The truck is equipped with an emergency switch (5) which stops all lifting-, lowering-, driving- functions
and engages the fail-safe electromagnetic brake when it is pressed. By turning this button clockwise, the
truck can be operated after the controller checked the functions. Before operating, insert the magnetic
lock (3) to start the truck. To prevent unauthorized access, press emergency switch (5) or remove the
magnetic lock (3).
The truck is equipped with a safety (belly) button (1) which switches the driving function away from the
operator, if the truck travels towards the operator and the tiller is activated in the tillers operating zone.
Follow also the instructions given on the labels and decals. Replace the label and decals in time if they
are damaged or missing.

Lift people. People could fall down and suffer severe injury.
Push or pull loads
Side or end load. Load must be distributed evenly on the forks.
Use the truck with unstable or unbalanced load.
Use truck without manufacturer’s instructions manual.
Lifted loads could become unstable at wind forces. In the case of wind forces do not
lift the load if there is any influence to the stability.
Watch difference in floor levels when driving. Load could fall down or the truck could get uncontrollable.
Keep watching the condition of load. Stop operating the truck if load becomes unstable.
