Medical equipment

WARNING
Electromagnetic interference may occur on medical
devices!
Only use equipment that is sufficiently protected
against electromagnetic interference.
Medical equipment, such as pacemakers or
hearing aids, may not work properly when the
truck is in operation.
– Ask your doctor or the manufacturer of
the medical equipment to confirm that the
medical equipment is sufficiently protected
against electromagnetic interference.
Exercise caution when handling gas
springs and accumulators
WARNING
Gas springs are under high pressure. Improper
removal results in an elevated risk of injury.
For ease of operation, various functions on the
truck can be supported by gas springs. Gas springs
are complex components that are subject to high
internal pressures (up to 300 bar). They may under
no circumstances be opened unless instructed to
do so, and may be installed only when not under
pressure. If required, the authorised service centre
will depressurise the gas spring in accordance with
the regulations before removal. Gas springs must
be depressurised before recycling.
– Avoid damage, lateral forces, buckling, tempe-
ratures over 80°C and heavy contamination.
– Damaged or defective gas springs must be
changed immediately.
– Contact the authorised service centre.
WARNING
Accumulators are under high pressure. Improper
installation of an accumulator results in an elevated
risk of injury.
Before starting work on the accumulator it must be
depressurised.
– Contact the authorised service centre.
