SILICA DUST HAZARD
Exposure to crystalline silica (found in sand, soil and rocks) has been associated with silicosis,
a debilitating and often fatal lung disease. Comply with all applicable rules and regulations for
the workplace. Wear approved respiratory protection or use water spray or other means if there
is no other way to control the dust.
A Silica rule "29 CFR 1929.1153" by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) indicates a
signicant risk of chronic silicosis for workers exposed to inhaled crystalline silica over a working
lifetime. Refer to the rule for more information regarding exposure limits and hazard prevention.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMPANY MANAGER
THE SITE
Proper management of telehandler's area of travel will reduce the risk of accidents:
• ground not unnecessarily uneven or obstructed,
• no excessive slopes,
• pedestrian traffic controlled, etc�
THE OPERATOR
- Only qualified, authorized personnel can use the telehandler� This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate
person in the establishment with respect to the use of telehandlers and must be carried permanently by the operator�
pExperience has shown that there are a number of inappropriate ways in which the telehandler might be used. Such
foreseeable misuse, of which the main examples are listed below, are strictly forbidden.
- The foreseeable abnormal behaviour resulting from ordinary negligence, but which does not result from any wish to
put the machinery to any improper use.
- The reex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. during operation of the telehandler.
- Behaviour resulting from application of the “principle of least eort” when performing a task.
- For certain machines, the foreseeable behaviour of such persons as: apprentices, teenagers, handicapped persons,
trainees tempted to drive a telehandler, operators tempted to operate the machine to win a bet, in competition or for
their own personal experience.
The person in charge of the equipment must take these criteria into account when assessing whether or not a person
will make a suitable driver.
THE TELEHANDLER
A - THE TELEHANDLER'S SUITABILITY FOR THE JOB
- MANITOU has ensured that this telehandler is suitable for use under the standard operating conditions defined in
this operator's manual, with a STATIC test coefficient of 1.33 and a DYNAMIC test coefficient of 1, as specified in
harmonised standard EN 1459 for variable reach trucks�
- Before commissioning, the company manager must make sure that the telehandler is appropriate for the work to be
done, and perform certain tests (in accordance with current legislation)�
B - ADAPTATION OF THE TELEHANDLER TO STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- In addition to series equipment mounted on your telehandler, many options are available, such as: road lighting, stop
lights, revolving light, reverse lights, reverse alarm sound, front light, rear light, light at the boom head, etc� (according
to the telehandler model)�
- The operator must take into account the operating conditions to specify the telehandler's signaling and lighting
equipment� Contact your dealer
- Take into account climatic and atmospheric conditions of the site of utilisation�
• Protection against frost (e3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL)�
• Adaptation of lubricants (ask your dealer for information)�
• Engine filtration (e 3 - MAINTENANCE: FILTER CARTRIDGES AND BELTS)�
pFor operation under average climatic conditions, i.e.: between -15 °C and 35 °C, correct levels of lubricants in all the
circuits are checked in production. For use in harsher conditions, before setting o, lubricants must be changed and
topped up using lubricants appropriate to the ambient temperatures.
The same applies to the cooling liquid.
- Preventing fire risks associated with use in dusty and flammable conditions (e�g� straw, flour, sawdust, organic waste, etc�)�
- A telehandler operating in an area without fire extinguishing equipment must be equipped with an individual extinguisher�
There are solutions, consult your dealer�
pYour telehandler is designed for outdoor use under normal atmospheric conditions and indoor use in suitably aerated
and ventilated premises.
It is prohibited to use the telehandler in areas where there is a risk of re or which are potentially explosive (e.g.
reneries, fuel or gas depots, stores of ammable products. etc.).
For use in these areas, specic equipment is available (ask your dealer for information).
- Our telehandlers comply with Directive 2004/108/EC concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and with the
corresponding harmonized standard EN 12895� Their proper operation is no longer guaranteed if they are used within
areas in which the electromagnetic fields exceed the limit specified by that standard (10 V/m)�
- Directive 2002/44/EC prohibits company managers from exposing their employees to excessive levels of vibration�
There is no recognized code of measurement for comparing the machines of different manufacturers� The actual doses
received can only therefore be measured under actual operating conditions at the user's premises�
www.duma-rent.com

1 - 7
- The following are some tips for minimizing these vibration doses:
• Select the most suitable telehandler and attachment for the intended use�
• Adapt the seat adjustment to the operator's weight (according to telehandler model) and maintain it in good condition,
as well as the cab suspension� Inflate the tires in accordance with recommendations�
• Ensure that the operators adapt their operating speed to suit the conditions on site�
• As far as possible, arrange the site in such a way as to provide a flat running surface and remove obstacles and harmful
potholes�
C - MODIFICATION OF THE TELEHANDLER
- For your safety and that of others, you must not change the structure and settings of the various components used in your
telehandler (hydraulic pressure, calibrating limiters, engine speed, addition of extra equipment, addition of counterweight,
unapproved attachments, alarm sound systems, etc�) yourself� In this event, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible�
D - FRENCH ROAD TRAFFIC RULES
(or see current legislation in other countries)
- Only one EC declaration of conformity is issued� It must be kept in a safe place�
- The road traffic rules of telehandlers are subject to the provisions of the highway code, according to the following categories:
• Construction-type trucks (MT range): public works vehicle not predominantly for use on roads (point 6�9 of Article R311-1 of the French Highway Code)� The telehandler
must have a 25 disc displayed on the rear of the vehicle and an operating licence plate�
• Agricultural-type trucks (MLT range) that are non-EC type approved tractors: (point 6�2 of Article R311/1 of the French Highway Code)� The telehandler must be fitted
with an operating licence plate�
• Agricultural-type trucks (MLT range) that are EC type approved tractors: agricultural tractor type T1a (point 5�1�1 of Article R311/1 of the French Highway Code)� The
telehandler must be registered�
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION APPLYING TO "EC TRACTOR" TYPE-APPROVED TELEHANDLERS
- All EC tractor type-approved telehandlers are supplied with an "EC tractor" certificate complying with directive 2003/37/EC, to be retained by the owner, and a page of
administrative details together with a CNIT number (national type approval code) for registration at the prefecture�
- The telehandler owner is responsible for carrying out the necessary procedures for obtaining the vehicle registration document within the time limit defined by the regulations�
- The operator must hold a category B driver's licence, unless granted an exemption�
- The telehandler must be driven on the public highway in accordance with the instructions given in the manual supplied with the telehandler (Gross weight, Gross combination
weight, towing load, axle loads, maximum speeds, etc� according to type/version)� The operator must be in possession of the telehandler’s registration document�
pWhen towing a trailer or agricultural equipment, the travelling speed of the telehandler is limited to 25 km/h (15.5
mph). In this case, a "25" disc must be axed to the rear of the convoy.
E - TELEHANDLER CAB PROTECTION
- All telehandlers comply with the requirements of ISO 3471 (wheel loader code) regarding cab rollover protection (ROPS)
and ISO 3449 (Level II) regarding the protection of the cab against falling objects (FOPS)�
- "EC TRACTOR" type-approved telehandlers comply, in addition, with Directive 79/622/EC (OECD Code 4) regarding cab
rollover protection (ROPS)�
pStructural damage or overturning, a modication, changes or a poorly executed repair can reduce the protective
eciency of the cab, cancelling its compliance. Do not perform welding or drilling on the cab structure. Consult your
dealer to determine the limits of this structure without cancelling its compliance.
