Transporting the truck
CAUTION
Always switch off the ignition and disconnect the bat-
tery.
Never tie down or sling the truck by the tiller or other
points not designed for this.
CAUTION
Use a hoist and woven NON METALLIC slings with
an adequate lifting capacity. Refer to the load weight
shown on the truck's capacity plate.
The lifting operations must be performed by qualified
personnel.
Trucks are generally transported by road or by
rail.
The truck must be suitably protected from the
effects of the weather during transport and
storage.
To load or unload the truck, use an inclined
plane or a mobile ramp. If the truck is out of
commission or if the battery has been re-
moved, move the truck in the following way:
–
Attach a woven sling to each location, as in-
dicated by a hook symbol.
DANGER
Risk to life
Do not stand within the hoist's operating radius or
below the lifted truck.
Transporting the truck in the lift
The truck must only be taken in lifts with an
adequate loading capacity that are designed
for this purpose, and for which authorisation
has been received from the operator. Inside
the lift, the truck must be immobilised so that
no part is in contact with the wall of the lift
cage.
A minimum safety distance of 100 mm from
the walls of the lift must always be observed.
Anyone transported with the truck must only
enter the lift after the truck has been correctly
immobilised and they must exit the lift first.
Driving on loading bridges
Before crossing a loading bridge, the operator
must make sure it is properly attached and se-
cured and its load capacity is sufficient. Cross
the loading bridge slowly and carefully. The
driver must be sure that the vehicle to be en-
tered is secured sufficiently against movement
and that it can support the load of the forklift
truck.
The lorry driver and lift truck operator must co-
ordinate the departure time of the lorry.
