Medical equipment, such as pacemakers or
hearing aids, may not work properly when the
truck is in operation.
– Ask your doctor or the manufacturer of the
medical equipment to confirm that the medi-
cal equipment is sufficiently protected
against electromagnetic interference.
Exercise caution when handling gas
springs and accumulators
WARNING
Gas springs are under high pressure. Improper re-
moval results in an elevated risk of injury.
For ease of operation, various functions on the truck
can be supported by gas springs. Gas springs are
complex components that are subject to high internal
pressures (up to 300 bar). They may under no cir-
cumstances be opened unless instructed to do so,
and may be installed only when not under pressure.
If required, the authorised service centre will de-
pressurise the gas spring in accordance with the reg-
ulations before removal. Gas springs must be dep-
ressurised before recycling.
– Avoid damage, lateral forces, buckling, tempera-
tures over 80°C and heavy contamination.
– Damaged or defective gas springs must be
changed immediately.
– Contact the authorised service centre.
WARNING
Accumulators are under high pressure. Improper in-
stallation of an accumulator results in an elevated
risk of injury.
Before starting work on the accumulator it must be
depressurised.
– Contact the authorised service centre.
Length of the fork arms
DANGER
Risk of accident due to the incorrect selection of
fork arms!
– The fork arms must match the depth of the load.
If the fork arms are too short, the load may fall
off the arms after it has been picked up. In
