DANGER
Improper use of the forklift could cause it and/or at
the load to overturn.
Working conditions
The forklift has been designed and built for
internal transport.
Do not use beyond the limits of the climatic
conditions indicated below:
• Maximum ambient temperature: +40°C
• Minimum ambient temperature: +5°C
• Altitude up to 2000 m
• Relative humidity between 30% and 95%
(without condensation).
CAUTION
Do not use the forklift in dusty areas.
Using the forklift in environments with high concen-
trations of salty air or water could interfere with its
proper operation and cause corrosion of metallic
parts.
If the forklift must be used in conditions that
exceed the limits indicated or, in any case,
under extreme conditions (extreme weather,
cold-storage rooms, presence of strong mag-
netic fields etc), appropriate equipment and/or
use precautions are necessary. Contact the
authorised sales network for more informa-
tion.
DANGER
The forklift may not be used in environments in
which there is a risk of explosion. It may not be
used to handle explosive loads.
For forklifts that must operate in environments
in which there is a risk of explosion or must
handle explosive loads, appropriate equip-
ment is necessary and must be accompanied
by a specific EC Declaration of Compliance
which replaces that of the standard forklift,
and by the relevant User and maintenance
manual.
Contact the authorised sales network for more
information.
Modifications to Forklift
No modifications may be made to the forklift,
otherwise the EC certificate and the warranty
will become invalid, with the exception of:
• assembly of the options provided by the
manufacturer
• assembly of applied equipment
for which it is necessary to refer exclusively to
the authorised sales network
DANGER
If the forklift is equipped at the factory or later with
devices that emit non-ionising radiation (such as
radio transmitters, RFID players, data terminals,
scanners, etc), the compatibility of such devices
must be verified with the presence of operators
using medical devices (such as heart pacemakers).
