Insurance coverage on company
premises
In many cases, company premises are re-
stricted public traffic areas.
NOTE
We advise checking your public liability insur-
ance to determine whether you have insur-
ance coverage for your industrial truck with
respect to third parties in the event of damage
in restricted public traffic areas.
Changes and retrofitting
If your forklift truck is used for work not listed
in the guidelines or in these instructions and
must be consequently converted or retrofitted,
be aware that each change to the structural
state can affect the handling and the stability
of the forklift truck and can result in accidents.
Therefore, contact your service centre in ad-
vance. Changes that will disadvantageously
affect stability among other things may not be
made without our approval.
The forklift truck can only be converted with
our written approval. Approval from the re-
sponsible authority must be obtained if neces-
sary.
We warn against the installation and use of
restraint systems not approved by us.
DANGER
Even when using a restraint system
there is some residual risk that the
driver might be injured if the truck
tips over. This risk of injury can
be reduced through the combined
use of a restraint system and the
seat belt. In addition, the belt
protects against the consequences
of rear-end collisions and falling off a
ramp.
Accordingly, we recommend use of
the seat belt as well.
