Safety regulations in case of accidental lateral tipping
If as a result of incorrect manoeuvring the
truck appears to be tipping over sideways,
carefully follow the instructions below:
a) Do not leave the forklift truck.
b) Tilt your head forward and move your body
in the opposite direction to which the forklift is
tipping.
c) Remain firmly seated, grip the steering
wheel and dig your heels in. Wait until the
truck has reached a stable position before
leaving the truck.
Exercise caution when handling gas springs and accumulators
WARNING
Gas springs are under high pressure. Improper re-
moval results in an elevated risk of injury.
For ease of operation, various functions on the truck
can be supported by gas springs. Gas springs are
complex components that are subject to high internal
pressures (up to 300 bar). They may under no cir-
cumstances be opened unless instructed to do so,
and may be installed only when not under pressure.
If required, the authorised service centre will de-
pressurise the gas spring in accordance with the reg-
ulations before removal. Gas springs must be dep-
ressurised before recycling.
–
Avoid damage, lateral forces, buckling, tempera-
tures over 80°C and heavy contamination.
–
Damaged or defective gas springs must be
changed immediately.
–
Contact the authorised service centre.
WARNING
Accumulators are under high pressure. Improper in-
stallation of an accumulator results in an elevated
risk of injury.
Before starting work on the accumulator it must be
depressurised.

Contact the authorised service centre.
