– Contact the authorised service centre be-
fore converting or retrofitting the truck.
DANGER
Risk of injury if the truck tips over!
Even if an approved restraint system is
in use, there is still a residual risk that
the driver could be injured if the truck
tips over. The risk of injury can be re-
duced by using the restraint system in
conjunction with the seat belt. In addi-
tion, the seat belt protects against the
consequences of rear-end collisions and
falling off ramps.
– Use the seat belt too.
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury from falling load!
There is a risk to the driver's life if the truck is not
equipped with an overhead guard, as the driver may
be struck by a load falling from a lift height of
1800 mm or greater.
Operation of the forklift truck without an overhead
guard is prohibited with a lift height greater than
1800 mm.
– At lift heights of 1800 mm and above, only use the
truck in conjunction with an overhead guard.
The operating company is only permitted to
make modifications to the truck independently
if the manufacturer goes into liquidation and
the company is not taken over by another le-
gal person.
The operating company must also fulfil the fol-
lowing prerequisites:
●
Design documents, test documents and as-
sembly instructions associated with the
modification must be permanently archived
and remain accessible at all times.
●
The capacity rating plate, the decal informa-
tion, the hazard warnings and the operating
instructions must be checked to ensure that
they are consistent with the modifications
and must be amended if required.
●
Modifications must be designed, checked
and implemented by a design office that
specialises in industrial trucks. The design
office must comply with the standards and
directives valid at the time that modifica-
tions are made.
