Safety guidelines
It is essential that operating personnel and re-
pair personnel observe the" rules for the prop-
er use of industrial trucks" enclosed with these
operating instructions.
Examples of those listed are:
●
Operating industrial trucks
●
Driving licence
●
Driveways and working areas
●
Rights, duties and rules of behaviour for the
driver
●
Special operating areas
●
Information regarding setting off, driving
and braking
●
Information for maintenance and repair
●
Regular tests
●
Disposal of greases, oils and batteries
The operating company or the person it has
commissioned must ensure that the driver un-
derstands all safety information and that all
guidelines and safety regulations are ob-
served.
During training, the driver must familiarise
themselves with the following:
●
The operating conditions of the working
areas
●
The specific technical characteristics of the
industrial truck
●
The operation of attachments
Practise driving, control and steering opera-
tions with an unloaded truck until they are
completely mastered. Only then can a loaded
industrial truck be used for practice.
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.
