INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATOR
PREAMBLE
IMPORTANT
The risk of accident while using, servicing or repairing your lift truck can be restricted if you follow the safety instructions and safety measures detailed in these
instructions.
Failure to respect the safety and operating instructions, or instructions for repairing or servicing your lift truck, may lead to serious, even fatal accident.
In order to reduce or avoid any danger with a MANITOU-approved attachment, follow the instructions of paragraph: 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS IN OPTION ON THE
RANGE: INTRODUCTION.
- Only the operations and maneuvers described in this operator's manual must be performed. The manufacturer cannot
predict all possible risky situations. Consequently, the safety instructions given in the operator's manual and on the lift
truck itself are not exhaustive.
- At any time, as an operator, you must envisage, within reason, the possible risk to yourself, to others or to the lift truck
itself when you use it.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A - OPERATOR'S MANUAL
- Read the operator's manual carefully.
- The operator's manual must always be in good condition and in the place provided for it on the lift truck.
- You must report any plates and stickers which are no longer legible or which are damaged.
B - AUTHORISATION FOR USE IN FRANCE
(or see current legislation in other countries)
- Only qualified, authorized personnel can use the lift truck. This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate person
in the establishment with respect to the use of lift trucks and must be carried permanently by the operator.
- The operator is not competent to authorize the driving of the lift truck by another person.
C - MAINTENANCE
- The operator must immediately advise his superior if his lift truck is not in good working order or does not comply with
the safety notice.
- The operator is prohibited from carrying out any repairs or adjustments himself, unless he has been trained for this
purpose. He must keep the lift truck properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.
- The operator must carry out daily maintenance (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: A - DAILY OR EVERY 10 HOURS SERVICE).
- The operator must ensure tires are adapted to the nature of the ground (see area of the contact surface of the tires in
the chapter: 2 - DESCRIPTION: TYRES). There are optional solutions, consult your dealer.
• SAND tires.
• LAND tires.
• Snow chains.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the lift truck if the tires are incorrectly inflated, damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own safety or that of others at risk, or cause damage
to the lift truck itself.
The fitting of foam inflated tires is prohibited and is not guaranteed by the manufacturer, excepting prior authorization.
D - MODIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK
- For your own safety and that of others, you must not change the structure and settings of the various components used
in your lift truck by yourself (hydraulic pressure, limiter calibration, engine speed, addition of extra equipment, addition
of counterweights, unapproved attachments, alarm systems, etc.). In this event, the manufacturer cannot be held liable.
E - LIFTING PEOPLE
- The use of working equipment and load lifting attachments to lift people is:
• Either forbidden
• Or authorized exceptionally and under certain conditions (see current regulations in the country in which the lift
truck is used).
