Residual risks
Residual dangers, residual risks
Despite careful working and compliance with
standards and regulations, the occurrence of
other risks when using the truck cannot be
entirely excluded.
The truck and all other system components
comply with current safety requirements. Nev-
ertheless, even when the truck is used for
its proper purpose and all instructions are fol-
lowed, some residual risk cannot be excluded.
Even beyond the narrow danger areas of the
truck itself, a residual risk cannot be excluded.
Persons in this area around the truck must
exercise a heightened degree of awareness,
so that they can react immediately in the event
of any malfunction, incident or breakdown etc.
WARNING
All persons that are in the vicinity of the truck must
be instructed regarding these risks that arise through
use of the truck.
In addition, we draw attention to the safety regula-
tions in these operating instructions.
Risks can include:
●
Escape of consumables due to leakages,
rupture of lines and containers etc.
●
Risk of accident when driving over difficult
ground such as gradients, smooth or irregu-
lar surfaces, or with poor visibility etc.
●
Falling, tripping etc. when moving on the
truck, especially in wet weather, with leak-
ing consumables or on icy surfaces
●
Fire and explosion risks due to batteries
and electrical voltages
●
Human error resulting from failure to ob-
serve the safety regulations,
●
Unrepaired damage or defective and worn
components,
●
Insufficient maintenance and testing
●
Use of incorrect consumables
●
Exceeding test intervals
The manufacturer is not held responsible for
accidents involving the truck caused by the
failure of the operating company to comply
with these regulations either intentionally or
carelessly.
Stability
The operational stability of the truck has been
tested according to latest technical standards.
These take into account the dynamic and stat-
ic tilting forces that can occur when the truck
is used for its intended purpose. Among other
things, the operational stability of the truck can
be affected by the following components:
●
Battery size and battery weight
●
Wheels
●
Mast
●
Transported load (size,weight and load cen-
tre)
●
Ground clearance (e.g.modification of the
tilt safety device)
●
Additional weights (e.g. in the battery com-
partment)
●
Attachment (e.g.rail guidance)
Special risks associated with us-
ing the truck and attachments
Approval from the manufacturer and attach-
ment manufacturer must be obtained each
time the truck is used in a manner that falls
outside the scope of normal use, and in cases
where the driver is not certain that he can
