A Application
The truck described in these operation manual is designed for transporting loads. It must be used,
operated and maintained according to the information presented in this operation manual. Any
other uses exceed the design scope and can lead to injury to persons or damage to equipment
and property. Above all, overloading caused by excessively heavy or unbalanced loads must be
avoided. The max. permissible load to be picked up is indicated on the nameplate or load curve
label shown on the truck. The truck must not be operated in spaces subject to fire or explosion
hazards, or in spaces where corrosive or very dusty atmospheres prevail.
Duties of the user: A “user” within the meaning of these operation manual 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 user is considered the person, who, in accordance with
existing contractual agreements between the owner and the user of the truck, is charged with the
observance of the operating duties.
The user must ensure that the truck is not abused and only used within its design scope and that
all danger to the operator, or third parties, is avoided. In addition to this, it must be ensured that
the relevant accident prevention regulations and other safety related provisions, as well as the
operating, servicing and maintenance guidelines, are observed. The user must also ensure that
all persons operating the truck have read and understood this operation manual.
If this operation manual is not observed, the warranty becomes void. The same applies if
improper works are carried out on the device by the customers and/or third parties without
permission of our customer service.
Adding attachments: Adding or fitting any attachments which will interfere with, or supplement,
the functions of the truck is permitted only after written approval by the manufacturer has been
obtained. If necessary, the approval of local authorities has to be obtained. Any approval obtained
from local authorities does not, however, make the approval by the manufacturer unnecessary.
Modification: If you want to use the truck for purposes that are not mentioned in the user manual,
please contact dealers accredited by EP. Any modification to your truck, in particular fitting of
equipment or conversion to the truck, is prohibited without the permission of themanufacturer.

• Other local regulations
In all cases, the people in charge, particularly operators and service personnel, must comply with
the specific approved rules for the use of industrial trucks.
The user, and not the manufacturer EP, is liable for any hazards caused by any application not
authorised by the truck manufacturer.
Please contact your authorised dealer if you want to use the truck for an application that is not
specified in this manual.
The truck must not be altered, especially by making modifications or installing attachments,
without the manufacturer's approval.
Improper use
The operating company or driver, and not the manufacturer, is liable if the truck is used in a manner
that is not permitted.One of the main causes of accidents is the driver ignoring or being unaware
of the basic safe operating practices of the truck.
The following basic safe operating practices must be observed to ensure the safety of operators
and others.Never operate the truck in environments with s potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Never carry passengers.
• Do not overload the truck. (by exceeding the rated load indicated on the load designation plate)
• Overloading can affect braking distances, truck stability and the strength of the lift mast.
• Do not pick up an off-centre load.
• Do not stack loads or turn when driving on a ramp.
• Do not operate the truck on loose or greasy surfaces.
• Do not drive on uneven or obstructed surfaces. Never park the truck in a place that may obstruct
fire extinguishers, fire escapes or aisles.
• Do not dismount from the truck while it is moving.
• Do not leave the truck unattended when the load is raised.
• Never leave the vehicle unattended on a ramp. When driving, do not place any part of your body
outside the confines of the truck, lean on the edge of the truck or attempt to jump onto another

1.1 Application
B Truck Description
The truck is intended for transporting goods on a level floor. It can pick up pallets that are open
to the ground or trolleys.
Permissible application temperature range of truck -10°C to 40°C. Lithium-ion battery operation
application 0°C to 40°C.
NOTE
The truck may only be operated in cold stores temporarily. If the truck remains too long in a
cold store,we recommend coid store equipment for the truck.
Only use the truck at altitudes not exceeding 2000 meters.
The walking, lifting and lowering devices, harnesses and components are IP55 dust and water-
resistant.
Trucks can only be operated in adequately illuminated working areas to avoid injuries. In case
of insufficient light, an additional lighting equipment is needed to ensure that the driver can see
properly.
If you must travel on an incline, the gradients should be below A% at full load, or below B%
without a load.(For the value of A and B, refer to the Gradability in Performance Data Sheet)
There should be no risks of fire, explosion or corrosion in the working area, or too much dust.
Forks can only be operated in adequately illuminated working areas to avoid injuries or injuries.
In case of insufficient light, an additional equipment is needed to run the fork lift truck.
