01INTRODUCTION
Instruction Handbook
This Instruction Handbook contains information that you, as
user of the truck, must be aware of in order to avoid/minimise
the risk of injury/damage to yourself or the truck. You are also
responsible to the company management, other people and
objects in your environment. You should therefore carefully read
all the way through this handbook before starting the truck for
the first time.
The Instruction manual describes a truck with standard
equipment, customer modifications may have been fitted.
It is not obvious that the options that are described in the
Instruction Handbook are suitable for all truck models. Contact
your truck supplier for information.
Our products are constantly being developed and renewed, we
therefore reserve the right to make alterations without prior
notice.
We have been manufacturing trucks since 1958. Quality,
operational safety and innovation have made us a leading
worldwide truck supplier.
Thank you for choosing us as your truck supplier.

contact our service department.
We offer support and advice for any problems that may arise
and assistance with servicing and ordering of replacement
parts. Refer to the nearest authorised sales agent or service
workshop for assistance.
Genuine Parts
The reliability that we promise is contingent upon using our
original spare parts. Only our genuine replacement parts
guarantee correct operation, long life and the right to a
warranty.
Our truck driving courses
The importance of goods handling to companies and society in
general increases every year. At the same time, trucks are
being equipped with ever more advanced technical solutions. It
is therefore important that the operator, who has a key role to
play in goods handling, is given the correct conditions to
operate as safely and efficiently as possible. Statistics show
that the number of incidents decreases significantly when a
truck operator has been properly trained. To receive information
on current training offers, please contact your local authorised
representative, preferably, or, if necessary, another authorised
dealer.

TRUCK MODIFICATION02
Truck modification
NOTE!
Unauthorized truck modification is not permitted.
No modifications or changes to powered industrial trucks that
can affect areas such as capacity, stability or safety
requirements for the truck may be made without advance
written authorisation from the manufacturer, its authorised
representatives or a successor to these. Contact your local
authorised dealer before any modification or change is made to
your industrial truck that may affect, for example, braking,
steering, visibility and connection of separate load aggregates.
Once permission has been granted by the manufacturer,
authorised representative thereof or successor to these, the
plate indicating the truck's capacity, decals, labels and
operating and instruction handbooks must also be changed
accordingly.
Only in the event that the manufacturer is no longer in business
and there is no successor to the company's stakeholders may
the user implement a modification or alteration to a powered
industrial truck. This applies on the condition that the user:
•arranges for the modification or alteration to be designed,
tested and implemented by one or more engineers who
are experts in industrial trucks and their safety
•maintains a permanent record of the design, test(s) and
implementation of the modification or alteration
•approves and makes appropriate changes to the capacity
plate(s), decals, tags and Instruction Handbook
•affixes a permanent and readily visible label to the truck
stating the manner in which the truck has been modified or
altered, together with the date of the modification or
alteration, and the name and address of the organization
which performed the task.

03ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
We respect the environment
The majority of our products consist of steel, and can be
completely recycled.
Environmental impact
All products have an impact on the environment throughout
their entire life cycle.
The consumption of energy when in use is one of the most
important factors that influences the environment.
Through correct care, maintenance and use the consumption of
energy can be reduced, thereby reducing the environmental
impact.
Waste
Waste material in conjunction with repairs, maintenance,
cleaning, or scrapping, must be collected and disposed of in an
environment-friendly way and in accordance with the directives
of respective countries.
Such work should only be carried out in areas intended for this
purpose.
Recyclable material should be taken care of by specialised
authorities.
Environmentally hazardous waste, such as oil filters, hydraulic
oil, batteries and electronic equipment, can, if handled
incorrectly, have a negative effect on the environment and
human health.
