Correct use and application The “Guidelines for the Correct Use and Application of Industrial Trucks” (VDMA) are supplied with the truck. The guidelines form part of these operating instructions and must be observed. National regulations apply in full. The truck described in the present operator manual is an industrial truck designed for lifting and transporting load units.
1. Truck Description 1.1Application The truck is a tiller operated electric stacker with a folding operator platform and side arms.The truck is designed for lifting and transporting goods on a level surface. The truck can pick up, outside the load wheel area, open bottom or diagonal board pallets as well as roll cages .
1.2.1Folding operator pedal Folding operator pedal have two state: fold and unfold. While the state of Folding operator pedal changed the Travel speed (Max) changed too. Because of gas spring the folding operator pedal can fold self-motion. 1.2.2Safety Gate Travel speed (Max) will change when the state of side arm is changed.
1.2.4 Key switch Switches control current on and off. Truck power supply is break off when the key turn "OFF". Truck power supply is turn on when the key turn "ON". Removing the key prevents the truck from being switched on by unauthorised personnel.

– Check the hydraulic oil level. – Install the battery if necessary, (see "4.4 Battery removal and installation" ). – Charge the battery, (see "4.3 Charging the battery"). 2.3During brake-in We recommended operating the machine under light load conditions for the first stage of operation to get the most from it.
3.Operation 3.1Safety Regulations for the Operation of stackers Driver authorisation: The stacker may only be used by suitably trained personnel, who have demonstrated to the proprietor or his representative that they can drive and handle loads and have been authorised to operate the truck by the proprietor or his representative.
3.2Starting up the truck 3.2.1 Preparing Before the truck can be commissioned, operated or a load unit lifted, the driver must ensure that there is nobody within the hazardous area. Checks and operations to be performed before starting daily work –...
3.2.2Travelling, Steering, Braking Never carry passengers. Be extremely careful when driving and steering,especially when operating outside the geometry of the truck. Emergency Disconnect –Drawing back the emergency stop switch . All electrical functions are deactivated. Emergency Stop Automatic braking (emergency stop) occurs when the control handle (3) is released–the tiller automatically reverts to the upper brake zone (B).
– by plugging – by using the operating brake – with the emergency stop switch (Emergency Disconnect) By Plugging: – When travelling, set the controller to the opposite direction. The truck brakes regeneratively until it starts to move in the opposite direction. The rate of braking depends on the position of the controller.
Lower Press “Lower” button(13) until the lowest position. 3.2.4 Parking the truck securely When you leave the truck it must be securely parked Warning! even if you only intend to leave it for a short time. Parking the truck securely. •...
4.Battery Maintenance & Charging 4.1 Safety regulations for handling acid batteries Park the truck securely before carrying out any work on the batteries. Maintenance personnel : Batteries may only be charged, serviced or replaced by trained personnel .The present operator manual and the manufacturer ’s instructions concerning batteries and charging stations must be observed when carrying out the work.
Battery Disposal: Batteries may only be disposed of in accordance with national environmental protection regulations or disposal laws.The manufacturer’s disposal instructions must be followed. Before closing the battery cover make sure that the battery lead cannot be damaged. Batteries contain an acid solution which is poisonous and corrosive . Therefore , always wear protective clothing and eye protection when carrying out work on batteries .
Charging step – Check whether condition is according with "Safety regulations for Charging the battery". – Park the truck securely(See 3.2.4 Parking the truck securely). – Expose the battery ( see 4.2.1 Exposing the battery). – Remove the battery connector (29) –...

(2)remove the side panel The truck must be parked on level ground. To prevent short circuits, batteries with exposed terminals or connectors must be covered with a rubber mat. Place the battery connector or the battery cable in such a way that they will not get caught on the truck when the battery is removed.
5.Stacker Maintenance 5.1Operational safety and environmental protection – The servicing and inspection operations contained in this chapter must be performed in accordance with the intervals indicated in the servicing checklists. – Any modification to the stacker assemblies, in particular the safety mechanisms, is prohibited.
Electrical System Only suitably trained personnel may operate on the truck’s electrical system. – Before working on the electrical system, take all precautionary measures to avoid electric shocks. For battery-operated trucks, also de-energise the truck by removing the battery connector. Welding To avoid damaging electric or electronic components, remove these from the truck before performing welding operations.

Checking the hydraulic oil level – Prepare the truck for maintenance and repairs ( See 5.3.3 Maintenance Instructi- ons ). – Opening the front panel(See 5.3.3 Maintenance Instructions). – Check hydraulic oil level in hydraulic reservoir . There is oil level display on the level gauge The Oil level depends on the lift height. The oil level must be checked when the load forks are lowered.
5.4Decommissioning the industrial truck If the industrial truck is to be decommissioned for more than two months , e.g. For operational reasons,it must be parked in a frost-free and dry location and all necessary measures must be taken before, during and after decommissioning as described.
Battery powered trucks: If there are switching problems in the electrical system, apply contact spray to the exposed contacts and remove any oxide layers on the contacts of the operating controls by applying them repeatedly. Perform several brake tests immediately after re-commissioning the truck. 5.5Safety checks to be performed at regular intervals and following any unusual incidents Carry out a safety check in accordance with national regulations.
