1.7.4 Safety norms and driving suggestions
In order to use the lift truck safely it is necessary to follow some precautionary norms:
- Only the authorised personnel is allowed to use the truck
- In the work area of the truck there shall be nobody for 8 m. at least, so as to avoid
accidents due to the accidental fall of the load.
- While using it, always keep a correct manoeuvre position.
The load shall have the following dimensions in order to work safely: (See Fig. 1.4):
-
As for width, its dimensions shall not project from the load holder grating and have
the barycenter (G) on the longitudinal axis.
- As for length, it shall not exceed a length of 1200 mm and have the barycenter (G)
positioned at a distance lower or equal to the C distance (reported in the technical
specifications) from the load holder grating.
As for height two cases may occur:
1-
If the load is not packed, it shall not absolutely project from the load holder grating
2- If the load should project from the load holder grating, the load transport can be
carried out only when it is appropriately packed as one single body with all its parts
(for example, a pallet consisting of a lot of boxes firmly piled up and cellophaned);
In order to reduce the fall risk it will be necessary to keep the load barycenter
lower than the load holder grating.
If you follow these regulations, you will obtain a correct load positioning and a
weight equally distributed on the forks surface, consequently the load balance will
be very stable, thus reducing to a minimum the accident risk due to the accidental
fall of the load.
- All movements inside the firm shall be carried out only along the yellow stripes
on the floor.
- During the movements from one area to the other always keep the forks at a
maximum height of 20 cm from the ground.
- Never overload the truck.
- Center the load on the two forks, so that its barycenter falls on the longitudinal
axis of the truck and the weight is equally distributed on the forks (always refer
to the diagrams of the technical specifications and the label on the mast).
- If the load should hinder the visibility during the movements, carry out a
reverse and go on by keeping the truck behind you.
- Be careful with the piling-up of the material; when starting, avoid abrupt
manoeuvres, stops and steering; Carry out the loading, unloading and
movement operations by keeping the truck motion as straightaway as possible.
- Moderate the speed in the dangerous zones or near obstacles.
- Be careful with slopes, in particular never pass through slopes superior to 5%.
Never pass transversally through slopes. Keep rigorously the forks at a
maximum height of 20 cm from the ground.
- Use the audible alarms if necessary.
- In case of any danger, turn immediately the emergency key anticlockwise.
- Never get near the battery during the recharge with free flames. Read carefully
the use and maintenance handbook of the battery in order to obtain a perfect
efficiency.
- Be careful with fires and explosions, especially in environments where gas
fumes or fuels are present. The truck is not explosion-proof.
- Never leave the truck with hanging loads or with the forks lifted.
If it is unattended, take the key out of the control panel. Park the truck only in
appropriate areas or far from other work areas or working machines (minimum
distance: 5m.).
