times.
- This lift truck has been designed to allow good operator visibility (direct or indirect by means of rear-view mirrors) of the
immediate vicinity of the lift truck while traveling with no load and with the mast in the transport position.
- Special precautions must be taken if the size of the load restricts visibility towards the front:
• Moving in reverse,
• Site layout,
• Assisted by a person directing the maneuver (while standing outside the truck's area of travel), making sure to keep
this person clearly in view at all times,
• In any event, avoid reversing over long distances.
- If visibility of your road is inadequate, ask someone to assist by directing the maneuver (while standing outside the truck's
area of travel), making sure to keep this person clearly in view at all times.
- Keep all components affecting visibility in a clean, properly adjusted state and in good working order (e.g. windscreens,
windows, windscreen wipers, windscreen washers, driving and work lights, rear-view mirrors).
E - STARTING THE LIFT TRUCK
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
The lift truck must only be started up or maneuvered when the operator is sitting in the driver’s cab, with his seat belt adjusted and fastened.
- If necessary to tow the lift truck, the transmission must be placed in the neutral position (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: SERVICING
SCHEDULE).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Check the closing and locking of the hood(s).
- Ensure that the forward/reverse selector is set to neutral.
- Turn the ignition key to the position I to switch on the ignition.
- Check all control instruments at regular intervals during use, so as to quickly detect any faults and to be able to correct
them without any delay.
- If an instrument does not show the correct display, switch off the ignition and immediately carry out the necessary
operations.
