Decommissioning For storage, remove the load, lower the truck to the lowest position, grease all in this handbook mentioned greasing points (regular inspection), eventually protect the truck against corrosion and dust. Remove the batteries and jack the truck safely, so that there will be no flattening after storage. For final decommissioning hand the truck to a designated recycling company.
Lifting DO NOT OVERLOAD THE TRUCK! THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS 1600kg(16EP-X) , 2000kg(20EP-X),2500kg.(25EP-X) Travel with the lowered forks fully underneath the pallet until the load and press the lifting button (15) until you reached the desired lifting height. Lowering Press the lowering button (15) carefully.
Control the travelling speed by moving the accelerator button (4) carefully until you reached the desired speed. If you move the accelerator button back to the neutral position, the controller decelerates the truck until the truck stops. If the truck stopped, the parking brake will be engaged. Drive carefully the truck to the destination.

Battery lifetime and maintenance The lithium-ion batteries are maintenance-free. Full discharge can damage the battery Self-discharge can cause the battery to fully discharged state. Full discharge shortens the service life of the battery and can cause deep discharge and activation of related safety protocols when battery will not be able to be charged anymore.
Faults If any damage is found to the battery or battery charger contact the service provider immediately. Do not open the battery. Disposal and transport of a lithium-ion battery Instructions for disposal Lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the relevant national environmental protection regulations.
