Use
Handling loads
Driving on upward and downward
slopes
Slopes should always be approached with the
load facing towards the top of the slope. Only
slopes marked as clear traffic routes compat-
ible with the truck’s technical specifications
can be safely used.
DANGER
The operator must ensure that the ground is clean
and has a non-slip surface.
Never travel across slopes or make a U-turn on a
slope!
Do not park the truck on a slope.
Reduce speed when going down slopes.
Please observe the maximum gradients
defined as suitable for laden and unladen
transport.
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
secured and its load capacity is sufficient.
Cross the loading bridge slowly and carefully.
The driver must be sure that the vehicle to
be entered is secured sufficiently against
movement and that it can support the load of
the forklift truck.
The lorry driver and lift truck operator must
coordinate the departure time of the lorry.
