parts invalidates the warranty and renders the
user responsible for any accidents due to the
inappropriateness of the non-original parts.

Type of use
"Normal use conditions" of the forklift are un-
derstood as:
●
lifting and/or transport of loads using forks
with weight and load centre within the val-
ues provided (see Chapter 6 - Technical
Data).
●
transport and/or lifting on smooth, flat and
compact surfaces;
●
transport and/or lifting of stable loads uni-
formly distributed on the forks;
●
transport and/or lifting with the load centre
approximately on the forklift's median longi-
tudinal plane.
DANGER
The forklift must not be used for other purposes.
Any other use renders the user solely responsible for
injury/damage to persons and/or objects and voids
the warranty.
The following scenarios are examples of incor-
rect use of the forklift truck:
●
Transport on uneven (irregular or non-com-
pact) surfaces
●
loads that exceed the weight and/or load
centre limits;
●
transporting non-stable loads;
●
transporting loads not equally distributed on
the forks;
●
transporting swinging loads;
●
transporting loads whose load centre is
considerably displaced with respect to the
forklift's longitudinal median plane;
●
transporting loads of dimensions such as to
block the view of the operator when driving;
●
transporting loads piled so high that they
could fall onto the operator;
●
travelling with a load over 300 mm off the
ground;

●
transporting and/or lifting people;
●
Pushing loads
●
moving upwards or downwards on a slope
with the load facing downwards;
●
turning at high speed;
●
turning and/or moving sideways on slopes
(upwards or downwards);
●
colliding with stationary and/or mobile struc-
tures;
DANGER
Improper use of the forklift could cause it and/or at
the load to overturn.
Working conditions
The truck has been designed and built for in-
ternal transport.
The truck must not be used outside the climat-
ic conditions indicated below:
●
Maximum ambient temperature: +40°C
●
Minimum ambient temperature: +5°C
●
Altitude up to 2000 m
●
Relative humidity between 30% and 95%
(without condensation).
CAUTION
Do not use the truck in dusty environments.
Using the truck in environments with high concentra-
tions of salty air or water could cause problems with
the truck and cause corrosion of metallic parts.
If the truck must be used in conditions outside
of the limits indicated or, in any case, under
extreme conditions (extreme weather, cold-
storage rooms, presence of strong magnetic
fields etc.), appropriate equipment and/or us-
age precautions are necessary. Contact the
authorised sales network for information.
DANGER
The truck must not be used in environments where
there is a risk of explosion and the truck must not
be used to handle explosive loads.
Trucks that must operate in environments
where there is a risk of explosion or trucks that
must handle explosive loads require the ap-
propriate equipment, which must be accompa-
nied by a specific declaration of conformity
that replaces that of the standard truck, and by
the corresponding operating and maintenance
manual.
Contact the authorised sales network for fur-
ther information.

Modifications to Forklift
No modifications may be made to the forklift,
otherwise the EC certificate and the warranty
will become invalid, with the exception of:
●
Assembly of the options, only if provided by
the manufacturer
●
Assembly of applied equipment, only if pro-
vided by the manufacturer
WARNING
Before installing optional or additional equipment,
please exclusively contact the sales network author-
ised by the manufacturer.
DANGER
If the forklift is equipped at the factory or later with
devices that emit non-ionising radiation (such as ra-
dio transmitters, RFID players, data terminals,
scanners, etc), the compatibility of such devices
must be verified with the presence of operators us-
ing medical devices (such as heart pacemakers).
Applied equipment
To apply additional equipment after purchas-
ing, you must contact the sales network au-
thorised by the truck manufacturer, which will:
●
verify feasibility
●
install the equipment
●
add a label with the new residual capacity
●
provide documentation on the equipment
(operating and maintenance manual and
declaration of conformity)
CAUTION
The truck user must be trained in the operation and
correct use of the equipment
The user must check that the equipment is working
correctly before use.
User obligations
Users must comply with applicable local legis-
lation governing forklift use and maintenance.

Safety guidelines
General Precautions
NOTE
Some safety regulations to be followed when
using the forklift are listed below. These regu-
lations integrate those in the manual "
Rules
for approved use of industrial vehicles
".
General Safety Rules
●
Only allow qualified, trained and authorized
personnel to use the forklift.
●
Do not install equipment on the forklift un-
less supplied or indicated by the manufac-
turer.
●
Maintain the forklift in full working efficiency
in order to limit any type of risk to the mini-
mum.
●
Do not use the truck with bonnets or doors
open or with guards removed.
●
The data plates found on the forklift must be
kept in good condition and replaced if dam-
aged.
●
Carefully read and follow all of the safety in-
dications found on the forklift.
●
Make sure that the forklift has sufficient
overhead clearance.
●
Do not park the forklift in front of fire-fighting
devices or fire escapes or anywhere that it
blocks traffic.
●
If the forklift shows signs of failure or break-
age and there is reason to consider it un-
safe, stop, park it, and notify the mainte-
nance manager.
●
Maintain appropriate distances from high
voltage overhead cables. Comply with the
safety distances established by the compe-
tent authorities.
●
Never raise the load using just one fork.
●
Place the load on the fork carriage or in
such a way that the centre of gravity of the
load is as close as possible to the fork car-
riage.
●
The load must be placed on the fork arms
so that the centre of gravity falls lengthwise
on the mid point between the fork arms.
●
Do not drive with loads off-centre laterally
with respect to the forklift's median axis.
Lack of compliance with this regulation can
compromise forklift stability.
●
Make sure that the surface on which the
load rests is able to support its weight.
●
Always use safety clothing compliant with
current regulations and any personal pro-
tective equipment that may be applicable.
●
Do not travel on loose or hilly ground or on
steps.
●
Do not drive with loads raised more than
300 mm from ground level.
●
Do not turn or stack on slopes.
●
Reduce speed on slopes.
●
Do not overload the forklift beyond the ca-
pacity limits indicated on the capacity
plates.
●
Individuals under the influence of drugs and
alcohol are not permitted to use the truck.
●
The operator may not use an MP3 player or
any electrical device that may distract their
attention from the surrounding work envi-
ronment.
Flooring requirements
The work floor must be even and free of holes
or dips, which can be difficult to get around.
Any steps must be equipped with ramps to
prevent impacts with the wheels, which affect
the entire structure of the truck.
