Residual risks
Residual risks
Despite careful operation and compliance with
all applicable standards and regulations, the
possibility of other dangers when using the
truck cannot be entirely excluded.
The truck and additional equipment comply
with applicable safety regulations. However,
residual risks cannot be excluded even if the
truck is used correctly and instructions are
carefully followed.
Even beyond the danger areas of the truck it-
self, residual risks remain. Persons in the area
around the truck must exercise particular cau-
tion. They must react immediately in the event
of malfunction, incident, breakdown etc.
They must be informed of the risks associated
with the use of the forklift.
These operating instructions also contain ad-
ditional safety instructions.
Residual risks can include:
–
Escape of consumables due to leakages or
the rupture of lines, hoses or containers.
–
Risk of accident when driving over difficult
ground such as gradients, smooth or irregu-
lar surfaces, or with poor visibility etc.
–

movement of the truck, especially on wet or
icy surfaces or in the event of consumable
leaks.
