Safety
Basic principles for safe operation
DANGER
Risk of injury if the truck tips over!
Even if an approved restraint system
is in use, there is still a residual risk
that the driver could be injured if the
truck tips over. The risk of injury can
be reduced by using the restraint
system in conjunction with the seat
belt. In addition, the seat belt protects
against the consequences of rear-end
collisions and falling off ramps.
– Use the seat belt too.
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury from falling load!
There is a risk to the driver's life if the truck is not
equipped with an overhead guard, as the driver
may be struck by a load falling from a lift height of
1800 mm or greater.
Operation of the forklift truck without an overhead
guard is prohibited with a lift height greater than
1800 mm.
– At lift heights of 1800 mm and above, only use
the truck in conjunction with an overhead guard.
The operating company is only permitted to
make modifications to the truck independently
if the manufacturer goes into liquidation and
the company is not taken over by another legal
person.
The operating company must also fulfil the
following prerequisites:
• Design documents, test documents and
assembly instructions associated with the
modification must be permanently archived
and remain accessible at all times.
• The capacity rating plate, the decal informa-
tion, the hazard warnings and the operating
instructions must be checked to ensure that
they are consistent with the modifications
and must be amended if required.
• Modifications must be designed, checked
and implemented by a design office that
specialises in industrial trucks. The design
office must comply with the standards and
directives valid at the time that modifications
are made.
