Safety regulations in case of accidental lateral tipping
If as a result of incorrect manoeuvring the
truck appears to be tipping over sideways,
carefully follow the instructions below:
a) Do not leave the forklift truck.
b) Tilt your head forward and move your body
in the opposite direction to which the forklift is
tipping.
c) Remain firmly seated, grip the steering
wheel and dig your heels in. Wait until the
truck has reached a stable position before
leaving the truck.
Commissioning of LPG-fuelled trucks
A - For use with "fixed bottle" that can
be filled by the user
In order to comply the safety requirements of
the ISO 3691 standard, the bottle must be
equipped with at least the following:
●
Manual shut-off tap;
●
Valve (2) as indicated in the previous point;
●
Overpressure valve;
●
Device for indicating the maximum level;
and it must be subjected to the tests provided
for by the regulations in force in the country in
which the truck is used.
This specific variant must be requested from
the manufacturer at the time the truck is or-
dered; if the set-up occurs at a later time, how-
ever, it is essential to use the original kit and
carry out the assembly as provided for by the
manufacturer.
B - For use with a “removable bottle”
The bottle must be:
●
Compliant with the requirements of ISO
3691 (valve (2) as indicated previously,
manual shut-off cock);
●
Suitable for safe use on vehicles designed
as indicated above;
●
Compliant with the requirements regarding
containers under pressure currently in force
in the country in which the truck is used;
●
Subjected to any tests provided for by the
requirements referred to above;
●
Accompanied by an appropriate card certi-
fying its origin.
When making the connection, check the com-
patibility of the pipe/bottle fittings and use ap-
propriate adapters if necessary.
NOTE
The person commissioning the truck is com-
pletely responsible for complying with the re-
quirements stated in points A and B above. In
this regard, it is advisable to always consult
specialists in the sector for the validation of
the equipment. It is advisable to use a remov-
able bottle equipped with overpressure valve.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility
for:
●
Use of non-compliant tanks;
●
Incorrect installation of the same;
●
Commissioning of the truck without having
satisfied the safety regulations and laws in
force in the country in which the truck is
used.
DANGER
The leakage of liquid gas may cause freeze burns
and/or explosions. This can occur particularly in the
case of gas leaks from the system or when the en-
gine doesn't start or is difficult to start. Thus if these
anomalies should occur, it is strictly prohibited to
perform work on the gas system and it is strictly
prohibited to use the truck.
