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 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 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 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,

Safety mechanisms: An enclosed truck geometry with rounded edges ensures safe
handling of the truck. The driver is protected by the overhead guard (2). Pressing the
Emergency brake switch disconnects all electrical functions in hazardous
situations.The drive wheel (8) and the load wheels (3) are protected by a solid skirt.
Line brake safety devices in the lift cylinders limit the load lowering speed in the event
of a hydraulic system failure.
Drive: The entire drive unit is enclosed in the truck chassis.
The electronic traction controller ensures the smooth rotation of the drive motor and
as a result smooth driving, powerful acceleration.
Brake system: The braking system consists of two independent braking systems.The
truck can be braked gently and wear-free by switching to the opposite travel
direction.The truck can be braked by taking your foot off the drive pedal(coasting
brake).
Steering system:Extremely smooth steering with three phase drive system.The
steering wheel is integrated in the control panel. The position of the steered drive
wheel is shown in the control panel display unit. The maximum steer angle is

90°.
Operator position: The driver’s position is ergonomically designed with ample
legroom. The driver's seat can be adjusted to suit the driver.
Controls and Displays：The functions are activated via ergonomic thumb movement
to ensure fatigue-free operation without stressing the wrists; sensitive application of
travel and hydraulic movements to spare and position the goods precisely.Driver's
display unit for all important driver information such as steering wheel position, truck
status reports (e.g. faults), battery capacity and time etc..
Hydraulic system ：All hydraulic operations are controlled by a sturdy,
maintenance-free AC motor with no wear parts and with a flanged low emission gear
pump.The varying oil requirements are controlled by the speed of the motor.
Electrical system:Highly efficient three phase technology with energy retention for
the drive motor provides high travel speeds and better use of energy.
Mast support: The mast support is mounted on support rollers. A single telescopic
reach cylinder extends and retracts the support.
For controls options see chapter three.
