OPERATIONS
NOTE: Always wear safety shoes when working
with the truck.
NOTE: Always wear protective glasses when
assembling or dismantling the truck to avoid
personal injury.
NOTE: The truck must not be used if it is
damaged or has any faults that affect safety
or its safe use. Also do not use the truck if it
has been repaired or adjusted unless it has
been checked and approved by an authorized
service technician.
OPERATING THE TRUCK
• The truck may be used only on a firm and even
surface, such as concrete or asphalt.
• It is not permitted to use the truck: In areas where
the atmosphere contains gases that can cause
fire or explosion. In such environments, a special
explosion-proof truck is required.
• To transport/lift passengers.
• In cold stores or salty and other corrosive
environments.
• Use a stainless steel truck in this type of environment.
OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
• The truck shall only be driven with care, good
judgement and in a responsible manner.
• The truck should not be driven with oily hands or oily
shoes due to the risk of slipping.
• Never wear loose objects or jewelry when working
on the truck.
WORKING AREA
• Ensure that the floor where the truck is to be used
has sufficient load bearing capacity for the total
weight of the truck including the maximum load.
• Take special care if there are protruding parts from
racks, shelves or walls that can cause injury or
damage the truck.
• It is prohibited for persons to be present in the area
around the truck when there is a risk of personal
injury, e.g. areas that can be reached by falling
goods, lowering load handling devices or in the
truck’s manoeuvring area.

OPERATIONS
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
• Avoid cornering at high speed.
• Pay particular attention to other personnel as well
as fixed and moving objects within the working area
and thereby avoid accidents.
• Always pull the truck behind you if the load blocks
the view.
CAUTION! When operating on inclines, the truck
must be operated with extreme care with the
load facing downwards in the direction of the
incline. Use trucks with a hand brake.
WARNING! Braking shall take place gently and
carefully to prevent the load from slipping off
of the forks and causing damage.
CAUTION! Adapt the speed according to the
incline and surface.
• Always keep a safe distance from the edges of
loading docks and loading ramps. Be attentive to
marked risk areas.
• Before the truck is driven on to a loading ramp
ensure that the ramp is correctly secured and has
the necessary load bearing capacity. Drive slowly
and carefully across the ramp.
• When the truck is driven on to another vehicle, make
sure the vehicle is stable and that the brakes have
been applied correctly.
• Before the truck is driven into a lift, the operator must
make sure the lift is approved for the total weight
of the truck, the load, operator, and any other
passengers in the lift. When entering the lift, the load
must enter first, not the driver. No other personnel
should be in the lift when the load or truck enters or
leaves the lift.
• Any accidents that have caused personal injury
or damage to buildings or equipment must be
reported to the supervisor. Incidents and faults on
the truck shall also be reported.
• Handling loads
• Only handle loads that are within the truck’s
permitted lifting capacity. The length and width of
the forks shall be adapted to the load’s shape and
dimensions.
• Only loads that are stable, evenly distributed on the
forks and safely arranged should be handled.
(See Figure 1)
WARNING! Risk of overturning. Cornering: The
load can fall from the truck if the speed is too
high and cause damage. Cornering with a
high load must be performed with extreme
care.
WARNING! The truck may only be used to
carry goods. It is prohibited to use the truck to
transport persons, and as result it must not be
used as a “scooter”.
WARNING! Risk of crushing under forks. The risk
of crushing can occur when lowering or by a
defect in the hydraulic system and accidental
lowering. Be attentive to the risks of crushing
and ensure that other persons are not in the
immediate vicinity of the truck.
CAUTION! Risk of crushing. If the hands are
placed on the outside of the handle, there
is a risk of crushing in narrow spaces. There
is also a risk of crushing if the hands are kept
between the tow bar and the tow bar bracket,
or between the top cap and the hydraulic unit.
Because of this, be sure to keep the hands only
on the top of the handle when operating the
truck. (See Figure 2)

PARKING THE TRUCK
• When parking the truck, the forks must be
fully lowered.
• Never park the truck on an incline.
• Never park the truck so that it obstructs traffic or
work.
• To prevent malfunction and accidents, the truck
should be maintained regularly according to the
Lubrication diagram. Only qualified and trained
personnel are permitted to maintain, adjust or repair
the truck.
• Only approved original spare parts shall be used
with service and repairs.
• Modifications or conversions to the truck that affect
the safe use or function are not permitted.
• It is recommended that you sign a service and
maintenance agreement with your closest
representative to ensure the truck’s operating
economy and safety.
NOTE: Never neglect daily inspection and
the safety checks. Serious injury can occur
if neglected. Any faults or damage that is
detected, should be reported immediately to
the supervisor. Never use a faulty truck.

SAFETY REGULATIONS WITH MAINTENANCE WORK
• Keep the area where you carry out the service
clean. Oil or water makes the floor slippery.
NOTE: Extreme cleanliness should be observed
at all times when working with the hydraulics.
Dismantled parts should be clean and
inspected carefully. Always replace gaskets
after dismantling.
• Store and dispose of changed oil in accordance
with local directives.
• Do not release solvents and the like, which are
used for cleaning/washing, into drains that are not
intended for this purpose. Follow the local directives
that apply for disposal.
• Remove at least 100 mm (4") of paint around the
welding/grinding area through sand-blasting or the
use of a paint stripper when welding or grinding on
painted surfaces.
CAUTION! Harmful gases. Paint that is heated
gives off harmful gases. Remove 100 mm (4") of
paint from the work area.
WARNING! Risk of crushing. A poorly supported
truck may fall down. To prevent the truck from
overturning, make sure it has been properly
secured.
WARNING! Risk of crushing. There is a risk of
crushing when working on the hydraulic system
if the truck is loaded. Always unload the forks
prior to work on the truck.
CLEANING AND WASHING
• Cleaning and washing of the truck is important to
ensure the truck’s reliability.
• Always lubricate the truck after washing according
