Correct use and application
The truck described in the present operator manual is an industrial truck designed for lifting and transporting load units.
It must be used, operated and serviced in accordance with the present instructions. Any other type of use is beyond the scope of application and can result in
damage to personnel, the truck or property. In particular, avoid overloading the truck with loads which are too heavy or placed on one side. The data plate attached
to the truck or the load diagram are binding for the maximum load capacity. The industrial truck must not be used in fire or explosion endangered areas, or areas
threatened by corrosion or excessive dust.
Proprietor responsibilities
For the purposes of the present operator manual the "proprietor" is defined as any natural or legal person who either uses the industrial truck himself, or on whose
behalf it is used. In special cases (e.g. leasing or renting) the proprietor is considered the person who, in accordance with existing contractual agreements between
the owner and user of the industrial truck, is charged with operational duties.
The proprietor must ensure that the truck is used only for the purpose it is intended for and that danger to life and limb of the user and third parties are excluded.
Furthermore, accident prevention regulations, safety regulations and operating, servicing and repair guidelines must be followed. The proprietor must ensure that all
truck users have read and understood this operator manual.
Failure to comply with the operator manual shall invalidate the warranty. The same applies if improper work is carried out on the truck by the customer or third
parties without the permission of the manufacturer's customer service department.
Attaching accessories
The mounting or installation of additional equipment which affects or supplements the performance of the industrial truck requires the written permission of the
manufacturer. In some cases, local authority approval shall be required.
Approval of the local authorities however does not constitute the manufacturer's Approval
Before operation
Before using the truck, inspect the work area. It should be neat, well lit, adequately ventilated, and free from hazardous material. Aisles and roadways should be
unobstructed and well ma-rked. Operators must know the classification for the truck and use the truck only in permissible areas. Ensure that there are no loose
objects on the truck or in the operator compartment, especially on the floor plate where they could interfere with pedal operation (if equipped) or foot room. Fire
extinguishers and other emergency equipment should be visible and easy to reach.
Wear safety equipment when required. Don't smoke in "No Smoking" areas, or while charging batteries or refueling combustion engine trucks. Never operate the
truck with greasy hands. This will make the controls slippery and result in loss of truck control. Any questions or concerns about safety should be brought to the
attention of a supervisor. If an accident should occur, it must be reported immediately.
WARNING: Unauthorized modifications to the truck can result in injury or death.
Do not remove, disable or modify any safeguards or other safety devices. These include any alarms, lights, mirrors, overhead guards, and load backrest extensions.
If present, an overhead guard is intended to provide protection to the operator from falling objects but cannot protect from every possible impact.
Operating position
The truck may be operated in either direction while walking. When operating in reverse (forks leading), always keep both hands on the control handle. When
operating forward (forks trail¬ing) keep one hand on the controls and, if possible, walk ahead and to the side of the truck. During operation, always grasp the handle
at the travel control. Keep fingers within the protec ted area of the handle at all times. Operators must not ride the truck unless it is designed for riding.
WARNING: Injury to hands can occur if the handle is grasped incorrectly. Keep hands and fingers within the protected area of the handle. Injury can occur if the
truck contacts any part of the body. Remain clear of the truck frame at all times.
Travel
The truck is designed for operation on smooth, dry surfaces such as warehouse and factory floors, loading docks or paved areas. Under all travel conditions operate
the truck at a speed that will permit it to be brought to a stop in a safe manner. Avoid running over loose objects on the roadway surface
WARNING: Loss of control!
Do not travel at excessive speeds; keep your truck under control at all times.
Always watch for pedestrians. When travelling in reverse (load end leading) be careful of drive end swing. The drive end of the truck will swing out if a turn is made
while travelling in reverse. Always use caution when turning into an aisle. The load wheels can cut the corner sooner than expected.
Unstable loads are hazardous. Ensure all loads are secure and evenly positioned across both forks. Never lift a load with only one fork. Never carry anything on any
part of the truck except the forks unless a specific area has been provided by the manufacturer. During travel, always watch for over head obstructions such as
lights, wiring, pipes, sprinkler systems, doorways, etc. Never overtake another truck at an intersection, blind spot or other dangerous location. Use the horn at
intersections and any location where visibility is limited.
