A Application The truck described in the present operator manual is an industrial truck designed for lifting and transporting load units. It must be used, operated and maintained according to the information in these operation manual. Any other uses are outside the design envelope and can lead to injury to persons or damage to equipment and property.
Page 8
Intended use The following operations are in accordance with regulations and are permitted: Order picking of goods • Taking goods up or down from areas not comfortably reached without a ladder • Lifting and lowering by the operator on the operating platform •...
Page 9
•Do not stack loads or turn when driving on a ramp. •Do not operate the truck on loose or greasy surfaces. •Do not drive on uneven or obstructed surfaces. Never park the truck in a place that may obstruct fire extinguishers, fire escapes or aisles. •Do not dismount from the truck while it is moving.
Page 10
B Truck Description Application The truck is an electric one which is designed to transport and pick goods on level ground. Small items can be placed and carried on the storage table. The low overall height and platform height allow it to be driven through doorways. The low net weight means. that it can travel on lifts.
Page 11
Controls and Displays The drive functions are activated via ergonomic thumb movement to ensure fatigue-free operation without stressing the wrists; The display units show important driver information such as truck status reports (e.g. faults), battery capacity and time etc. Hydraulic system All hydraulic operations are controlled by a hydraulic pump.

Platform safety KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE FLOOR BOARD Don't climb on any part of the vehicleor use any other item to standon. SAFETY FUNCTION OF THE GATE The gates must be closed before you can lift or drive, the gates are kept closed while you are lifted. Don't try to force the gates to open while you are lifted.
Page 30
Be a safe operator DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY, BE ALERT Keep the gates closed when you are elevated. Keep your entire body inside the operator area, no matter how slow the vehicle is moving. A hand or foot caught between the vehicle and a solid object will be crushed or even cut off.
Page 31
Be careful you don't pin or crush someone. For example: Never drive your vehicle toward anyone standing in front of a fixed object. Never allow passengers anywhere on your vehicle. Make certain the area around and under you is clear of people before lowering or traveling.
Page 32
WATCH OUT FOR PEOPLE AROUND YOU Pedestrians always have the right-of-way. They can't control your vehicle. Start out slowly and don't drive too close to them. Be careful at intersections. Check around the vehicle and under the platform before lowering or driving. THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE FOR PASSENGERS Never allow anyone to stand or ride anywhere on your vehlicle.
Page 33
AVOID TIPOVERS Never overload your vehicle. Distribute loads evenly Watch out for overhead obstructions like pipes or electrical conduits. Stay away from the drop-offs. Be sure your path is clear of debris,holes or anything that could cause a tip over. KEEP YOUR VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL Do not drive on ramps and grades if the platform is not fully lowered.
