3.2 Functional Description
Safety equipment
An enclosed, smooth truck geometry with rounded edges ensures safe handling of
the truck. The wheels are surrounded by a solid skirt offering collision protection.
Activating the emergency disconnect switch rapidly cuts out all electrical functions in
hazardous situations.
Emergency stop safety concept
The emergency stop is activated by the traction controller. Each time the truck is
switched on, the system carries out a self-diagnosis. The steering controller sends a
system status signal, which is monitored by the traction controller. If the signal fails
to appear or a fault is identified, the truck automatically brakes to a halt. Control
displays on the control and display unit (
o
) indicate the emergency stop.
Operator position
The driver's seat and floor plate can be adjusted to suit different sized operators. All
travel and lift operations can be performed sensitively without having to reach. The
ergonomic steering wheel provides secure control of the truck.
Deadman switch
The deadman switch ensures that the driver's feet do not extend outside the truck
during travel. The deadman switch in the foot compartment must be depressed to
enable the driver to operate the truck. Lifting and travel are inhibited if the operator
takes his foot off the deadman switch. Steering and braking remain enabled.
Hydraulic system
When lifting is activated, the pump unit starts to operate, supplying hydraulic oil from
the oil reservoir to the lift cylinder.
When the lift button is pressed, the support arms are raised at an even speed; when
the lower button is pressed, the support arms are lowered.
