Using the truck
Basic information on explosion protection
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
The truck may only be operated in the
potentially explosive areas for which it is
approved!
– Check the area of application by com-
paring it with the nameplate informa-
tion.
– If the area of application is not clear,
ask the safety officer.
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
Working on a truck within potentially ex-
plosive areas can lead to explosions in
the surrounding atmosphere. No work
may be performed on the truck in poten-
tially explosive areas.
– Work on the truck must only be car-
ried out outside potentially explosive
areas.
– Where necessary, inform the safety
officer.
Examples of this work are:
●
Battery replacement and battery charging
●
Maintenance and repair
●
Settings and safety checks
●
Conversion and retrofitting
●
Transportation and loading
Areas with explosive atmospheres are divided
into zones. Equipment is divided into equip-
ment groups and equipment categories. The
equipment category determines the zones in
which the explosion-protected truck may be
used.
Potentially explosive areas are divided into six
zones. The divisions are based on the proba-
ble frequency and duration with which a dan-
gerous explosive atmosphere can occur. A
distinction is also made between flammable
gases, fumes, vapours and dusts.
Gases and vapours are assigned to tempera-
ture classes on the basis of their ignition
