• Avoid fire hazards and have fire protection equipment present.
• Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable cleaning fluids to clean parts.
• Do not use open flames to check levers, or to check for leakages of electrolyte,
fluids or oil.
• The pallet truck needs to be kept in a clean condition to minimise fire hazards and
facilitate detection of loose or defective parts.
• The pallet truck may only be used by trained personnel.
• The driver is responsible for the pallet truck during the time it is in use. He or she
shall prevent unauthorised persons from driving or operating the pallet truck.
• It is forbidden to carry passengers or lift people with the truck.

obstructions, debris, overhead obstructions and high-voltage conductors,
inadequate surface support to withstand all load forces imposed by the machine.
