Environmental Limitations; Noise & Vibration - nifty 170SD series Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

2.1.35
The engine must be shut down while fuel tanks are being filled. Fuelling must be done in a well
ventilated area free of flame, sparks or any other hazard which may cause fire or explosion.
PETROL (GASOLINE), LIQUID PROPANE AND DIESEL FUELS ARE FLAMMABLE.
2.1.36
2.1.37
The operator shall implement means provided to protect against use by unauthorised persons.
2.1.38
Never remove anything that may affect the stability of the machine such as, but not limited to,
batteries, covers, engines, tyres or ballast.
2.2

ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS

All Niftylift Self Drives are limited to operation as previously described. Unless specifically
configured otherwise, the machine will have short time rating for operation in extreme temperatures,
i.e. reduced battery cycle times for low temperatures, e.g. freezers, food storage etc, cooling
limitations for high temperatures, i.e. oil temperature not to exceed -23 to 93° Celsius.
Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended, frequent cleaning will be
necessary. All dust, dirt, salt encrustation, excess oil or grease should be removed. Deposits of
paint or bitumen, particularly on legends or labels should be removed.
All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 12.5 m/s, which equates to 45kph /
28mph or force 6 on the Beaufort scale. No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind
strengths above this limit and if the operator has any doubts over the wind speed he / she should
cease operation immediately until it can be established that the wind speed has fallen to a safe
level.
2.3 NOISE AND VIBRATION
The airborne noise emission on the 170SD range of machines does not exceed 79dB(A), measured
at a perpendicular distance of 4m, under equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure test
conditions. This was based on a Diesel powered machine, working on high throttle, and under load.
All other models will exhibit significantly lower emissions than this figure, dependant on power
option.
In normal operation the Vibration level to which the operator is subjected will not exceed a weighted
root mean square acceleration value of 2.5 m/s
