Personnel qualifications
Only qualified and authorised personnel
are allowed to perform maintenance work.
The annual testing must be carried out by
a qualified person. The examination and
assessment of the qualified person must
be unaffected by operational and economic
conditions and must be conducted solely
from a safety perspective. The qualified
person must have sufficient knowledge
and experience to be able to assess the
condition of a truck and the effectiveness of
the protective devices in accordance with
technical conventions and the principles for
testing trucks.
Maintenance personnel for batteries
Batteries must only be charged, maintained
or changed by properly trained personnel
in accordance with the instructions from the
manufacturers of the battery, battery charger
and truck. The handling instructions for the
battery and the operating instructions for the
battery charger must be followed.
Maintenance work without special
qualifications
Simple maintenance work, such as checking
the hydraulic oil level, may be carried out by
untrained personnel. A qualification, like that
of a specialist, is not required to carry out this
work. The required operations are described
in sufficient detail in the corresponding places
in these operating instructions.
