Basic principles for safe operatio

You should therefore contact the manufac-
turer before carrying out any modification. No
modification that may affect stability is permit-
ted without the manufacturer’s authorisation.
Any constructional modification or transfor-
mation of your truck is forbidden without prior
written permission from the manufacturer.
Authorisation from the relevant authority may
also be required.
You may only make a modification or alteration
to your truck, if the manufacturer is no longer
in business and is unlikely to be taken over by
another company, and only on condition that:
• the modification or altera
tion is designed,
tested and implemented by
one or more
engineers who are experts
inthefieldof
industrial trucks and the
ir safety
• records are kept of the design, test(s)
and implementation of the modification
or alteration
• appropriate changes are approved and
made to the capacity plate(s), decals, labels
and operating instructions
• a permanent and clearly v
isible label is
attached to the truck ind
icating the nature of
the modification or alter
ation as well as the
date of the modification o
r alteration, and
the name and address of th
e company that
carried out the work.

A doctor or the manufa
