Your industrial truck
Your industrial truck
General
The industrial trucks described in this user
manual are built to the applicable standards
and safety regulations. If your industrial truck
is to be driven on public roads it must satisfy
the applicable Road Traffic Act provisions for
the country concerned. The vehicle excise
licence must be obtained from the appropriate
office.
The industrial trucks are fitted with the most
up-to-date technology Now it’s up to you to
operate your industrial truck safely and obtain
the benefits of its functional capabilities.
This user manual gives you the necessary
information for this. Read it and follow these
instructions before bringing your industrial
trucks into use! This way you will avoid accidents, spare yourself worry and maintain the
warranty.
EC declaration of conformity, EC
mark of conformity
With the EC declaration of conformity, the
manufacturer confirms the compliance of the
industrial truck with the standards and regulations valid at the time of marketing. The
EC conformity mark is shown on the factory
nameplate and indicates compliance with the
above regulations.
A structural change or addition to the industrial
truck on one’s own authority can affect the
safety in an unreliable way thus invalidating
the EC declaration of conformity.
The EC declaration of conformity must be
carefully stored and made available to the
responsible authorities.

2 Introduction
Use of truck
Use of truck
Proper use
The forklift truck described in this operating
manual is suitable for lifting, transporting and
stacking loads.
The truck may only be used for its proper purpose, as set out and described in this operating manual.
If the truck is to be used for other purposes
than those specified in the operating manual,
the approval of the manufacturer and, if necessary, the responsible regulator authorities,
must be obtained beforehand to prevent hazards.
The maximum load to be lifted is specified on
the capacity plate (load diagram) and may not
be exceeded.
Proper towing usage
This forklift truck is suitable for the occasional
towing of trailers and is equipped with a towing
device for this purpose. This occasional towing may not exceed 2% of the daily operating
time. If you want to use the forklift truck for
more frequent towing, the manufacturer must
be consulted.
The trailer operation provisions must be
followed. See ⇒ Chapter "Trailer operation", P. 130.
Impermissible use
Every hazard caused by impermissible use
is the responsibility of the operator or driver
and not of the manufacturer (also see in this
matter ⇒ Chapter "Definition of terms used for
responsible persons", P. 20).
Use for purposes other than those described
in these operating instructions is prohibited.
10 171673 [EN]
Introduction 2
Use of truck
WARNING
Risk of accident!
Passengers are not allowed.
The forklift truck may not be operated in areas
where is a risk of fire, explosion or corrosion,
or areas that are particularly dusty.
Stacking or unstacking is not permissible on
inclined surfaces or ramps.
Place of use
The truck can be used outside and, with the
correct equipment, in buildings.
Use on public roads is only permitted if special
equipment in accordance with StVZO (Road
Traffic Licensing Regulations) is installed.
The various regulations applicable in different
countries for driving the truck on public roads
must be observed.
The ground must have sufficient load-bearing
capacity (concrete, asphalt). It should have
a rough surface. The driveways, work areas
and aisle widths must correspond with the
specifications in these operating instructions
(see ⇒ Chapter "Driveways", P. 5-78).
Driving on ascending and descending slopes
is permitted if the indicated data and specifications are observed (see ⇒ Chapter "Driveways",P.5-78).
The forklift truck is suitable for use in countries ranging from the Topics to Nordic regions
(temperature range: -20°C to +40°C).
This forklift truck is not designedfor use in cold
stores.
The operator (see ⇒ Chapter "Definition of
terms used for responsible persons", P. 20)
must ensure suitable fire protection in the surroundings of the truck for all applications of
the truck. Depending on the application, additional fire protection must be provided on the
industrial truck. In cases of doubt, contact the
relevant authorities.
171673 [EN] 11
2 Introduction
Use of truck
Use of working platforms
WARNING
The use of working platforms is governed by national law. This law must be observed. This allowed
only if the law allows the use of working platforms in
your country.
Consult your national authorities (in Germany the
trade association) before any use.
12 171673 [EN]
Introduction 2
Residual risk
Residual risk
Residual dangers, residual risks
Despite careful working and compliance with
standards and regulations, the occurrence
of other risks when using the industrial truck
cannot be entirely excluded.
The industrial truck and all other system components comply with current safety requirements. Nevertheless, even when the truck is
used for its proper purpose and all instructions
are followed, some residual risk cannot be excluded.
Even beyond the narrow hazard areas of the
industrial truck itself, a residual risk cannot
be excluded. Persons in this area around the
industrial truck must exercise a heightened
degree of awareness, so that they can react
immediately in the event of any malfunction,
incident or breakdown etc.
WARNING
All persons that are in the vicinity of the industrial
truck must be instructed regarding these risks that
arise through use of the industrial truck.
In addition,we draw attentionto the safety regulations in these operating instructions.
Risks can include:
• Escape of consumables due to leaks, rupture of lines and containers etc.
• Accident risk when driving over difficult
ground such as gradients, smooth or irregular surfaces, or poor visibility etc.
• Falling, tripping etc. when moving on the
industrial truck, especially in the wet, with
leaking consumables or icy surfaces.
• The stability of the industrial truck has been
tested to the latest standards. These standards only take into account the static and
dynamic tipping forces that can arise during
specified use in accordance with the operating rules and intended purpose. Risks that
arise from improper use or incorrect operation and result in tipping forces that exceed
the stability cannot be excluded in extreme
cases.
171673 [EN] 13
2 Introduction
Residual risk
• Loss of stability due to the load being unstable or the load slipping etc.
• Fire and explosionrisks due to batteries and
electrical voltages.
• Human error - disregarding safety regulations.
Special risks when using the forklift
truck and attachments
The manufacturer’s approval must be obtained for any unconventional use during
which the driver cannot ensure proper and
safe execution.
In particularly difficult cases such as the simultaneous use of two forklift trucks for transporting heavy or bulky loads, the supervisor
must be present at the place of use and accept
responsibility and control of this transport.

2 Introduction
Residual risk
Risk for employees
According to the operating safety ordinance
(BetrSichVO) and German Law on Health
and Safety at Work (ArbSchG) the operator
(see ⇒ Chapter "Definition of terms used for
responsible persons", P. 20) must ascertain
and assess the hazards present at his plant.
He must specify the necessary measures
for health and safety for employees (BetrSichVO). The operator must thus draw up operating instructions applicable to his plant (§ 6
ArbSchG) and inform the driver accordingly. A
person responsible for health and safety must

one overview. Take note of information of
