Safety regulations

Working area

• Ensure that the floor where the truck is to be used has suffi-
cient load bearing capacity for the total weight of the truck
including the maximum load.
• Take special care if there are protruding parts from racks,
shelves or walls that can cause personal injury or damage to
the truck.
• It is prohibited for persons to be present in the area around
the truck when there is a risk of personal injury, e.g. areas
that can be reached by falling goods, lowering load handling
devices or in the truck's manoeuvring area.
Operating and conduct while operating
• Avoid cornering at high speed.
• Sound the horn when overtaking and when the attention of
other personnel is required.
• Pay particular attention to other personnel as well as fixed
and moving objects within the working area and thereby avoid
accidents.
• When the load impairs the line of vision, always drive with the
load to the rear.
CAUTION!
When operating on inclines the pallet truck shall be operated
with the load downwards in the direction of the incline and
driven with extreme care.
WARNING!
Apply the brake gently and carefully to prevent the load from
sliding off the forks and causing damage.
CAUTION!
Adapt the speed according to the incline and surface.
WARNING!
Risk of toppling.
A truck carrying a load can topple over when turning on
inclines.
Never turn a loaded truck when driving on an incline.
• Always keep a safe distance from the edges of loading bays
and loading ramps. Be attentive to marked risk areas.
• Before the truck is driven on to a loading ramp ensure that the
ramp is correctly secured and has the necessary load bearing
capacity. Drive slowly and carefully across the ramp.
