INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATOR
FOREWORD
The risk of accident while using, servicing or repairing your lift truck can be restricted if you follow the safety instructions and safety measures detailed in these instruction.
Failure to respect the safety and operating instructions, or the instructions for repairing or servicing your lift truck may lead to serious, even fatal accident.
- Only the operations and manoeuvres described in these operator's manual must be performed. The manufacturer cannot
predict all possible risky situations. Consequently, the safety instructions given in the operator's manual and on the lift
truck itself are not exhaustive.
- At any time, as an operator, you must envisage, within reason, the possible risk to yourself, to others or to the lift truck
itself when you use it.
In order to reduce or prevent any danger with a MANITOU-approved attachment, follow the instructions in Paragraph: 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS AS OPTIONS ON THE
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A - OPERATOR'S MANUAL
- Read the operator's manual carefully.
- The operator's manual must always be in good condition and in the place provided for it on the lift truck.
- You must report any plates and stickers which are no longer legible or which are damaged.
B - AUTHORISATION FOR USE IN FRANCE
(or see current legislation in other countries).
- Only qualified, authorized personnel can use the lift truck. This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate person
in the establishment with respect to the use of lift trucks and must be carried permanently by the operator.
- The operator is not competent to authorise the driving of the lift truck by another person.
C - MAINTENANCE
- The operator must immediately advise his superior if his lift truck is not in good working order or does not comply with
the safety notice.
- The operator is prohibited from carrying out any repairs or adjustments himself, unless he has been trained for this
purpose. He must keep the lift truck properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.
- The operator is responsible for carrying out daily maintenance (
- The operator is responsible for deciding and adjusting the frequency of cleaning needed to prevent the risk of fire ensuing
from the build-up of flammable material(s). The operator should pay special attention to all the areas of the lift truck
where these risk materials are likely to accumulate.
D - TYRES
- The operator must ensure tyres are adapted to the nature of the ground (see area of the contact surface of the tyres in
the chapter: 2 - DESCRIPTION: TYRES). There are optional solutions, consult your dealer.
• SAND tyres.
• FARM tyres.
• Snow chains.
- The lift truck's four tyres must be the same brand and the same usage category (normal, snow or special), have the same
structure (radial or diagonal) and have the same degree of tread wear.
- In the event of tyre replacement, use tyres authorised by MANITOU that are the same type and dimensions. Using different
tyres voids the lift truck's type approval and you may be liable.
- If you are replacing just one of the lift truck's tyres (e.g. because it is damaged), we recommend choosing a tyre with the
same degree of wear as the remaining tyres so as not the damage the transmission's kinematic chain.
Do not use the lift truck if the tyres are incorrectly inflated, damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own safety or that of others at risk, or cause damage
The fitting of foam inflated tyres is prohibited and is not guaranteed by the manufacturer, excepting prior authorisation.
