General safety information
• People must stay away from the working
area (danger area) of the truck. If a person
does enter the danger area, all movements
of the truck must be stopped immediately
and the person must be directed away from
the area.
• The truck may only be operated from the
operator’s cab.
• When travelling without loa
d, lower fork to
the floor level.
• When driving with a load, the load must be
lifted a few centimetres off the ground (clear
of the ground, max. 500 mm).
• The driver must keep all body parts within
the contours of the driver’s compartment.
The driver must refrain from sticking his
head out to gain a better view and from
reaching into the area of the moving lift
mast, because even doing this is highly
dangerous.
• Aside from the driver, th
ere must be no other
person present on the tru
ck, unless the
truck has additional equ
ipment to enable
operation with two perso
ns.
• If there are marked roadways, the truck is
to be moved only within these markings for
safety reasons.
• It is never permitted for anyone to stand
beneath a raised load or driver’s compart-
ment.
• Basically, it is the dri
ver’s duty to adapt his
driving speed to the loc
al conditions and
the respective situati
on. When cornering
in particular, attenti
on must be paid to the
overall height and the c
entre of gravity,
which will be high as a re
sult.
• The condition of the floor surface influences
the braking distance of the truck. The driver
must take account of this in his driving and
braking style.
