Safety
Basic principles for safe operation
WARNING
Danger of serious injury from high accumulator
pressure!
– Depressurise the accumulator before starting
work on it.
– Contact your service centre.
Drivers with medical devices
If drivers use medical devices, e.g. pace-
makers or hearing aids, their function may be
impaired. Check with a doctor or the medical
equipment manufacturer whether the equip-
ment is sufficiently protected against electro-
magnetic interference.
Modifications and retrofitting
If the truck is used for work not listed in the
directives or in these instructions and has to
be converted or retrofitted accordingly, be
aware that any modification to its structural
state can affect the handling and stability of
the truck, which in turn can cause accidents.
You should therefore contact your service
centre beforehand.
Changes that will adversely affect stability,
load capacity, safety systems etc. must not be
made without the manufacturer's approval.
The truck may only be converted with the writ-
ten approval of the manufacturer. Approval
from the relevant authority must be obtained
where applicable.
Changes to the brakes, steering, control el-
ements, circumferential view, special equip-
ment and attachments etc. must also not be
made without prior written approval from the
manufacturer.
For safety reasons, it is prohibited to drill holes
into the driver's overhead guard or to perform
welding on it.
When carrying out welding on other parts of
the truck, it is essential that the battery and all
connections to the electronic control cards are
disconnected. Contact your service centre.
