Residual risks
Danger to employees
The operating company must identify and
evaluate the dangers involved in using the
truck. It must also establish which occupational health and safetymeasures are required
to protect employees. Appropriate operating
instructions must be drafted and provided for
the driver accordingly. A person responsible
for health and safety must be appointed.
Construction andequipment ofthe truck correspond to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
and they are therefore identified with the CE
symbol. As a result, these factors are not
included in the hazard assessment; nor are
the attachments, which have their own CE
labelling. The operating company must, however, select the type and equipment of the
truck so as to comply with the local provisions
for deployment.
The results must be published. In the case
of truck deployment involving similar hazard
situations it is permitted to summarise the
results. This overview (see chapter entitled
"Overview of hazards and countermeasures")
is intended to facilitate compliance with the
conditions of these regulations. The overview
indicates the main causes of accidents in
the event of non-compliance. If other major
operational hazards are involved, they must
also be taken into consideration.
The working conditions for the trucks are
largely similar for many sites. The dangers
can therefore be summarised in a single
overview. It is recommended that the information provided by the relevant employers'
liability insurance association be observed in
this respect.

Insurance cover on company
premises
The company premises are very often restricted public traffic areas.
NOTE
It is advisable to review the operationalliability
insurance so that insurance covers the truck
with respect to third parties in the event of
damage caused in restricted public traffic
areas.
Modifications and refitting
If your truck is to be used in specific conditions
(e.g. refrigerated warehouse or flameproof
protection), it must be specially equipped and
approved for this purpose, if applicable.
If your truck is used for work that is not specified in the guidelines or in these instructions,
and it must be modified or refitted for this purpose, it is important to remember that any
structural modification could affect truck handling while driving as well as the stability of the
truck, and could lead to accidents. You should
therefore contactthe manufacturer before carrying out any modification. Permission from
the manufacturer is required for any modification that may affect the truck's stability.
Any constructional modification or transformation of your truck is forbidden without prior
written permission from the manufacturer.
Authorisation from the relevant authority may
also be required.
SPECIAL CASE: if the manufacturer of the
truck is no longer in business and its activity is
unlikely to be taken over by a successor
In this specific case, you may plan a modification or alteration to your truck provided that:
• The modification or alteration is designed,
tested and implemented by one or more
engineers who are experts in the field of
industrial trucks and their safety
• A record is kept of the design, the different
tests and the implementation of the modification or alteration
• Appropriate changes are approved and
made to the capacity plate, decals, labels
and operating instructions
• a permanent and clearly visible label is
attached to the truck indicating the nature of
the modification or alteration as well as the
date of the modification or alteration, and
the name and address of the company that
carried out the work.
Warning regarding non-original parts
Original parts, attachments and accessories
are specially designed for this truck. We
draw your attention to the fact that parts,

CAUTION
The installationor use of such products may have a
negative impacton the design of the truck and thus
impair active or passive driving safety.
We recommend that you obtain approval from the
manufacturer and, if applicable, from the relevant
regulatory authoritiesbefore installing such parts.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage caused by the use of non-original parts and
non-original accessories.
Damage, faults
Any damage or faults observed on the truck or
the accessories must be reported immediately
to the responsible personnel. The truck and
accessories must never be used before they
are correctly reconditioned as they cannot be
guaranteed to be safe for operating or driving.
