Safety information
DANGER
The industrial truck must not be used by unauthor-
ised persons.
Only trained persons and those authorised for opera-
tion may have access to the industrial truck.
DANGER
Safety systems (e.g. the seat switch) are there for
safety.
Safety systems must never be disabled, regardless
of the kind.
DANGER
Any additional bores or welding to the overhead
guard will compromise its rigidity.
It is therefore strictly prohibited to drill holes in the
overhead guard or to weld to it.
CAUTION
Welding operations on other parts of the vehicle can
cause damage to the electronics.
Therefore, before performing any welding, always
disconnect the battery and all connections to the
electronic control units.
CAUTION
Different functions are supported by gas springs.
Gas springs are under a high internal pressure of up
to 300 bar.
They must only be removed when not under com-
pression and must not be opened without instruc-
tions. Any kind of damage, lateral forces, buckling,
temperatures in excess of 80° C and heavy contami-
nation must be avoided under all circumstances.
Damaged or defective gas springs must be replaced
immediately.
Contact your service partner.
WARNING
In trucks with an accumulator, serious injuries can
occur if the accumulator is not properly handled.
Before starting work on the accumulator it must be
depressurised.
Contact your service partner.
WARNING
Depending on the duration of use and
operating time, components carrying ex-
haust gases and exhaust air may be-
come hot.
Protective equipment must therefore be
worn.
WARNING
The areas in which the truck is operated must be ad-
equately lit.
If it is insufficiently lit, working spotlights must be in-
stalled to ensure that the driver can see properly.
WARNING
Health risk due to non-ionising radiation from retrofit-
ted devices (e.g. radio transmitter).
Always ensure that the manufacturer's instructions
are observed and that no persons with active or non-
active implantable medical devices are harmed.
If non-ionising radiation is present, affix a warning
sign within the driver's field of vision.
CAUTION
Various pieces of special equipment are connected
to the special "speed reduction" function. This is sim-
ply an assistance function, on which the driver must
not solely rely during operation.
The driver is always responsible for safe operation.
CAUTION
If drivers have active medical equipment, e. g. pace
makers or hearing aids, these may be impaired.
Check with a doctor or the medical equipment manu-
facturer whether the equipment is sufficiently protec-
ted against electromagnetic interference.
NOTE
If your truck is equipped with a fire extinguish-
er, make sure that you familiarise yourself with
it in case of an emergency. Handling informa-
tion is provided on the fire extinguisher.
