-Directive 2002/44/EC requires company managers to not expose their employees to excessive vibration doses. There is
no recognised code of measurement for comparing the machines of different manufacturers. The actual doses received
cannot therefore be measured under actual operating conditions at the user's premises.
-The following are some tips for minimizing these vibration doses:
• Select the most suitable lift truck and attachment for the intended use.
• Adapt the seat adjustment to the operator's weight
(according to lift truck model)
and maintain it in good condition, as well
as the cab suspensions. Inflate the tyres in accordance with recommendations.
• The seat is an essential way of reducing the vibrations transmitted to the operator. In the event of seat replacement,
please contact MANITOU.
• Ensure that the operators adapt their operating speed to suit the conditions on site.
• As far as possible, arrange the site in such a way as to provide a flat running surface and remove obstacles and harmful
potholes.
C - MODIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK
-For your safety and that of others, you must not change the structure and settings of the various components used in your
lift truck (hydraulic pressure, calibrating limiters, engine speed, addition of extra equipment, addition of counterweight,
unapproved attachments, alarm systems, etc.) yourself. In this event, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
D - FRENCH ROAD TRAFFIC RULES
(or see current legislation in other countries)
