Introduction2
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
2Introduction
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.

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
be appointed.
Construction and equipment of the industrial
truck correspond to the Machinery Directive
98/37/EEC and they are therefore identified
with the CE symbol. They are therefore not
included in the hazard assessment, and the
attachments likewise on account of their own
CE marking . The operator must however
select the type and equipment of the industrial
trucks so as to comply with the local provisions
for usage.
The result must be documented (Section 6
ArbSchG). Inthe case of industrial truckusage
involving similar hazard situations it is permitted to summarise the results . The overview
provided (see ⇒ Chapter"Overview of hazards
and countermeasures", P. 2-16)means we are
helping you to comply with these regulations.
The overview specifies key hazards which
are most frequently the cause of accidents in
the event of non-compliance. If other major
hazards are involved at a specific plant , these
must be taken into consideration additionally.
In many plants the conditions of use for
industrial trucks are by and large similar
so that the hazards can be summarised in
one overview. Take note of information of
the respective employers’ liability insurance
association as regards this topic.

the industrial truck is used only for its proper
purposes and in compliance with the safety instructions inthese operating and maintenance
instructions.
The operating company must ensure that all
users read and understand the safety information.
The operating company is responsible for the
scheduling andcorrect performance of regular
safety checks.
We recommend that the national performance
specifications are adhered to.
Specialist
A specialist is considered to be someone
whose technical training and experience
have enabled them to develop an appropriate knowledge of industrial trucks and who
is sufficiently familiar with the applicable national health and safety regulations, accident
prevention regulations, directives and generally recognised technical conventions (standards, VDE regulations, technical regulations
of other member states of the European Union
or other countries that are signatories to the
treaty establishing the European Economic
Area) as to be able to assess the condition of
industrial trucks in terms of health and safety.
Drivers
This industrial truck may only be driven by
suitable persons who are at least 18 years
old, who have been trained in driving, have
demonstrated their skills in driving and handling loads to the operator or an authorised

representative and have been specifically instructed to drive the truck. Specific knowledge
of the industrial truck to be operated is also
required.
The training requirements under §3 of the
Health and Safety at Work Act and §9 of the
plant safety regulations are satisfied if the
driver has been trained in accordance with the
BGG (General Employers’ Liability Insurance
Association Act) 925. Follow the national regulations for your country.
Rights, duties and rules of behaviour for
the driver,
The driver must be trained in his rights and
duties.
The driver must be granted the required rights.

Essentials for safe operation
Insurance coverage on company
premises
In many cases, company premises are restricted public traffic areas.
NOTE
We advise checking your public liability insurance to determine whether you have insurance coverage for your industrial truck with
respect to third parties in the event of damage
in restricted public traffic areas.
Changes and retrofitting
If your forklift truck is used for work not listed
in the guidelines or in these instructions and
must be consequently converted or retrofitted,
be aware that each change to the structural
state can affect the handling and the stability
of the forklift truck and can result in accidents.
Therefore, contact your service centre in advance. Changes that will disadvantageously
affect stability among other things may not be
made without our approval.
The forklift truck can only be converted with
our written approval. Approval from the responsible authority must be obtained if necessary.
We warn against the installation and use of
restraint systems not approved by us.
DANGER
Even when using a restraint system
there is some residual risk that the
driver might be injured if the truck
tips over. This risk of injury can
be reduced through the combined
use of a restraint system and the
seat belt. In addition, the belt
protects against the consequences
of rear-end collisions and falling off a
ramp.
Accordingly, we recommend use of
the seat belt as well.
171673 [EN]23
3Safety
Essentials for safe operation
For safety reasons, it is prohibited to drill holes
in the driver’s overhead guard or to perform
welding on it. In the case of welding to other
locations of the forklift truck, the battery and
all connections to the electronic control cards
must be disconnected. Please contact your
service centre.
DANGER
Failure to comply with the above voids the CE conformity!
Operation of the forklift truck without the overhead
guard at a lift heightof over 1800 mm is prohibited.
Warning regarding non-originalparts
Original parts, attachments and accessories
are specially designed for this vehicle. We
specifically draw your attention to the fact that
parts, attachments and accessories supplied
by other companies have not been tested and
approved by us.
CAUTION
Installation and/or use of such products may therefore have a negative impact on the design features
of your industrial truck and thus impair active and/or
passive driving safety.
We recommend that you obtain approval from us
and, if necessary, from the responsible regulatory
authorities,before installing suchparts. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage caused
by the use of non-original parts and accessories
without our approval.
Damage, defects and misuse of
safety devices
The driver must report any damage or other
defects to the truck or attachment immediately
to the supervisory personnel.

Safety regulations when handling consumables
NOTE
Please also take into account the section
""General requirements for pressurised-gas
vessels; Using pressurised-gas vessels"" in
the technical regulations applicable to pressurised-gas vessels TRG 380 and 404, as well
as national regulations where applicable.
Electric hand lamps used in these rooms must
be provided with an enclosed sealed cover
and a strong basket guard.
Storage rooms and maintenance workshops
must be well ventilated. Here it should be
borne in mind that LPG is heavier than air. It
collects at floor level, in work pits and other depressions in the ground where it may produce
hazardous explosive mixtures of gas and air.

Emissions
Noise emissions
The values were determined based on
measurement procedures from the standard
EN 12053 (noise measurement for industrial
trucks based on EN 12001 and EN ISO 3744
and the requirements of EN ISO 4871). This
machine emits the following sound-pressure
levels:

Uncertainty K
The values were determined in the test cycle
on an identical machine from the weighted
values for operating conditions and idling.
Time percentages:
• Lifting 18%
• Idling 58%
• Driving 24%
However, the indicated noise levels at the
truck cannot be used to determine the noise
emissions at workplaces according to the
most recent version of Directive 2003/10/EC
(daily personal noise pollution). If necessary,
these should be determined directly at the
workplace under the actual conditions there
(additional noise sources, special operating
conditions, sound reflections) by the operating
company; (see ⇒ Chapter "Definition of terms
used for responsible persons", P. 20).

The vibrations of the machine must be determined on an identical machine in accordance
with the standard EN 13059 "Vibration measurements on industrial trucks".

. There are therefore no measurement guidelines for these measurements.
The personal vibration load on the driver over
a working day shall be determined in accordance with the Directive 2002/44/EC by the
operating company (see ⇒ Chapter "Definition
of terms used for responsible persons", P. 20)
at the actual place of use, in order to consider
all additional influences, such as driving route,
intensity of use etc.
Exhaust gases
The engine releases exhaust gases into the
environment during operation. The exhaust
gases mainly consist of water vapour, carbon
dioxide (CO
), carbon monoxide (CO), hydro-
2
carbons (CH), aldehydes and nitrogen oxide
(NO
). The components CO, CH and NO
X
X
are toxic or harmful to health and must not be
inhaled in high concentrations.
For this reason, the engine cannot be operated
in closed areas without sufficient ventilation.
Heat
WARNING
The exhaust gases are very hot and
canignitecombustiblematerial.
– Accordingly, keep the exhaust
pipe away from combustible
materials.
Battery
WARNING
During charging, the battery releases a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen (detonating gas). This gas
mixture is explosive and must not be
ignited.
Suitable ventilation and keeping it
away from open flames can avoid
the danger of explosion.

Safety regulations when driving
Driving conduct
The driver must observepublic road traffic regulations when driving on company grounds.
Driving speed must be appropriate to the local
conditions.
For example, the driver must drive slowly
around corners, in tight passage ways, when
driving through swing-doors, at blind spots or
on uneven surfaces.
The driver must always maintain a safe braking distancefrom vehicles and persons in front
and always have the vehicle under control.
Sudden stopping, quick turning and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots must be
avoided.
– Initial driving practice must be performed in
an empty space or on a clear driving lane.
The following are forbidden during driving:
• Allowing arms and legs to hang out
• Leaning over the outer edge of the forklift
truck
• Crossing from one vehicle to another or to
fixed components
• Moving the driver seat
• Adjusting the steering column
• Releasing the restraining belt
• Disabling the restraint system
• Driving with the load raised impermissibly
high
• Using mobile phones or radios.
WARNING
Risk of accident!
Use of mobile phones or radios in the vehicle is
permitted.
However, these devices must not be used while
driving or manipulating loads, since this affects
your concentration.
The volume of radios or hands-free systems must
be adapted to local conditions and must not affect
your concentration.
76171673 [EN]
Operation5
Driving
WARNING
In areas where use of mobile phones is prohibited,
use of a mobile phones or radio telephones is generally not permitted.
– Turn off the devices.
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the direction of travel
and have a sufficient view of the driving lane.
Particularly when driving backwards, the
driver must be sure that the driving lane is
clear.
When transporting goods that impair visibility,
the driver must drive the vehicle backwards.
If this is not possible, a second person acting
as a guide must walk ahead of the vehicle.
Only drive at walking pace and always take
extracareinsuchsituations.Theforklifttruck
must be stopped immediately if eye contact
with the guide is lost.
Driving with the load raised unnecessarily high
is not permitted.
Rear-view mirrors are only to be used for observing the road area behind the vehicle and
not for driving backwards. If visual aids (mirror,
monitor) are necessary to achieve sufficient
visibility, their use most be carefully practised.
When driving backwards using visual aids,
extra care should be used.
When using attachments, special conditions
apply, see ⇒ Chapter "Assembling attachments",P.5-116.
In models with cabins, the windows must always be clean and free of ice.

Driveways
Dimensions of the driveways and aisle
widths
The following dimensions and aisle width
requirements apply under the specified conditions to ensure safe manoeuvring. In each
case, it should be checked whether a larger
aisle width is necessary, e.g. with deviating
load dimensions. Within the EU, there must
be compliance with the 89/654/EEC directive
(minimum safety and health requirements
for the workplace). The respective national
guidelines apply for areas outside of the EU.
The required aisle widths (Ast) depend on the
dimensions of the load. For pallets, these are:

to avoid the load from falling on the floor or the
forklift truck being damaged.
Condition of the driveways
Driveways must be made sufficiently firm,
level and free of dirt and fallen objects. Compensation must be made for drainage channels, railway crossings and similar items; and
if necessary, ramps must be provided, so that
trucks can drive over them with as few bumps
as possible.
Ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity of
manhole/drain covers and the like.
There must be sufficient clearance between
the highest points of the forklift truck or the
load and the fixed points of the surroundings.
The height is based on the overall height of
the truck’s lift mast and the dimensions of the
load. Observe the technical data (see ⇒ Chapter "Technical data", P. 247).
Rules for driveways and the working area
Only those routes authorised for traffic by the
operator (see ⇒ Chapter "Definition of terms
used for responsible persons", P. 20) or his
representative may be driven. The traffic
routes must be free of obstacles. The load
may only be set down and stored in the designated locations. The operator and his representative must ensure that unauthorised third
parties keep away from the working area.
Dangerous locations
Dangerous locations on the driveways must
be designated by the signs typical for traffic or,
if necessary, by additional warning signs.
