Transporting ALWAYS FASTEN THE TRUCK SECURELY WHEN TRANSPORTED ON A LORRY OR A TRAILER. Lower the forks and park the truck securely. Fasten the truck according to Fig. 6 by attaching dedicated lashing straps to the truck and the transport vehicle and tension sufficiently.
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THIS TRUCK, PLEASE FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CHAPTER 3). Make sure, that the load is palletized and stable and that the daily inspection is carried out. Start the truck by activating the key (3). Press the horn button (Fig.7, 15) to activate the audible warning signal.
After starting the truck by the magnetic lock, move the tiller to the working zone (‘F’, Fig.9). Fig. 9: Travel direction definition Turn the accelerator knob to the desired direction forward ‘Fw.’ or backwards Bw.’(Fig. 9). Control travelling speed by operating the accelerator (Fig.7,14) carefully until you reach desired speed. If you move the accelerator back to the neutral position, the controller will decelerates the truck until the truck stops.
By moving the accelerator knob (14) to the initial ‘0’ position or by releasing the knob, the regenerative braking is activated. The truck brakes until it stops. By moving the accelerator (Fig.7, 14) from one driving direction directly to the opposite direction, the regenerative braking is activated until the truck starts traveling into the opposite direction.
7. BATTERY SAFETY, CHARGING AND REPLACEMENT The lithium-ion battery is a battery with rechargeable cells, the battery is designed for industrial trucks and can withstand related vibrations during operation. The battery is equipped with special connections for charging and discharging operations. Do not try to install or connect improper connectors to the battery.

Do not charge a fully charged battery Note that in order to prevent the battery from continuing restart of charging under fully charged condition causing reduction of battery lifetime, the BMS has a protection function that prohibits recharging of fully charged battery. The charger will not work while battery is fully charged. Potential hazards If equipment is used according to its design purpose, following the correct operations procedures, there are no hazards anticipated.

Pre-shift checks before the system is put into operation Check that the battery is in its normal condition, has no evidence of damages, leakages, abnormal findings, e.g. high temperature, smell, smoke etc. The surface of the battery should be clean and dry, without evidence of water damages, marks of rust on terminals and housing (if applicable).
Fault Code When a fault code is generated, firstly all four battery indicator lights are on, then the first (most left) battery indicator flashes and counts, then multiply this number by ten for the first number; when the fourth (most right) battery indicator flashes, counts the times for the second number; Plus these two numbers you will get the fault code.
