Safety devices and warning signs
Safety devices and warning signs: The safety devices, warning signs and warnings
described in this Operating Manual must be complied with at all times.
Warning systems: All industrial trucks must be fitted with a horn, whistle, bell or
other acoustic systems, which can be actuated by the operator.
The owner must decide whether the operating conditions are such that the industrial
truck should also be fitted with other acoustic or optical systems – such as work
lighting or a flashing warning lamp – and is responsible for the use and maintenance
of these systems.
The owner should determine the time interval(s) at which the warning systems should
be actuated in conjunction with the manufacturer.
Where necessary, road signs, warning systems and other safety devices must be
used to warn personnel and to protect them from contact with industrial trucks or the
equipment used by industrial trucks. This includes equipment designed to interact
with the vehicle system.
