General safety regulations
●
Only allow qualified, trained and authorised
personnel to operate the truck.
●
Do not install any equipment on the truck
that has not been supplied and/or recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
●
Ensure the truck is always kept in a condi-
tion that guarantees full working efficiency,
in order to keep all types of risk to a mini-
mum.
●
Do not operate the truck when the hoods or
doors are open or if the protective devices
have been removed.
●
Close the rear window of the driver's cab
before moving the truck. When open, the
rear window extends beyond the truck con-
tour and may collide with persons or ob-
jects.
●
The identification plates fitted to the truck
must be kept in a good, legible condition,
and must be replaced if damaged.
●
Carefully read and follow all of the safety in-
formation found on the truck.
●
Make sure that there is always sufficient
overhead clearance above the truck.
●
Do not park the truck in front of fire extin-
guishers, escape routes or anywhere where
it would block traffic.
●
If the forklift shows signs of defects or dam-
age, or if it appears to be unsafe for any
other reason, safely park the truck and noti-
fy the authorised service centre.
●
Maintain appropriate distances from high
voltage overhead cables. Comply with the
safety distances established by the compe-
tent authorities.
●
Never raise loads using just one fork arm.
●
Position the load on the fork carriage or in
such a way that the centre of gravity of the
load is as close as possible to the fork car-
riage.
●
The load must be positioned on the fork
arms such that the centre of gravity falls be-
tween the fork arms.
●
Do not drive with a load that is laterally dis-
placed from the truck's axle beam. Failure
to comply with this regulation may adverse-
ly affect the stability of the truck.
●
Make sure that the surface on which the
load rests is able to support its weight.
●
Wear a protection suit that is compliant with
current national regulations at all times, and
use any personal protective equipment that
may be necessary for the application in
question.
●
Do not drive the truck on loose or hilly
ground or on steps.
●
Do not drive with loads raised more than
300 mm off the ground.
●
Do not turn or stack on slopes.
●
Reduce the speed on slopes.
●
Do not load the truck to the extent that the
load capacity limits indicated on the capaci-
ty plates are exceeded.
●
Always make use of the driver restraint sys-
tems present on the truck.
