Starting up the truck Before the truck can be commissioned, operated or a load unit lifted, the driver must ensure that there is nobody within the hazardous area. The electronic traction and steering controllers monitor their own operation. They inhibit travel in the event of an error. Checks and operations to be performed before starting daily work –...
Using the industrial truck Safety regulations for truck operation Travel routes and work areas: Only use lanes and routes specifically designated for truck traffic. Unauthorised third parties must stay away from work areas. Loads must only be stored in places specially designated for this purpose. Driving conduct: The driver must adapt the travel speed to local conditions.
Travelling, Steering, Braking Never carry passengers. Emergency Disconnect – Remove the battery connector (1). All electrical functions are deactivated. Automatic braking Automatic braking occurs when the tiller is released – the tiller automatically sets itself to the upper brake zone (B). If the tiller moves slowly to the upper brake zone, the cause of this fault must be rectified.
Page 45
Crawl speed The driver must be particularly careful when applying the “Crawl speed” switch (7). The truck can be operated with a vertical tiller (6) (e.g. in congested areas / travel seat). – Press the crawl speed button (7). – Set the controller (8) to the required direction (fwd. or rev.). The brake is released.
Page 46
Braking with the Coasting Brake: If the travel switch is set to 0, the truck automatically brakes regeneratively. In hazardous situations set the tiller to the brake position. The coasting brake is adjustable (controller parameter setting, see chapter E). Parking brake: The mechanical brake (handbrake) applies when the truck comes to rest.
Collecting and depositing loads Before lifting a load, the driver must ensure that it is correctly palletised and that the capacity of the truck is not exceeded. – Drive the truck with forks as far as possible underneath the load. With the two-stage Duplex mast (ZZ) a short, centre-mounted free lift cylinder initially lifts the load carriage (free lift) without changing the overall height of the truck.
Emergency lowering Keep all personnel out of the hazardous area when applying emergency lowering. If the mast cannot be lowered any further due to a fault in the controller, manually activate the valve (14) on the hydraulic unit.. – Set key switch (3) to “0”. –...
Park the truck securely When you leave the truck it must be securely parked even if you only intend to leave it for a short time. Do not park the truck on a slope. The load forks must always be lowered to the ground.
