Emergency hammer
The emergency hammer is used to rescue the
driver if he is shut inside the cab in a hazardous
situation, for example if the truck has toppled
over and the cab door cannot be opened.
Single-pane safety glass can be struck rela-
tively safely using the emergency hammer in
order for the driver to escape or be rescued
from the danger area.
Using the emergency hammer
WARNING
When glass is smashed there is a risk of injury
caused by glass splinters!
When the cab glass is smashed, splinters of glass
can shoot into the face and cause damage to skin
and eyes through cuts. When a pane of glass is
smashed, the face should be turned away and
covered with the crook of the free arm.
– Protect the face when smashing a pane of glass.
– Pull the emergency hammer out of its
support mounting at the handle.
– Using one of the two metal tips on the head
of the emergency hammer, hit the pane of
glass with force until it breaks.
Emergency lowering
If the hydraulic controller fails whilst a load
is raised, emergency lowering can be per-
formed. An emergency lowering screw for this
purpose is located on the valve block.
DANGER
There is a risk of fatal injury from
falling loads or parts of the truck being
lowered.
– Do not walk beneath the raised
load.
– Adhere to the following steps.
– Remove the v
alve cover.
