General Information
Standing on the platform when it is moving
As it is only allowed for the operator to stand on the platform, he must ensure that no other
person (especially children) are standing inside the danger zone.
Hazard information for unsecured loads

unloading. On this inclination, unsecure loads may start to slip and create a danger for the
operator.
You can purchase a warning sticker

than the spe
ified carrying capacity. This valve may only be adjusted by an expert using a
c
test weight and a manometer.
Fuses
Defective fuses may only be replaced by fuses which correspond to the values specified in
the wiring diagram and on the distributor plate.
