Still ECV 10, Original Instructions Manual

Basic principles for safe operation
Insurance cover on company
premises
The company premises are very often restric-
ted public traffic areas.
NOTE
It is advisable to review the operational liability
insurance so that insurance covers the truck
with respect to third parties in the event of
damage caused in restricted public traffic
areas.
Modifications and refitting
If your truck is to be used in specific conditions
(e.g. refrigerated warehouse or flameproof
protection), it must be specially equipped and
approved for this purpose, if applicable.
If your truck is used for work that is not speci-
fied in the guidelines or in these instructions,
and it must be modified or refitted for this pur-
pose, it is important to remember that any
structural modification could affect truck han-
dling while driving as well as the stability of the
truck, and could lead to accidents. You should
therefore contact the manufacturer before car-
rying out any modification. Permission from
the manufacturer is required for any modifica-
tion that may affect the truck's stability.
Any constructional modification or transforma-
tion of your truck is forbidden without prior
written permission from the manufacturer. Au-
thorisation from the relevant authority may al-
so be required.
SPECIAL CASE: if the manufacturer of the
truck is no longer in business and its activity
is unlikely to be taken over by a successor
In this specific case, you may plan a modifica-
tion or alteration to your truck provided that:
●
The modification or alteration is designed,
tested and implemented by one or more en-
gineers who are experts in the field of in-
dustrial trucks and their safety
●
A record is kept of the design, the different
tests and the implementation of the modifi-
cation or alteration
●
Appropriate changes are approved and
made to the capacity plate, decals, labels
and operating instructions
●
a permanent and clearly visible label is at-
tached to the truck indicating the nature of
the modification or alteration as well as the
date of the modification or alteration, and
the name and address of the company that
carried out the work.
Warning regarding non-original parts
Original parts, attachments and accessories
are specially designed for this truck. We draw
your attention to the fact that parts, attach-
ment parts and accessories supplied by other
companies have not been tested or approved
by STILL.
