INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMPANY MANAGER
THE SITE
Proper management of telehadler's area of travel will reduce the risk of accidents:
• ground not unnecessarily uneven or obstructed,
• no excessive slopes,
• pedestrian traffic controlled, etc �
THE OPERATOR
-Only qualified, authorized personnel can use the telehadler � This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate
person in the establishment with respect to the use of telehadlers and must be carried permanently by the operator �
t
IMPORTANT
t
Experience has shown that there are a number of inappropriate ways in which the telehadler might be used. Such foreseeable misuse, of which the main examples are
listed below, is strictly forbidden.
-The foreseeable abnormal behaviour resulting from ordinary negligence, but not from any intentional misuse of the machinery.
- The reflex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. during operation of the telehadler.
- Behaviour resulting from application of the “principle of least effort” when performing a task.
- For certain machines, the foreseeable behaviour of such persons as: apprentices, teenagers, handicapped persons, trainees tempted to drive a telehadler, operators
tempted to operate the machine to win a bet, in competition or for their own personal experience.
The person in charge of the equipment must take these criteria into account when assessing whether or not a person will make a suitable driver.
THE TELEHANDLER

IMPORTANT
t
For operation under average climatic conditions, i.e.: between -15 °C and 35 °C, correct levels of lubricants in all the circuits are checked in production. For operation
under more severe climatic conditions, before starting up, it is necessary to drain all the circuits, then ensure correct levels of lubricants using lubricants properly suited
to the relevant ambient temperatures.
The same applies to the cooling liquid.
-Preventing fire risks associated with use in dusty and flammable conditions (e � g � straw, flour, sawdust, organic waste, etc � ) �
-A telehadler operating in an area without fire extinguishing equipment must be equipped with an individual extinguisher �
There are solutions, consult your dealer �
t
IMPORTANT
t
Your telehadler is designed for outdoor use under normal atmospheric conditions and indoor use in suitably aerated and ventilated premises.
It is prohibited to use the telehadler in areas where there is a risk of fire or which are potentially explosive (e.g. refineries, fuel or gas depots, stores of flammable
products. etc.).
For use in these areas, specific equipment is available (ask your dealer for information).
-Our trucks comply with Directive 2004/108/EC concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and with the corresponding
harmonized standard EN 12895 � Their proper operation is no longer guaranteed if they are used within areas in which
the electromagnetic fields exceed the limit specified by that standard (10 V/m) �
-Directive 2002/44/EC prohibits company managers from exposing their employees to excessive levels of vibration �
There is no recognized code of measurement for comparing the machines of different manufacturers � The actual doses
received can only therefore be measured under actual operating conditions at the user's premises �
