Operation Commissioning Commissioning Commissioning If the vehicle is delivered only partially assem- bled, ensure before commissioning that the whole truck has been professionally assem- bled. All hydraulic and electrical connections have to be checked. The connections, which must be disassembled for shipping should be reassembled carefully.
Page 39
Operation Commissioning Hooking on the chassis NOTE We always recommend the use of textile straps so as to protect the paintwork of your truck. Shims may be required to protect the harnesses from sharp edges. • The lifting points for the chassis are the two posts on the overhead guard and the post between the load wheels.
Operation Commissioning Hooking on the horizontal lift mast If the lift mast has to be crane-loaded in a horizontal position, suitable shackles should be used in the indicated bores at the top end of the mast. At the lower end, a textile strap can be wound around the cross web in the beam support of the sideshift.
Page 41
Operation Commissioning WARNING Risk of explosion For newly charged batteries in particular, be aware of the risk of explosion in the gassing area. The openings in the gassing area of the battery must not be covered or fully closed. An unrestricted air supply is required to prevent the formation of potentially explosive gas mixtures.
Page 42
Operation Commissioning NOTE Gel batteries are subject to special char- ging/maintenance/handling instructions. The guidelines from the respective manufacturer must be observed. CAUTION Risk of damage to property Incorrect battery chargers can cause total battery failure. Commissioning If your truck is equipped with a Euro battery male connector, make sure that the voltage index pin is in the correct position.
Operation Commissioning CAUTION Risk of short circuit Do not clamp or crush battery cables. Battery replacement The battery rests on roller channels as stan- dard and can be installed and removed from the side using a crane or a suitable truck. The battery can optionally be replaced using an optional battery change frame.

Operation Load pick-up Changing the aisle If the truck is to be driven out of one aisle and into another, the following notes must be observed: – Drive the truck completely out of the aisle. – Drive out of the aisle slowly and beware of any people or other trucks in the transfer aisle.
Operation Load pick-up Load capacity diagram The load capacity specified on the load capacity diagram (1) is dependent on the configuration and can therefore vary from truck to truck. The load capacity diagram and the load capacity restrictions indicated for certain application conditions must be observed without fail so that stability of the truck is not impaired.
Operation Emergency operation NOTE Ensure that the fork arrest mechanism is always latched in place and that the lateral fork safeguard (2) is mounted and in correct working order. Otherwise the fork could be pushed off the load carriage as a result of lateral forces and fall to the ground.

Optional Equipment Inductive guidance IZF System description A frequency generator supplies AC to a wire installed in the floor. This AC is registered as a signal by a load-side and a drive-side antenna and is evaluated for guiding the truck. After signal evaluation, a computer guides the truck along the wire groove.
Optional Equipment Inductive guidance IZF – Drive the truck further towards the wire groove. As soon as the controller has de- tected the induction signal via the first an- tenna, the steering starts to move automat- ically and guides the truck at creep speed onto the wire groove.
Optional Equipment Working platforms Working platforms The use of working platforms in conjunction with industrial trucks is regulated by national law. This legislation should be observed. The use of working platforms is only permitted by virtue of the legislation in the country of use. Before using working platforms, consult your national regulatory authorities.
Optional Equipment Clipboard Clipboard You have the option of using a clipboard (1) to secure your work papers to. This clipboard can be inserted into a slot in the multifunctional panel. To do so, the standard cover of the multifunctional panel must be removed. Working spotlights For safety reasons, there is an option to have the truck fitted with one or several working...
Optional Equipment Working spotlights Electronic access control The truck can be equipped with electronic access control as an option. In this case, the key switch is replaced by a button in the operating panel. Access control using a chip card To switch on the truck, either first press the button in the operating panel for approximately one second and then insert the correct chip...
Page 85
Optional Equipment Electronic access control Access control using a "PIN code" The truck functions can be activated via a 5-digit PIN code. After the button in the op- erating panel has been actuated, a message appears on the display (1) and the symbol (3) flashes.
Optional Equipment Two-pedal design As with other vehicles, the position of the accelerator pedal defines the speed of travel. Cancelling the accelerator pedal automatically throttles back the speed of travel (braked, no idling). The vehicle then continues to move at the speed thus selected. If the pedal is released fully, the vehicle is braked to a standstill.
Optional Equipment Attachments NOTE The fork arm positioner can only be actuated without a load on the fork. Programming the intermediate stop As an option, an intermediate stop* can be programmed within the adjustment range. – Actuate the fork adjustment. –...
Page 88
CAUTION Risk of accident, risk of crushing – Make settings only when the truck is at a stand- still. – The pedal plate and seat console move during the adjustment. Therefore, keep your fingers away from the moving parts. Actuate the rocker switch with one hand and place the other hand on the joystick.
Optional Equipment Electrical seat adjustment For optimum adaptation of the driver’s com- partment to suit the size of the operator, you can use this option to electrically adjust both the position of the driver’s seat and the pedal plate. Press the rocker switch (1) in the operating panel up or down accordingly until the position is comfortable.
Optional Equipment Telescopic table Telescopic table Description The load capacity specified on the load capac- ity diagram is dependent on the configuration and can therefore vary from truck to truck. The load capacity diagram and the load capacity restrictions indicated for certain application conditions must be observed without fail so that stability of the truck is not impaired.
Page 91
Optional Equipment Telescopic table • Do not subject to extreme atmospheric conditions • The inspection and maintenance intervals are shortened in volatile and very damp environments • Do not subject to shear forces, e.g. shifting of the load with the fork profile extended in a longitudinal and lateral direction.
Optional Equipment Height preselection system without function without function Horn Height preselection system The heights of the available racking supports must be entered into the system. This hap- pens via a teach-in process. A maximum of 8 different storage areas (A–H) may be defined. However, this is only useful if there are areas in the high racks with different rack clear- ances.
Page 93
Optional Equipment Height preselection system on the fork, the controller can automatically switch to "deposit procedure" or "remove from stock procedure". If this option is not available, the operator must use the buttons to select the appropriate procedure. NOTE The teach-in process must be carried out by authorised service personnel.
