General safety advice
• All personnel must be kept clear of the
working area (danger zone) of the truck.
Should anyone enter the working area,
all truck movements must be brought to
an immediate standstill and the person
instructed to vacate the area.
• The truck may only be operated from the
operator’s cab.
• When travelling without load, lower fork to
the floor level.
• When travelling with load, the load has to be
lifted several centimeters (max. 500 mm)
above the floor.
• The driver must keep all body parts within
the contours of the driver’s compartment.
The driver must refrain from sticking his
head out to gain a better view and from
reaching into the area of the moving lift
mast, because even doing this is highly
dangerous.
• Aside from the driver, there must be no other
person present on the truck, unless the
truck has additional equipment to enable
operation with two persons.
• If marked travelling paths are provided,
then, for safety reasons the truck may only
be moved within those marks.
• It is not permitted for anyone to stand
beneath a raised load or cab.
• The operator is obliged to adjust the driving
speed to the relevant situation. Particularly
when driving around corners, the overall
height and the high centre of gravity must
be taken into consideration.
• The condition of the floor surface influences
the braking distance of the truck. The driver
must take account of this in his driving and
braking style.
