Inclines, Ramps, Docks, Elevators If you must travel on an incline, do so with caution. Do not operate truck on a wet incline.
Keep the forks upgrade to maintain control when travelling up or down an incline with a loaded truck. Keep the forks downgrade when travelling up or down an
incline with an empty truck.
DANGER: Tip-over will occur if you turn while travelling on a ramp or travel at an angle other than straight up or straight down a ramp.
Never turn on an incline or ramp either loaded or unloaded. Travel straight up or straight down.
Be aware that when descending an incline your stopping distance will be greater than when on a level surface. Reduce your speed, and ensure that there is
adequate clear space at the bottom of the ramp to stop and turn.
To avoid hazards associated with a dock, you should personally check that the trailer brakes have been applied, wheel chocks are in place, and that any trailer-to-
dock locking systems are being utilized. The impact of moving in and out of a trailer may cause the trailer to creep or move. Confirm that the driver will not move the
trailer until you are done.
Do not drive the truck onto an elevator without specific authorization. Verify that the capacity of the elevator exceeds the weight of the truck and the weight of the
load. Approach elevators slowly and ensure that the elevator car is level with the floor before entering. Enter elevators squarely with the load end leading. Ensure
that no part of the truck or load contacts any part of the elevator other than the floor. Once on the elevator, neutralize the truck controls, shut off the power, and set
the brakes. Any other personnel should leave the elevator before the truck is allowed to enter or leave.
Be especially cautious when driving the truck on ramps or bridge plates. Be sure to maintain a safe distance from each edge. Before driving the truck over a ramp or
bridge plate, verify that its position is secured to prevent movement. Never exceed the rated capacity of a ramp or bridge plate
Battery safety
WARNING: Batteries contain dissolved sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and caustic. Batteries also can produce explosive gases.
Remain aware of the following information.
•
Wear protective equipment (protective apron and gloves) and protective glasses when working with battery acid. If clothing, skin or eyes come into
contact with battery acid, immediately flush the affected areas with water. If acid contacts the eyes, seek medical attention at once. Clean spilled battery
acid immediately with large amounts of water.
•
Remove any metal rings, bracelets, bands, or other jewelry before working with or near batteries or electrical components.
•
Never expose batteries to open flame or sparks.
•
Areas in which batteries are stored or charged must be well ventilated to prevent concentration of explosive gases.
•
If a battery is charged while installed in the truck, the battery cover must remain completely open during the entire charging period.
•
Shorting of battery terminals can cause burns, electrical shock, or explosion. Do not allow metal parts to contact the top surface of the battery. Make sure
all terminal caps are in place and in good condition.
•
Batteries may only be charged, serviced, or changed by properly trained personnel. Always follow all instructions provided by the manufacturers of the
battery, charger, and the truck.
2.0 TRUCK DESCRIPTION
Application
The truck is intended for transporting goods on a level floor. It can pick up pallets that are open to the ground or trolleys.
Permissible application temperature range of truck -10°C to 40°C. Lithium-ion battery operation application 0°C to 40°C.
Industrial trucks must be specially equipped and approved for continuous use in environments with temperatures below 5°C or in cold stores respectively with
extreme temperatures or humidity changes.
Only use the truck at altitudes not exceeding 2000 meters.
Trucks can only be operated in adequately illuminated working areas to avoid injuries. In case of insufficient light, an additional lighting equipment is needed to
ensure that the driver can see properly.
If you must travel on an incline, the gradients should be below A% at full load, or below B% without load (for the value of A and B, refer to the Gradeability in
Performance Data Sheet)
There should be no risks of fire, explosion or corrosion in the working area, or too much dust.
