Still RCD40, Original Instructions Manual

Page: 13 / 170

Intended use
The industrial truck may only be used as per-
mitted.
The industrial truck is used for moving and lift-
ing the loads indicated on the capacity rating
plate.
Damages and defects
Damages and other defects to industrial trucks
or to attachments must be reported to the Su-
pervisor immediately. Industrial trucks and at-
tachments which are not safe to operate may
not be used until they have been properly re-
paired.
Safety installations and switches may not be
removed or rendered unusable. Specified set-
tings may only be changed with the approval
of the manufacturer.
Danger areas
Danger areas are those areas in which per-
sons are in danger as a result of the move-
ments of industrial trucks, their operating
equipment, their load carrying devices (e.g.
their attachments) or the loaded goods. This
also includes the area which can be reached
by falling goods or lowering or falling operating
equipment and devices.
People must not stand in the danger area of
an industrial truck.
Working areas
Only the areas approved by the operating
company or its representative may be used for
transportation purposes. Loads may only be
deposited or stored at the intended places.
In operating areas with magnetic fields that
have a magnetic flux density greater than
5 mT, unintentional truck and lift mast move-
ments cannot be entirely excluded under un-
favourable circumstances. Components devel-
oped especially for use in such operating
areas must be used.
Driving routes
Driving routes shall be sufficiently paved, level
and free of objects. Drain channels and rail-
ways crossings, etc., shall be levelled and, if
necessary, covered with ramps in such a way
that they can be driven over without bumps as
far as possible.
Industrial trucks shall only be used on routes
without sharp curves, excessive slopes and
gates which are too narrow or too low.
Inclines used by industrial trucks shall not ex-
ceed the limits specified by the manufacturer
and must have an adequately rough surface.
Level and smooth transitions at the upper and
lower end shall prevent the load from touching
the floor or causing damages to the chassis.
The admissible area and point load of driving
lanes or routes may not be exceeded. There
shall be an adequate clearance between the
highest parts of industrial trucks or the load
and the fixed parts of the surrounding areas.
The EU Directive 89/654/EEC (Minimum Reg-
ulations for Health and Safety at Work) shall
be observed. The respective national regula-
tions apply for non-EU countries.
Danger points on driving lanes or routes shall
be secured or marked by the customary road
traffic signs and by additional warning signs, if
necessary.
When driving on public roads, the correspond-
ing regulations must be observed, as well as
country-specific restrictions for winter road
conditions.
Fire protection
The operating company is responsible for ade-
quate fire protection in the vicinity of the indus-
trial truck. Depending on the form of use, it is
responsible for additional fire protection on the
industrial truck. Enquiries should be directed
to the responsible supervisory authority in
case of doubt.
