WARNING
Risk of accident due to the drive unit switching off!
Driving up and down longer gradients may cause
the drive unit to overheat and switch off. The truck
will then no longer decelerate when the accelerator
pedal is released and will coast.
Driving up and down longer gradients greater than
15% is not permitted due to the minimum specified
braking values. The climbing capability values
given below only apply to overcoming obstacles on
the roadway and to short differences in level, e.g.
ramps.
– Consult the authorised service centre before
driving on long ascending and descending
gradients greater than 15%.
CAUTION
Risk of component damage due to reduced ground
clearance with the "hydraulic battery carrier" va-
riant.
Trucks fitted with a hydraulic battery carrier (va-
riant) have a reduced ground clearance, and the
permitted climbing capability is therefore reduced.
Irregularities in the ground, such as railway slee-
pers,mustalsobedrivenoverwithcaution.
– Please note the following:
• The ground clearance is restricted
• When using wo
rn tyres, the maximum ramp
angle is onl
y7°
NOTE
The values specified in the "Maximum clim-
bing capability" table can be used only to com-
pare the performance of forklift trucks in the
same category. The specified values in no
way represent the normal daily operating con-
ditions.
