Jungheinrich ESD 220 Operating Instructions Manual page 72

Travel visibility
The operator must look in the direction of travel and must always have a clear view
of the route ahead. If the truck is carrying loads that affect visibility, the truck must
travel against the load direction. If this is not possible, a second person must walk
alongside the truck as a lookout to observe the travel route while maintaining eye
contact with the operator. Proceed only at walking pace and with particular care.
Stop the truck as soon as you lose eye contact.
DANGER!
Tipovers can result in fatal accidents
If the truck is in danger of tipping over, incorrect operator action can result in serious
injury and death.
uDo not jump off the truck if it tips over.
uIf the truck tips over on the right side of the load direction, hold onto the option bar

Negotiating slopes and inclines
Negotiating slopes and inclines up to 14 % is only permitted when they are
recognised lanes. The slopes and inclines must be clean, have a non-slip surface,
and negotiating them safely must be within the technical specifications of the truck.
The truck must always be driven with the load facing uphill. The industrial truck must
not be turned, operated at an angle or parked on inclines or slopes. Inclines must
only be negotiated at slow speed, with the driver ready to brake at any moment.
