Maintenance Safety Regulation
Servicing and maintenance personnel
Only qualified and authorised personnel are
allowed to perform maintenance work. Regu-
lar safety checks and checks after unusual
incidents must be performed by a competent
person. The competent person must conduct
their evaluation and assessment from a safety
standpoint, unaffected by operational and eco-
nomic conditions. The competent person must
have sufficient knowledge and experience to
be able to assess the condition of a truck
and the effectiveness of the protective devices
in accordance with technical conventions and
the principles for testing trucks.
Daily inspection procedures and simple main-
tenance checks, e.g. checking the hydraulic oil
level or checking the fluid level in the battery,
may be performed by operators. This does not
require training as described above.

DANGER
There is a risk to life if the truck tips over!
If not raised and jacked up properly, the truck may

– Only have the truck raised and jacked up by the
authorised service centre.
– Only jack the truck up at the points specified in the
workshop manual.
The truck must be raised and jacked up for

and the corresponding hoists is described in
the truck's workshop manual.
Cleaning operations

cleaning the truck. Prior to commencing clean-
ing operations, all safety measures that are
required to prevent sparking (e.g. by short cir-
cuits) have to be taken. For battery operated
trucks, the battery plug must be removed. On-
ly weak pressure, weak compressed air and
non-conducting, antistatic brushes must be
used for the cleaning of electric or electronic
assemblies.
Work on the electric system
Work on the electric system of the truck
must only be performed by personnel specially
trained for such operations. Before commenc-
ing any work on the electric system, all meas-
