Environmental Limitations; Noise And Vibration - nifty Heightrider HR17 SP50 HYBRID SERIES 4x4 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

2.1.38
2.1.39
The operator shall implement means provided to protect against use by unauthorised persons.
2.1.40
Never remove anything that may affect the stability of the machine such as, but not limited to, batteries,
covers, engines, tyres or ballast.
2.2

ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS

Unless specifically configured otherwise, the machine will have a short operational time in extreme
temperatures such as freezers and cold storage, due to reduced battery performance. For electrical
cables and components, the temperature must be within the range -5°C to 60°C.
The machine is limited in high temperatures because of the cooling requirement for engines and
hydraulic oil. Coolant temperatures must be within the range -37°C to 110°C (at 50% mixture of water
to anti-freeze). Oil temperature must not exceed –23°C to 93°C.
The recommended operational range for these machines is - 5°C to +40°C. Please contact
Niftylift Ltd for special considerations if the machine is required to operate outside these
temperatures.
Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended, frequent cleaning will be necessary. All
dust, dirt, salt encrustation, excess oil or grease should be removed. Deposits of paint or bitumen,
particularly on legends or labels should be removed.
All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 12.5 m/s, which equates to 45kph / 28mph
or force 6 on the Beaufort scale. No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind strengths
above this limit and if the operator has any doubts over the wind speed he / she should cease operation
immediately until it can be established that the wind speed has fallen to a safe level.

NOISE AND VIBRATION

The airborne noise emission on the Height Rider range of machines does not exceed 79dB(A),
measured at a perpendicular distance of 4m, under equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure
test conditions. This was based on a Diesel powered machine, working on high throttle, and under
load. All other models will exhibit significantly lower emissions than this figure, dependant on power
option. In normal operation the Vibration level to which the operator is subjected will not exceed a
weighted root mean square acceleration value of 2.5 m/s
