2.9 Handling and behavior during operation
(1)
Secure the vehicle against unexpected movement when performing any kind of
loading or unloading operation (use handbrake or chocks).
(2)
Do not place loads on the liftgate that exceed the rated capacity (comply with
loading distance and load, see load diagram).
(3)
Never drive a forklift onto the liftgate platform!
(Exception: the weight of the forklift plus the weight of the load being transported is less
than the liftgate’s maximum carrying capacity). The platform must be completely lowered
(including platform tip).
(4)
Do not unnecessarily stand within the liftgate’s range of movement.
(5)
Do not stand under the lifting device and load.
(6)
Do not stand on the lifting device (except for operator).
(7)
No one other than the operator may ride on the lifting device.
(8)
Step onto or off the liftgate only at designated access points.
(9)
Control the liftgate only from the designated control positions (see figure on page 27).
(10) During all functions that are operated via a control, the liftgate must be constantly
monitored
WARNING
Because the device cannot be seen from the control panel, there is a risk that the
operator or a third party could be shut inside. Make sure that no one is in the cargo
area when the liftgate is closed.
