Driving on slopes
Instructions
Before approaching a slope with the truck, the
operator must check and verify the following:
●
When driving the truck up or down slopes,
you must not exceed the values indicated
for slopes in the "Technical data" para-
graph. The reported values represent the
maximum theoretical slope that the truck
can handle with and without a load. The op-
erator must keep in mind that the actual val-
ues could be lower depending on the wear
on the truck or its parts, the shape of the
slope's edges and the traction between the
truck's wheels and the surface of the slope
●
The surface of the uphill or downhill slope is
clear of objects and sufficiently lit
●
The surface of the uphill or downhill slope
must not be slippery; it must provide ade-
quate grip for the truck. Consider the ambi-
ent conditions
●
The operator must ensure that the load or
parts of the truck do not come into contact
with the ground at the upper and lower ends
of the slope
WARNING
Risk of tipping and accident
Reduce speed and drive slowly and carefully on up-
hill and downhill slopes.
DANGER
Risk of tipping
When driving up or down slopes, do not turn, reverse
and/or travel diagonally.
WARNING
When travelling on a slope with a load on the forks,
the load on the forks must be facing uphill.
DANGER
Risk of accident and falling
Keep the truck at the required safety distance from
the edges of uphill and downhill slopes.
CAUTION
In certain cases, driving with the forks pointing to-
wards the top of the slope is permitted, even if the
truck is not loaded.
In these cases, drive with the utmost care and avoid
turning until all of the wheels are on a flat surface.
DANGER
Risk of accident
Do not park on a slope. If, in an emergency, you
have to do so, apply the parking brake and block the
wheels with wheel chocks.
Using the truck on a lift
Using the truck on lifts is only allowed if the lift
has sufficient capacity (check the maximum
weight of the truck including the traction bat-
tery), and only with appropriate authorisation.
Slowly drive the truck onto the lift load-first.
Secure the truck in the lift so that no part of
the truck comes into contact with the walls of
the lift. A minimum distance of 100 mm from
the walls of the lift must always be observed.
WARNING
The truck must be correctly immobilised so that it
cannot move inadvertently.
CAUTION
Personnel accompanying the truck onto the lift may
only enter the lift once the truck is secure, and they
must exit the lift first after transit.
