The “Guidelines for the Correct Use and Application of Industrial Trucks” (VDMA) are
supplied with the truck. The guidelines form part of these operating instructions and
must be observed. National regulations apply in full.
The truck described in the present operating instructions is an industrial truck
designed for lifting and transporting loads.
It must be applied, operated and serviced in accordance with the instructions
contained in the present manual. Any other type of use is beyond the scope of
application and can result in damage to personnel, the truck or property. In particular,
avoid overloading the truck with loads which are too heavy or placed on one side. The
data plate attached to the truck or the load diagram are binding for the maximum load
capacity. The industrial truck must not be used in fire or explosion endangered areas,
or areas threatened by corrosion or excessive dust.
Proprietor responsibilities: For the purposes of the present operator manual the
“proprietor” is defined as any natural or legal person who either uses the industrial
truck himself, or on whose behalf it is used. In special cases (e.g. leasing or renting)
the proprietor is considered the person who, in accordance with existing contractual
agreements between the owner and user of the industrial truck, is charged with
operational duties.
The proprietor must ensure that the industrial truck is used only for the purpose it is
intended for and that danger to life and limb of the user and third parties are excluded.
Furthermore, accident prevention regulations, safety regulations and operating,
servicing and repair guidelines must be followed. The proprietor must ensure that all
truck users have read and understood this operator manual.
M
Failure to comply with the operator manual shall invalidate the warranty. The same
applies if improper work is carried out on the truck by the customer or third parties
without the permission of the manufacturer’s customer service department.
Attaching accessories: The mounting or installation of additional equipment which
affects or enhances the performance of the industrial truck requires the written
permission of the manufacturer. In some cases, local authority approval shall be
required.
Approval of the local authorities however does not constitute the manufacturer’s
approval.
Trailing and towed loads: The truck may only be used for trailing or towed loads for
which the truck has been approved.
