PS, PSH: Open the battery cover and thread the strap under it
so that the cover is not damaged by the pressure.

Lifting the forks

Unsecured forks may be lifted by means of a strop intended for
the purpose, as in the illustration. The forks are fitted and
removed by being balanced on a piece of wood and pulled or
pushed by hand off or on to the truck.

Normal operating conditions

Stacking must be carried out on firm, clean and level ground.
SAFETY REGULATIONS 15

Exceptional operating conditions

When the operating conditions differ from the normal conditions
above, the following steps must be taken:
• If the working conditions are of a permanent nature, an
agreement must be drawn up with the supervisory
authority and any other party concerned.
• If the working conditions are of a temporary nature, take
suitable measures, such as using a larger truck, or
reducing the load appropriately.

Work in hazardous environments

A truck operating in an area where there is a risk of fire,
explosion, or in any other high risk area, must be specially
equipped for the purpose.
WARNING!
A truck is not normally equipped for these situations.

Parking

The truck must never be left unattended other than when in the
intended parking space. The truck should always be parked on
level ground. The parking brake must always be engaged. The
forks must be lowered to their lowest position so that nobody
can trip on them. Always turn off the truck so that it is cannot be
operated. If the truck is equipped with a PIN code, the truck
should be "logged off" so that a new code is required to restart,
thereby preventing unauthorised use. See section Switching off
