Jungheinrich DFG 660 Operating Instructions Manual page 94

Negotiating slopes and inclines
Negotiating slopes or inclines up to 15% is only permitted if they are specifically
designed as travel routes, are clean and have a non-slip surface and providing they
can be safely travelled along in accordance with the truck's technical specifications.
The truck must always be driven with the load unit facing uphill. The industrial truck
must not be turned, operated at an angle or parked on inclines or slopes. Inclines must
only be negotiated at slow speed, with the driver ready to brake at any moment.
Particular care is required when travelling near slopes and quay walls.
Negotiating lifts and docks
Lifts may only be entered if they have sufficient capacity, are suitable for driving on
and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The driver must satisfy himself of the
above before entering these areas. The truck must enter lifts with the load in front and
must take up a position which does not allow it to come into contact with the walls of
the lift shaft. People travelling in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter the lift
after the truck has come to a halt and must exit the lift before the truck. The driver must
ensure that the loading ramp / bridge cannot move or come loose during loading /
unloading.
Type of loads to be carried
The operator must make sure that the load is in a satisfactory condition. Loads must
always be positioned safely and carefully. Use suitable precautions to prevent parts
of the load from tipping or falling down. Prevent liquid loads from sloshing out.
Inflammable liquids (e.g. fused metal etc.) may only be transported with suitable
auxiliary equipment. Contact your authorized Jungheinrich customer adviser.
Z
For safety instructions on the nature of loads to be carried with attachments,(see
"Lifting, transporting and depositing loads" on page 109).
Towing trailers
The truck may only be used occasionally to tow trailers, (see "Towing trailers" on
page 123)
DANGER!
Exhaust emissions can be fatal
The truck must only be operated in well ventilated areas. If the truck is operated in
enclosed areas, this can lead to a build-up of harmful exhaust emissions, resulting
in dizziness, tiredness and even death.
The user must comply with legal requirements, technical standards and health and
safety regulations when operating an IC motor powered lift truck in closed rooms.
