Operation 5
Driving
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the drive direction and
have a sufficient view of the driving lane.
In a reach truck, the driver’s v
isibility may
be restricted by the lift mast o
r the load in
particular. The driver must be
sure that the
route is clear, particularl
y when travelling in
the load direction.
Loads that impair visibility must be transported
in the truck’s drive direction.
If this is not possible, a second person acting
as a guide must walk in front of the truck.
In this case, the driver mu
st only move at
walking pace and with extr
a care. The truck
must be stopped immediate
ly if eye contact
with the guide is lost.
Additional rear-view mirrors may only be used
for observing the road area on the load side
of the truck and not for travelling in the load
direction. If visual aids (mirror, monitor) are
required to achieve sufficient visibility, it is
necessary to practise using them. Extra care
should be taken when travelling in the load
direction if you are using visual aids.
When using attachments, special conditions
apply; see the chapter entitled "Fitting attach-
ments".
Any glass and mirrors m
ust always be clean
and free of ice.

Panoramic mirror
The panoramic mirror (1) may only be used for
observing the road area on the load side of the
truck and not for travelling in the load direction.
Extra care should be taken when travelling in
the load direction if you are using visual aids.
The panoramic mirror must always be clean
and free of ice.
Any damage to the pan
oramic mirror that
could restrict the d
river’s visibility must be
rectified immediate
ly.
The position of the panoramic mirror may only
be changed in such a way that the area behind
the lift mast remains visible.
