SAFETY
1.3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
OPERATOR
1.3.1 FOREWORD
WARNING
The risk of accident while using, servicing or repairing your
lift truck can be restricted if you follow the safety
instructions and safety measures detailed in these
instructions.
Failure to respect the safety and operating
instructions, or the instructions for repairing or
servicing your lift truck may lead to serious, even fatal
accident.
• Only the operations and maneuvers described in
this operator's manual must be performed. The
manufacturer cannot predict all possible risky
situations. Consequently, the safety instructions
given in the operator's manual and on the lift truck
itself are not exhaustive.
• At any time, as an operator, you must envisage,
within reason, the possible risk to yourself, to others
or to the lift truck itself when you use it.
WARNING
In order to reduce or prevent any danger with a MANITOU-
approved attachment, follow the instructions in the section -
ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS AS OPTIONS ON THE
RANGE: INTRODUCTION.
1.3.2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATOR'S MANUAL
• Read the operator's manual carefully.
• The operator's manual must always be in good
condition and kept in the place provided on the lift
truck.
• You must report any plates and stickers which are
no longer legible, or which are damaged.
AUTHORISATION FOR USE IN FRANCE
(or see current legislation in other countries)
• Only qualified, authorized personnel can use the lift
truck. This authorization is given in writing by the
appropriate person in the establishment with
respect to the use of lift trucks and must be carried
permanently by the operator.
• The operator is not competent to authorize the
driving of the lift truck by another person.
MAINTENANCE
• The operator must immediately advise his superior
if his lift truck is not in good working order or does
not obey the safety notice.
• The operator is prohibited from carrying out any
repairs or adjustments himself, unless he has been
trained for this purpose. He must keep the lift truck
properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.
• The operator is responsible for carrying out daily
maintenance
• The operator is responsible for deciding and
adjusting the frequency of cleaning necessary to
prevent the risk of fire ensuing from the build-up of
flammable material(s). The operator must pay
special attention to all the areas of the lift truck
where these risk materials are likely to accumulate.
TYRES
DANGER
Do not use the lift truck if the tyres are incorrectly inflated,
damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your
own safety or that of others at risk, or cause damage to the
lift truck itself.
The fitting of foam inflated tyres is prohibited and is
not guaranteed by the manufacturer, excepting prior
authorization.
• The operator must ensure tyres are adapted to the
nature of the ground. There are optional solutions,
consult your dealer.
• SAND tyres.
• Farm Tyres.
• Snow chains.
• The lift truck's four tyres must be of the same brand
and of the same usage category (normal, snow or
special), have the same structure (radial or
diagonal) and have the same degree of tread wear.
• In the event of tyre replacement, use tyres
authorized by MANITOU that are of the same type
and dimensions. Using different tyres voids the lift
truck's type approval and you may be liable.
• If you are replacing just one of the lift truck's tyres
(e.g. because it is damaged), we recommend
choosing a tyre with the same degree of wear as the
remaining tyres so as not to damage the
transmission's kinematic chain.
MODIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK
For your safety and that of others, you must not change
the structure and settings of the various components
used in your lift truck (hydraulic pressure, calibrating
limiters, engine speed, addition of extra equipment,
