DANGER
Risk of explosion!
Working on a truck within potentially
explosiveareas can lead to explosions
in the surrounding atmosphere.
No work must be performed on the
truck in potentially explosive areas!
– Do not perform any work on trucks
in potentially explosive areas.
– Change fork arms only outside of
potentially explosive areas.
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
In potentially explosive areas, only
fork arms that comply with explosion-
protection regulations may be used.
These fork arms are specially coated
to prevent sparks forming when
coming into contact with the load or
floor. The coating does not extend to
the area inside the fork bends so that
it is possible to check for cracks.
– Fit only fork arms that correspond
to explosion protection regulations.
– Check that the cladding is com-
plete.
– Do not use fork arms with worn
cladding.
DANGER
There is a risk of fatal injury from being run over if
the truck rolls away.
– Do not park the truck on gradients.
– Apply the parking brake.
– Change the fork extension in a cordoned-off,
safe location on a level surface.
WARNING
There is a risk of crushing!
The weight of the fork extension can cause crushing
and cuts can be caused by sharp edges or burrs.
– Wear protective gloves and safety shoes.
