1.6 General safety instructions
During the design and construction of this machine methods and precautions have been
adopted in order to meet the essential safety demands in compliance with the
20069/42/CE Directive and subsequent changes and with applicable norms. In particular,
during the design and construction phases precautionary measures have been adopted
in order to prevent risks for the operators during installation, use, maintenance,
disassemble and deactivation of the machine. The complete documentation of the safety
measures is included in the technical brochure of the machine.
Thanks to the accurate examination of the risks carried out by the manufacturer most
risks in relation to the expected and foreseeable conditions of the machine use have
been eliminated. The possible protections to eliminate completely the fall risk of the load
from the forks would seriously compromise the functionality and versatility of the
machine. Consequently, the residual fall risks of the load from the forks are described in
this manual.
ARMANNI recommends to read carefully the instructions, procedures and suggestions of
this handbook and follow the safety norms in force and the use of the protection
equipment, both those supplemented in the machine and the individual ones.
NOTE ARMANNI declines all responsibilities for possible damages to persons or things due to
the non-observance of the safety norms and recommendations included in the documentation.

Instruction handbook - General information ARMANNI
1.6.1 Passive safety devices
DEFINITION
Such devices are the devices or precautions that eliminate or reduce the risks for the
operators without any active intervention from the operators.
Microswitch: the presence of the limit switch reduces the movable fork movement at the
maximum height.
Protection grating: it prevents the operator from bringing his hands near to the moving
parts during the load rise and descent.
Bumper on the forks: it prevents the load from falling down on the operator in case of
oscillation.
An important passive safety device is the parachute valve situated in the connection
between the hydraulic plant and the cylinder. In case of a sudden leakage or a break
inside the hydraulic circuit, it locks the load movement in a very short time and avoids
the abrupt descent to the ground.
Rubber foot guard: it prevents the operator's foot from going under the truck.
Safety push-button: in case of contact with the operator, it instantaneously stops the
truck stroke and avoids the squashing.
When the load is lifted at a height of more than 300 mm from the ground, the truck
translation speed is automatically reduced to a lower value by means of a microswitch
positioned near the mast. Also this device serves as a passive safety device.
1.6.2 Active safety devices
Such devices are the devices or precautions that eliminate the risks for exposed
operators or persons or that reduce the risks that can not be eliminated during the
design. Such devices require active and aware interventions from the operator.
The continuous action switches and the lever for the forks lifting/lowering are active
safety devices; in case of international release, they cause the forks movement stop.
The same counts for the onward-backward drives of the truck.
The emergency switch is en active safety device as well since it locks the whole system
when operated in case of danger.
Finally, also the "safety push-button" can serve as an active safety device because it can
be controlled by means of an intentional manoeuvre, too.
1.6.3 Personnel qualification
The machine working is safe when used by qualified personnel in accordance with the
recommendations and instructions of this handbook. All installation, use and
maintenance operations of the machine shall be carried out only by authorised and
qualified personnel after having acquired the instructions supplied by this handbook.

NOTE ARMANNI declines all responsibilities for possible damages to persons, things or
domestic animals due to the use of the machine from unqualified operators.
1.6.4 Danger zones
DEFINITION
A danger zone is any zone inside or near the machine in which the presence of an exposed person
represents a risk for the health and safety for that person.

Instruction handbook - General information ARMANNI
1.7.4 Safety norms and driving suggestions
In order to use the lift truck safely it is necessary to follow some precautionary norms:
- Only the authorised personnel is allowed to use the truck
- In the work area of the truck there shall be nobody for 8 m. at least, so as to avoid
accidents due to the accidental fall of the load.
- While using it, always keep a correct manoeuvre position.
The load shall have the following dimensions in order to work safely: (See Fig. 1.4):
- As for width, its dimensions shall not project from the load holder grating and have
the barycenter (G) on the longitudinal axis.
- As for length, it shall not exceed a length of 1200 mm and have the barycenter (G)
positioned at a distance lower or equal to the C distance (reported in the technical
specifications) from the load holder grating.
As for height two cases may occur:
1- If the load is not packed, it shall not absolutely project from the load holder grating
2- If the load should project from the load holder grating, the load transport can be
carried out only when it is appropriately packed as one single body with all its parts
(for example, a pallet consisting of a lot of boxes firmly piled up and cellophaned);
In order to reduce the fall risk it will be necessary to keep the load barycenter
lower than the load holder grating.
If you follow these regulations, you will obtain a correct load positioning and a
weight equally distributed on the forks surface, consequently the load balance will
be very stable, thus reducing to a minimum the accident risk due to the accidental
fall of the load.
- All movements inside the firm shall be carried out only along the yellow stripes
on the floor.
- During the movements from one area to the other always keep the forks at a
maximum height of 20 cm from the ground.
- Never overload the truck.
- Center the load on the two forks, so that its barycenter falls on the longitudinal
axis of the truck and the weight is equally distributed on the forks (always refer
to the diagrams of the technical specifications and the label on the mast).
- If the load should hinder the visibility during the movements, carry out a
reverse and go on by keeping the truck behind you.
- Be careful with the piling-up of the material; when starting, avoid abrupt
manoeuvres, stops and steering; Carry out the loading, unloading and
movement operations by keeping the truck motion as straightaway as possible.
- Moderate the speed in the dangerous zones or near obstacles.
- Be careful with slopes, in particular never pass through slopes superior to 5%.
Never pass transversally through slopes. Keep rigorously the forks at a
maximum height of 20 cm from the ground.
- Use the audible alarms if necessary.
- In case of any danger, turn immediately the emergency key anticlockwise.
- Never get near the battery during the recharge with free flames. Read carefully
the use and maintenance handbook of the battery in order to obtain a perfect
efficiency.
- Be careful with fires and explosions, especially in environments where gas
fumes or fuels are present. The truck is not explosion-proof.
- Never leave the truck with hanging loads or with the forks lifted.
If it is unattended, take the key out of the control panel. Park the truck only in
appropriate areas or far from other work areas or working machines (minimum
distance: 5m.).

CHAPTER 2 Description
2.1 Machine description
2.1.1 MACHINE FUNCTION
The lift truck is used for lifting and lowering loads and positioning them as desired; or,
once they are lifted from the ground, it is useful for their transport, for short distances
(inside a workshop, warehouse, truck loading/unloading, storage on stands etc.).
2.1.2 WORKING PRINCIPLE
The lift truck moves objects vertically with onward-backward movements or towards a
direction desired by the operator, since he can change both direction and the running
direction by means of the steering wheel.
* Rise
- The high oleodynamic pressure due to a pump connected in series with an
electromotor moves the stem of an hydraulic cylinder, which, fastened to the
basement and pivoted on a support welded to the internal mast, moves it
vertically. Inside the two mast guides, by means of a pulley and chain system,
the movement is transmitted to the forks, in the same translation direction as
the stem.
* Descent
- The force of gravity operates on the forks which drag downward the whole
system moved during the rise. The descent speed is kept constant by the
action of a balancing valve in the gear-case that checks the oil flow from the
cylinder to the tank.
* Movement
- The electromotive force supplied by the motor-wheel gives a motion to the
truck; this motion will be appropriately proportioned and controlled by means
of the drives positioned on the steering wheel. The speed is changed by
means of a potentiometer in the steering wheel, while the movement stop is
controlled by an electromagnetic brake positioned on the same wheel.
* Steering.
- The directional control of the truck is obtained by means of electromechanical
power steering; by rotating the steering arm around its vertical axis, the
operator will control the rotation of the driving wheel around the relevant
steering axis
2.1.3 Structure
The main structural elements of the machine are the following:
Mechanical electro-welded steel structure.
