A Correct use and application of the truck
A
The “Guidelines for the Correct Use and Application of Industrial Trucks” (VDMA) are included in the scope of delivery for this truck. The guidelines are part of these ope- rating instructions and must always be heeded. National regulations are fully applica- ble.
The fork-lift truck described in these operating instructions is a truck that is suitable for lifting and transporting loads. It must be used, operated and maintained according to the information in these ope- rating instructions. Any other uses are outside the design envelope and can lead to injury to persons or damage to equipment and property. Above all, overloading caused by excessively heavy or unbalanced loads must be avoided. The max. admis- sible load to be picked up is indicated on the identification plate or load diagram label shown on the truck. The fork-lift truck must not be operated in spaces subject to fire or explosion hazards, or in spaces where corrosive or very dusty atmospheres pre- vail.
Duties of the user: A “user” within the meaning of these operating instructions is de- fined as any natural or legal person who either uses the fork-lift truck himself, or on whose behalf it is used. In special cases (e.g. leasing or renting), the user is conside- red the person, who, in accordance with existing contractual agreements between the owner and the user of the fork-lift truck, is charged with the observance of the opera- ting duties. The user must ensure that the truck is not abused and only used within its design li- mits and that all danger to life and limb of the operator, or third parties, is avoided. In addition to this, it must be ensured that the relevant accident prevention regulations and other safety-related provisions, as well as the operating, servicing and mainte- nance guidelines, are observed. The user must also ensure that all persons operating the truck have read and understood these operating instructions.
m
If these Operating Instruction are not observed the warranty becomes void. The same applies if improper work is carried out on the device by the customer and/or third par- ties without permission of our Customer Service.
Mounting of attachments: The mounting or installation of any attachments which will interfere with, or supplement, the functions of the truck is permitted only after writ- ten approval by the manufacturer has been obtained. If necessary, the approval of local authorities has to be obtained. Any approval obtained from local authorities does not, however, make the approval by the manufacturer unnecessary.

2.1 Truck
Safety devices Closed, smooth truck contour. The drive wheels (11) are protected
by a sturdy collision guard. It protects the load against collisions. All electric functions can be disabled in case of danger using the key switch (4) or the main switch (EMERGENCY STOP) (5). The driving function is disabled when the driver door is open.
Superstructure: The fork-lift truck is a 4-wheel truck with two steered drive wheels (11). Easy to open balcony with integrated instruments, easy to open drive compartment covering and hinged flap provide easy access to all units for servicing. The controls are ergonomically arranged.
Drive system: The two complete drive units are screwed into the truck chassis. Two stationary three-phase motors with a performance of 6 kW each act on the drive wheels (11) via evel gears. The electronic drive controllers allow the drive motor speed to be continuously regulated and thus ensure smooth, joltless starting, powerful acceleration and electronically controlled braking with energy regeneration. The energy regeneration ratio can be set with the LISA.
Steering: Bevel gear steering with two steering drive units and fully electronic controller as series feature. The pivoted gears can be swiveled by 90° to both sides.
Controls and indicators: Controls and indicators are clearly arranged at the driver position. The hydraulics control knob (2) allows single-handed operation of the travel direction, lifting/lowering and horn functions. In conjunction with the accelerator pedal, it is also is used for diagonal travel. Information and service display (LISA) (1) with large LC display, integrated operating hours counter and battery discharge indicator with lift cut-off function.
Hydraulic system: The hydraulics control knob activates the lifting and lowering functions. By activating the lifting function, the pump unit starts and feeds hydraulic oil from the oil oil reservoir into the lifting cylinder.
Electric system: 48-Volt two-wire system. Two electronic drive current controllers and two electric steering controllers are series features.
Brake system: Two independent brake systems act on the drive wheel. The service brake, being a hydraulic drum brake with asbestos-free brake shoes is activated with the foot pedal. The parking brake (3) acts mechanically (pressure spring) on the drum brake via cables. The information and service display (LISA) monitors the brake fluid level. A warning indicator lights up when the parking brake is applied. Malfunctions of the steering and parking brake system (EMERGENCY STOP activation) are displayed on the information and service display (LISA).

2 Commissioning
m
Operate the truck on battery power only! Rectified alternate current will damage the electronic components. Cables connected to the battery (trailing cables) must be less than 6 meters in length.
To make the truck operational after delivery or transport, perform the following steps:
– Install the battery if applicable; do not damage the battery cables. – Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D). – Remove the parking brake shipping restraint if applicable!
(see section 3). – Commission the truck as stipulated.
(see chapter E).
3 Parking brake shipping restraint
f
The shipping restraint must be removed prior to commissioning the truck. The shipping restraint locks the pressure spring acting on the parking brake, causing the truck to be unbraked when it is deenergised.
The shipping restraint is inserted when the truck is delivered with an uncharged battery.
The shipping restraint consists of a KL securing ring (3) fastened to a red cable strap visibly protruding from the seat door. The KL securing ring is fitted on the solenoid armature. This prevents the pressure spring from applying the brake.
Removing the shipping restraint:
– Connect a charged battery. – Open the seat door.
(see chapter F). – Pull the KL securing ring (3) with
the cable strap off the armature.
m
Never remove the second KL securing ring present on the armature during commissioning!

6 Information and service display (LISA)
Battery discharge indicator: The LISA display indicates the battery discharge state
(6) in 10% steps.
m
By default, the battery discharge indicator / discharge monitor is adjusted to standard batteries. When maintenance-free batteries are used, the indicator must be adjusted such that the T symbol (7) appears after the percentage display. The battery can be damaged by total discharge if this adjustment is not performed. We recommend to have the manufacturer’s service personnel make the adjustment.
The battery must be recharged at a residual capacity of 20% for standard batteries or 40% for maintenance-free batteries.
Battery discharge monitor: The lifting function is cut off when the residual capacity drops below the minimum threshold. An appropriate message appears on the LISA.
A
Once the lift cut-off has been activated, it is re-enabled at a battery capacity of 70 % only.
Operating hours counter: The operating hours (8) are indicated next to the battery discharge state. The operating hours counter indicates the overall times of driving and lifting movements.

4 Operation of the fork lift truck
4.1 Safety regulations applicable when operating the truck
Driving lanes and work areas: Only such lanes and routes that are specially allo-
cated for truck traffic must be used. Unauthorized persons must stay away from work areas. Loads must only be stored at places specially provided for this purpose.
Driving conduct: The travelling speed must be adapted to the prevailing local con- ditions. The truck must be driven at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow passages, when passing through swing doors and at blind spots. The driver must al- ways observe an adequate braking distance between the fork lift truck and the vehicle in front and he must be in control of his truck at all times. Sudden stopping (except in emergencies), rapid U-turns and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots is not permit- ted. It is forbidden to lean out of or reach beyond the working and operating area.
Visibility: The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always have a clear view of the route ahead. When loads blocking the view are carried, the fork lift truck must be driven with the load at the rear. If this is not possible, a second person must walk in front of the fork lift truck to give suitable warnings.
Negotiating slopes and inclines: Negotiating of slopes and inclines is permitted only when they are recognised lanes, when they are clean and non-slipping, and when the technical specification of the truck permits safe driving on such slopes or inclines. Loads must always be carried at that end of the truck facing uphill. U-turns, cutting obliquely over slopes or inclines and parking of the fork lift truck on slopes or inclines is not permitted. Inclines must only be negotiated at slow speed, with the driv- er ready to brake at any moment.
Use of lifts and driving on loading platforms: Lifts and loading platforms must only be used if they are of adequate load bearing capacity, if suitable for driving on, and if authorised by the user of the truck for truck traffic. The fork lift truck driver has to sat- isfy himself accordingly before driving into lifts or on to loading platforms. 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. Persons riding in the lift together with the fork lift truck must only enter the lift after the fork lift truck has come safely to a standstill, and must leave the lift before the fork lift truck.
Nature of the loads carried: Only loads that have been safely and correctly secured must be carried. Never transport loads stacked higher than the top of the fork car- riage, or stacked higher than the guard grille.
Towing trailers: The maximum trailer load given for the fork lift truck for braked and/ or unbraked trailers must not be exceeded. The trailer load must be properly secured and must not exceed the dimensions permitted for the driving routes. After attaching the trailer but before starting driving, the driver must check that the trailer attachment is secured against detachment. Towing fork lift trucks must be operated in such a manner that safe driving and braking of the truck and the trailer is guaranteed for all driving movements.

F Maintenance of the fork lift truck
1 Operational safety and environmental protection
The checks and servicing operations contained in this chapter must be performed in accordance with the intervals as indicated in the servicing checklists.
f
Modifications of fork lift truck assemblies, especially of the safety installations, are not permitted. On no account must the operational speeds of the truck be changed.
m
Only original spare parts have been certified by our quality assurance service. To en- sure safe and reliable operation of the fork lift truck, only spare parts of the manufac- turer must be used. Used parts, oils and fuels must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable environmental protection regulations. For oil changes, the oil service of the manufacturer is available to you.
Upon completion of any checking and servicing activities, the operations contained in the section “Recommissioning” must be performed (refer to chapter F).
2 Safety regulations applicable to truck maintenance
Servicing and maintenance personnel: The fork lift truck must only be serviced and
maintained by trained personnel of the manufacturer. The service organization of the manufacturer has external technicians trained especially for these assignments. We thus recommend signing a maintenance contract with the relevant service location of the manufacturer.
Lifting and jacking up: When a fork lift truck is to be lifted, the lifting gear must only be secured to the points specially provided for this purpose. When the truck is to be jacked up, suitable measures must be taken to prevent the truck from slipping or tip- ping over (use of wedges, wooden blocks). Work underneath the raised load lifting device must only be carried out when the fork is immobilised and supported by a chain of adequate strength.
Cleaning operations: No inflammable liquids must be used when cleaning the fork lift truck. Prior to commencing cleaning operations, all safety measures that are re- quired to prevent sparking (e.g. by short-circuits) have to be taken. For battery-oper- ated fork lift trucks, the battery plug must be removed. Only weak indraft, weak com- pressed air and non-conducting, antistatic brushes must be used for the cleaning of electric or electronic assemblies.
m
If the fork lift truck is to be cleaned using a water jet or a high-pressure cleaner, all electric and electronic components must be carefully covered beforehand because moisture can lead to incorrect functioning. Cleaning by means of a steam jet is not permitted.
Upon completion of cleaning work, the operations detailed in the section “Recommis- sioning” must be performed.
Page 39
0903.GB
F 2
Work on the electric system: Work on the electric system of the truck must only be performed by personnel specially trained for such operations. Before commencing any work on the electric system, all measures required to prevent electric shocks have to be taken. For battery-operated fork lift trucks, the truck must also be depow- ered by removing the battery plug.
Welding operations: To prevent any damage to electric or electronic components, these have to be removed from the fork lift truck before any welding operations are undertaken.
Settings: When repairing or replacing hydraulic, electric or electronic components or assemblies, all truck-specific settings have to be retained.
Tyres: The quality of the tyres greatly affects the stability and the driving behaviour of the fork-lift truck. The factory-mounted tyres must only be replaced by original spare parts of the manufacturer, since otherwise the specification of the data sheet cannot be met. When replacing wheels or tyres, it must be ensured that the fork-lift truck remains level (tyres and wheels must always be replaced in pairs, i.e. left and right together).
Lift chains: The lift chains wear rapidly if not lubricated. The intervals in the service checklist apply to normal duty. If requirements are higher (dust, temperature), lubri- cation is required more often. The specified chain spray must be used as specified. The external application of grease does not provide sufficient lubrication.
Hydraulic hoses: The hoses must be renewed every six years. When replacing hy- draulic components, also renew the hoses in this hydraulic system.

0903.GB
3 Servicing and inspection
Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important preconditions for safe op- eration of the fork lift truck. The neglect of regular servicing intervals can lead to fork lift truck failure and constitutes a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.
m
The indicated servicing intervals are based on single-shift operation under normal op- erating conditions. For applications in dusty environments, or involving large temper- ature fluctuations or multiple-shift operation, the servicing intervals must be shortened accordingly.
The following servicing checklist indicates the operations to be performed and the re- spective intervals to be observed. The servicing intervals are defined as follows:
W1 = every 50 operating hours, but at least once per week M3 = every 500 operating hours, but at least every 3 months M6 = every 1000 operating hours, but at least every 6 months M12 = every 2000 operating hours, but at least every 12 months
A
The W1 maintenance intervals must be carried out by the operator / customer.
In the running-in phase of the truck, the following additional operations have to be car- ried out:
After the first 50 to 100 operating hours, at the latest after two months:
– Retighten battery terminal screws and check condition of cell connectors. – Perform visual checks of electrical and mechanical components. – Check brake fluid. – Check lifting chains for uniform tension. – Check transmissions for leaks. – Check screw connections and mechanical safety devices for tight seat. – Check wheel nuts for tight seat and retighten, if required. – Check hydraulic connections for leaks and retighten, if required.

6.6 Recommissioning the truck
Recommissioning of the truck following the performance of cleaning or maintenance work is permitted only after the following operations have been performed:
– Check the horn for proper functioning. – Check the master switch for correct functioning. – Check the brake for correct functioning. – Lubricate truck according to lubrication schedule.
7 Decommissioning the fork lift truck
If the fork lift truck is to be decommissioned for more than two months, it must be parked in a frost-free and dry location and all measures to be taken before, during and following decommissioning must be performed as detailed below.
m
During decommissioning, the fork lift truck must be jacked up, ensuring that the wheels are clear of the ground. Only this measure will ensure that wheels and wheel bearings do not suffer damage.
If the fork lift truck is to be decommissioned for more than 6 months, additional meas- ures must be discussed with the Service Department of the manufacturer.
7.1 Operations to be performed prior to decommissioning
– Thoroughly clean the fork lift truck. – Check the brakes for correct function. – Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if required (refer to chapter F). – Apply a thin film of oil or grease to all parts not protected by a paint coating. – Grease the fork lift truck as detailed in the lubrication chart (refer to chapter F). – Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D). – Disconnect and clean the battery. Apply pole grease to the battery poles.
A
In addition to this, all instructions given by the battery supplier must be observed.
– Spray all exposed electrical contacts with a suitable contact spray.
7.2 Measures to be taken during decommissioning
Every 2 months:
– Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D).
m
Battery-operated fork lift trucks: Regular recharging of the battery is very important; otherwise, exhaustive depletion of the battery caused by self-discharging would occur. Owing to sulfatisation, this will result in the destruction of the battery.
Page 49
0903.GB
F 12
7.3 Recommissioning the truck
– Thoroughly clean the fork lift truck. – Lubricate the fork lift truck according to the lubrication chart (refer to chapter F). – Clean the battery. Grease the pole screws using pole grease and reconnect the
battery. – Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D). – Check if the gear oil contains condensed water and change if required. – Check if the hydraulic oil contains condensed water and change if required. – Start up the fork lift truck (refer to chapter E).
A
Battery-operated fork lift trucks: If switching troubles are experienced in the electric system, spray the exposed con- tacts with contact spray and remove any oxide layer on the contacts of the operating controls by repeated operation.
f
Perform several brake tests immediately after recommissioning the truck.
8 Safety checks to be performed at regular intervals and following any untoward
incidents (D: Accident prevention check according to BGV D27)
At least once yearly, or after any untoward incident, the fork lift truck has to be chek- ked by a qualified inspector. The inspector must assess the condition of the truck from a standpoint purely concerned with safety aspects, uninfluenced by any company or economic circumstances. The inspector must be adequately informed and experi- enced to be able to assess the condition of the fork lift truck and the effectiveness of the safety installations based on the technical rules and principles governing the in- spection of fork lift trucks.
The inspection must comprise a comprehensive check of the technical condition of the fork lift truck with regard to accident prevention aspects. Apart from this, the fork lift truck must be thoroughly inspected for damage possibly caused by incorrect use of the fork lift truck. The inspection results must be recorded in an inspection report which must be kept available for a period spanning at least the next two inspection intervals.
The user has to ensure that all defects are eliminated without delay.
A
The manufacturer has set up a special safety service with specially qualified staff. As visual proof that the fork lift truck has passed the safety inspection, a plaque is affixed to it. This plaque indicates in which month of which year the next test will be due.
