Appendix JH Traction Battery Operating Instructions These operating instructions apply only to Jungheinrich battery models. If using another brand, refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
A Correct use and application The “Guidelines for the Correct Use and Application of Industrial Trucks” (VDMA) are supplied with the truck. The guidelines form part of these operating instructions and must be observed. National regulations apply in full. The truck described in the present operator manual is an industrial truck designed for lifting and transporting load units.
Truck Safety mechanisms: An enclosed truck geometry with rounded edges ensures safe handling of the truck. The overhead guard protects the driver from falling objects. The Emergency Disconnect switch immediately cuts out all truck movements in hazardous situations. Safety gates on either side of the cab disable all truck movements as soon as they are opened.
Hydraulic system: All hydraulic movements are controlled by a maintenance-free AC motor with a flanged low emission gear pump. Oil is distributed via magnetic switch valves. The varying oil requirements are controlled by the speed of the motor. During a lowering operation the hydraulic pump drives the motor which then acts as a generator (regenerative lowering).
EN norms EKS 410 EKS 513 - 515 Noise emission: 61 dB(A) 68 dB(A) in accordance with EN 12053 as harmonised with ISO 4871. The noise emission level is calculated in accordance with standard procedures and takes into account the noise level when travelling, lifting and when idle. The noise level is measured at the driver’s ear.
