Be especially cautious when driving the truck on ramps or bridge plates. Be sure to maintain
a safe distance from each edge. Before driving the truck over a ramp or bridge plate, verify
that its position is secured to prevent movement. Never exceed the rated capacity of a ramp or
bridge plate.
Battery Safety
WARNING
Batteries contain dissolved sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and caustic. Batteries also can
produce explosive gases.
Remain aware of the following information.
Wear protective equipment (protective apron and gloves) and protective glasses when working
with battery acid. If clothing, skin or eyes come into contact with battery acid, immediately flush
the affected areas with water. If acid contacts the eyes, seek medical attention at once. Clean
spilled battery acid immediately with large amounts of water.
Remove any metal rings, bracelets, bands, or other jewelry before working with or near
batteries or electrical components.
Never expose batteries to open flame or sparks.
Areas in which batteries are stored or charged must be well ventilated to prevent
concentration of explosive gases.
If a battery is charged while installed in the truck, the battery cover must remain completely
open during the entire charging period.
Shorting of battery terminals can cause burns, electrical shock, or explosion. Do not
allow metal parts to contact the top surface of the battery. Make sure all terminal caps are in
place and in good condition.
Batteries may only be charged, serviced, or changed by properly trained personnel.
Always follow all instructions provided by the manufacturers of the battery, charger, and forklift
truck.
EMC-Electromagnetic compatibility
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a key quality feature of the truck.
EMC involves
limiting the emission of electromagnetic interference to a level that ensures the troublefree
operation of other equipment in the environment.
Ensuring sufficient resistance to external electromagnetic interference so as to
guarantee prop-
er operation at the planned usage location under the electromagnetic interference conditions to
be expected there An EMC test thus firstly measures the electro-magnetic interference emitted
by the truck and secondly checks it for sufficient resistance to electromagnetic interference with
reference to the planned usage location . A number of electrical measures are taken to ensure
the electromagnetic compatibility of the truck .
CAUTION
The EMC regulations for the truck must be observed.
When replacing truck components the protective EMC components must be installed and
connected again.
