C Safety Before operation Before using the truck, inspect the work area. It should be neat, well lit, adequately ventilated, and free from hazardous material. Aisles and roadways should be unobstructed and well ma- rked. Operators must know the classification for the truck and use the truck only in permissible areas.
Travel The truck is designed for operation on smooth, dry surfaces such as warehouse and factory floors, loading docks or paved areas. Under all travel conditions operate the truck at a speed that will permit it to be brought to a stop in a safe manner. Avoid running over loose objects on the roadway surface.
Be especially cautious when driving the truck on ramps or bridge plates. Be sure to maintain a safe distance from each edge. Before driving the truck over a ramp or bridge plate, verify that its position is secured to prevent movement. Never exceed the rated capacity of a ramp or bridge plate.
1.5 EMC-Electromagnetic compatibility Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a key quality feature of the truck. EMC involves • Limiting the emission of electromagnetic interference to a level that ensures the troublefree operation of other equipment in the environment. • Ensuring sufficient resistance to external electromagnetic interference so as to guarantee proper operation at the planned usage location under the electromagnetic interference conditions to be expected there An EMC test thus firstly measures the electro-magnetic interference emitted by the truck and secondly checks it for sufficient resistance to...
D Transport And Commissioning Truck transport Place the truck on a wooden pallet. NOTE Only use haulage equipment with sufficient load capacity. • The load weight is greater than the net weight of the truck (including battery weight). The load weight does not just include the net weight of the truck, it also includes the wooden pallet.
Using the truck for the first time The truck must only be operated on battery current! To prepare the truck for operation after delivery or transportation, the following operations must be performed: • Check the equipment for completeness. • If necessary, install the battery. Make sure that the battery cable is not damaged. Charge the battery.
E Operation Safety regulations for the operation of pallet trucks Driving permission: The fork lift truck must only be operated by persons who have been trained in the operation of trucks, who have demonstrated to the user or his representative their capability of moving and handling loads, and who have expressly been charged by the user or his representative with the operation of the truck.
The truck is equipped with a static-return-to-neutral function. If the control handle is held in its working range (M) when the truck is turned on, the travel function will not operate. The control handle must then be returned to either end position and then moved back into its working range to enable travel.
Counter-current braking: • While driving, switch the controller to the opposite direction. The truck is decelerated by counter-current braking until it starts moving in the opposite • direction. In case of emergency, the service brake must be used to brake the truck. Braking using the service brake: Tilt the control shaft upwards or downwards into one of the braking ranges (B).
