–
Raise and chock the truck: the wheels must
not touch the ground in order to prevent ir-
reversible deformation of the tyres.
–
Cover the truck with a cotton cover to pro-
tect it from dust.
CAUTION
We recommend that you do not use a plastic sheet
as this encourages condensation to form.
Consult the After-Sales Service for further
measures to take if the truck must be stored
for a longer period of time.
Recommissioning after storage
If the truck has been stored for more than six
months, it must be checked carefully before
being recommissioned. This check is similar to
the workplace accident prevention inspection.
It is therefore necessary to check all points
and devices that are important for truck safety.
Carry out the following operations:
–
Clean the truck carefully.
–
Grease all hinges and joints.
–
Check the battery charge status and re-
charge the battery if necessary.
–
Check that there are no traces of condensa-
tion water in the hydraulic oil. Drain if nec-
essary.
–
Carry out the same maintenance work as
for the first time it was commissioned.
–
Commission the truck.
–
In particular, check the following during
start-up:
●
traction, control and steering
●
brakes (service brake and parking brake).
Operating instructions
The pallet truck is designed for use in safe en-
vironments: the ambient temperature must be
between -10°C and +45°C and the altitude
must not exceed 2000 metres.
NOTE
The floor surface must be dry, clean and level.
For braking and stability reasons, the maxi-
mum permissible gradient over short distan-
ces is limited to 10% unladen and 4% laden.
The pallet truck can only carry pallets up to a
maximum weight of 1200 kg evenly distributed
on the forks. For uses other than those speci-
fied above, contact an authorised dealer.
CAUTION
The pallets used must be in good condition.
WARNING
Risk of serious injury and/or major equipment dam-
age.
Always drive in accordance with the floor conditions
(uneven floor, etc.), especially in the case of hazard-
ous work areas and hazardous loads.
CAUTION
Equipment wear or damage
To avoid scraping the bottom of the lifting system on
the floor, keep the forks raised before starting.
CAUTION
Equipment wear or damage
The driver must turn off the ignition and remove the
key before leaving the pallet truck.
