3.2. General safety instructions
• The operator should read all warning signs and instructions in the manual and on
the pallet truck before using it.
• Do not operate a pallet truck unless you have been trained or authorised to do so.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity.
• The operator should wear safety shoes and gloves when using or maintaining the
pallet truck.
• It is forbidden to carry or lift passengers.
• The pallet truck can’t be used if it’s damaged or when faults appear.
• Do not use the pallet truck on a slope. It is designed to be used on even and level
floors.
• The weight of the goods should be distributed over the two forks, do not use only
one fork. The centre of gravity of the goods should be in the centre of the two forks.
• Be aware of hazardous situations like ledges or potholes, bumps and floor
obstructions, debris, overhead obstructions and high-voltage conductors,
inadequate surface support to withstand all load forces imposed by the machine.
• When transporting goods, raise the forks as little as possible. Transport with
raised forks should be carried out slowly and for as short a distance as possible.
• Do not operate a pallet truck unless you are of age.
• The person responsible for the use of the product must make sure that all of the
safety rules in force in the country of its use are applied, to guarantee that the
equipment is used in conformity with the use for which it is destined and to avoid
any dangerous situation for the user.
• In case of emergency, use the emergency stop button.
The pallet truck is equipped with a pressure valve and an overflow valve:
• The pressure valve on the machine is factory-set for the maximum load capacity of
2500 kg or according to the capacity mentioned on the pallet truck.
• The pressure relief valve is set to avoid the risk of overloading. When the machine
is overloaded, the overflow valve opens to prevent lifting, because that could result
in a dangerous situation.
