Risk assessment
Within the scope of validity of the CE guide-
lines, the operating company must create
op-
erating instructions
on the basis of a risk as-
sessment. The purpose of the risk assess-
ment is to identify dangers and the associated
risks that could occur due to the product or the
application of the product in the specific place
of use and under the application conditions at
this place of use. We can help you to com-
plete the risk assessment. The operating in-
structions are intended to warn against the
identified dangers and provide information on
possible remedial actions.
We recommend integrating these operating in-
structions into the operating procedures for
the specific place of use.
Residual risks
Despite observation of all pertinent safety reg-
ulations for the design and construction of our
trucks and despite proper use by the operating
company, residual risks can occur during op-
eration. We refer to this specifically in the indi-
vidual chapters.
Please heed all provided safety warnings.
Regular testing
This industrial truck must be tested in accord-
ance with our specifications by a specialist
(expert) at least once per year or after any un-
usual incidents.
Our test instructions summarise all activities
that must be performed for the purposes of
detecting damage or defects that have an ef-
fect on safety. The requirements pursuant to
FEM 4.004 are included in these test instruc-
tions.
A log must be created for the tests.
If defects are found, they must be rectified be-
fore the truck is next commissioned. If serious
repairs are required (e.g. after an accident), it
