The lift truck is designed for transporting and stacking the loads stated in the
nameplate.
In particular we refer to:
• the safety rules of your trade association.
• In accordance with the special provisions for driving on public roads specied by national
specications.
• Other local regulations.
The rules for the intended and approved use of industrial trucks must be followed under all
circumstances by the responsible persons, especially by the operator and service personnel.
The user, and not EP, is responsible for any danger arising from applications not authorised by the
manufacturer.
If you want to use the truck for applications not mentioned in this manual, please rst contact your

Technical description
• These trucks consists of robust steel chassis and is driving on a traction wheel and 2 load wheels.
Caster wheels provide for good stability even with high loads.
• The truck will be stopped by a regenerative service brake and hold by an automatic
electromagnetic parking brake in it’s parking position.
• The load is lifted by a hydraulic cylinder that activates a lifting shaft that transmits the lifting
movement by a push-rod to the load wheels.
• The control handle is used for smooth steering and control of drive speed, lifting and lowering,
braking and the horn without changing the position of the hand. The long tiller shaft allows
e󰀨ortless steering and a safe distance to the truck. A gas spring returns the control handle always
into a vertical position that activates the brake automatically.
• An emergency reverse switch on the control head protects the operator from being squeezed by
the truck in conned spaces.
• An electronic controller operates all electric functions and guaranties safety.
• A key switch secures the truck from unauthorized use.
• The ergonomic design of the truck guaranties safe and easy operation.

the “equipment user” represents the interested parties supposed to bear operation obligations
as specied by the contractual terms concluded between equipment owner and corresponding
users. Equipment users must ensure the use of the carrier only for purposes specied and timely
eliminate all the dangers that may threaten the life and health of the users themselves or any other
third party, in addition to which they must also strictly abide by accident prevention provisions,
other safety technology provisions and equipment operation, maintenance and repair guidelines,

Continuous sound level: ＜74 dB(A)
according to EN 12053 as stipulated in ISO 4871
The continuous sound level is a value averaged according to standard regulations, taking the
sound pressure level into account when driving, lifting and idling. The sound pressure level is
measured at the ear.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The manufacturer confirms compliance with the limit values for electromagnetic emission and
interference immunity as well as testing of static electricity discharge according to EN 12895 and
the references to other standards contained therein.
Electrical or electronic components and their arrangement may only be modied after written
approval by the manufacturer has been obtained.
1.3.2 Conditions for application
Working condition requirements:
– Use in specied rated load.
– Used in specied area as factory, tourist attraction and recreation place.
