Prohibition of use by unauthorised
persons

Basic principles for safe operation
Changes and retrofitting
Modifications that will adversely affect the
truck, such as its stability, load capacity
and safety systems, must not be carried out
without the truck manufacturer’s approval.
Changes to the brakes, steering, control el-
ements, circumferential view, special equip-
ment, attachments etc. must also not be made
without the prior written approval of the manu-
facturer.
If the manufacturer approves a change, the
capacity rating plate, decal information, haz-
ard warnings and the operating instructions
must be changed accordingly.
If the manufacturer ceases to operate and the
company is not taken over by another legal
person/body, the operating company can
make changes to the truck.
To do so, the operating company must fulfil
the following prerequisites:
Construction documents, test documents
and assembly instructions associated with
the change must be archived and remain
accessible at all times.
Check that the capacity rating plate, decal in-
formation, hazard warnings and the operating
instructions are consistent with regard to the
changes and change if necessary.
The change must be designed, checked
and implemented by a design office that
specialises in industrial trucks in accordance
with the standards and directives valid at the
time the changes are made.
