Introduction

Improper use

Attachments
Attachments shall only be used as permitted.
The driver shall be instructed in the handling
of attachments.
The attachment operating instructions are en-
closed for trucks that are delivered from the
factory with an attachment. Before commis-
sioning a truck with an attachment, you must
check that loads are handled securely. De-
pending on the type of attachment, it may be
necessary to make adjustments, e.g. pressure
settings or adjusting stops and operating
speeds. See the attachment operating instruc-
tions for the corresponding instructions.
If attachments are not supplied with the indus-
trial truck, the specifications of the industrial
truck manufacturer and the attachment manu-
facturer must be observed.
The attachments and the connection of power
supplies for powered attachments may only be
made by specialists in accordance with the
specifications of the manufacturer. The proper
functioning of the attachments shall be
checked after each installation before initial
use.
Improper use
The operating company or driver, and not the
manufacturer, is liable if the truck is used in a
manner that is not permitted.
WARNING
One of the main causes of accidents is the driver ig-
noring or being unaware of the basic safe operating
practices of the truck.
The following basic safe operating practices must be
observed to ensure the safety of operators and oth-
ers.
DANGER
High risk of injury, death and property damage.
Avoid the use of prohibited substances.
The list below is merely illustrative and not ex-
haustive.

The permissible carrying capacity of the at-
tachments and the permitted load of the indus-
trial truck (carrying capacity and load moment)
combined with the attachments shall not be
exceeded., refer to additional capacity rating
plate.
Modifications, in particular attachments or
conversions, are not permitted to be made to
the industrial truck without the manufacturer's
approval.
Trailers
Industrial trucks may only be used to tow trail-
ers if they are intended for this purpose by the
manufacturer and if they are fitted with the ap-
propriate trailer coupling. The maximum towed
load specified in the operating instructions for
unbraked or braked trailers must not be ex-
ceeded.
The towing industrial truck must be operated
in such away that safe driving and braking of
the towed vehicle is ensured for all driving
movements.
Never operate the truck in environments with
a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Do not carry another passenger (unless a
"two-person seat" is installed).
Do not overload the truck (by exceeding the
rated load indicated on the load designation
plate). Overloading can affect braking distan-
ces, truck stability and the strength of the lift
mast.
Do not pick up an off-centre load.
Do not stand on the fork arms when they are
lifting.
Do not increase the load capacity of the truck,
by adding extra weight, for example.
Do not stack loads or turn when driving on a
ramp.
