Loading and unloading the truck
To load and unload the truck, use a loading
bridge or a lift (with a slope and structural
strength that are compatible with the perform-
ance and weight of the truck as stated by the
manufacturer, and which must be suitably
positioned and anchored). See the relevant
section. Alternatively, a crane or a bridge
crane may be used.
The truck must be suitably protected against
the weather during transport and storage.
Lifting with a crane or a bridge crane
CAUTION
Always switch off the truck and disconnect the bat-
tery.
Never secure or sling the truck using points that are
not designed for this purpose.
–
Insert the rope sling into the suitable eye-
lets. The lifting capacity of the hook and the
rope sling must be sufficient to bear the
weight of the truck (with its battery). The po-
sition is indicated by the hook symbol .
See Chapter 2 for the location of the labels
for each model of truck.
DANGER
Use a crane with a suitable lifting capacity for the
weight of the truck, which is indicated on its data
plate. Also take into account the weight of the bat-
tery fitted (if applicable) by referring to the relevant
identification plate. Lifting operations must be per-
formed by qualified personnel. DO NOT stand with-
in the crane's radius of action or near the truck. Do
not stand in the danger area below suspended
loads. Use NON-METALLIC rope slings. Use safety
hooks. Make sure that the lifting capacity of the
rope slings is suitable for the weight of the truck
with its battery.
DANGER
The rope slings should be long enough so as to not
graze the casings or any additional equipment dur-
ing lifting. Use a lifting beam if necessary. The rope
slings must be pulled vertically.
CAUTION
Slings may damage the truck's paintwork.
Slings may damage the paintwork by rubbing or
compressing the surface of the truck. Particularly
hard or sharp-edged slings, such as cables or
chains, may damage the surface.
–
If necessary, use textile slings, e.g. lifting straps,
with edge protectors or similar protective devices.
