Operating in Hazardous Areas:
Standard trucks are not equipped to operate in cold stores, flammable or
explosive areas, corrosive atmospheres or areas containing a high degree of
dust contamination. Sparks from the exhaust or electrical system or hot parts
can ignite explosions and fires.
Do not attempt to lift or place a load in a poorly lit area where vision is
obscured or reduced.
Do not work in enclosed spaces where flammable materials, explosive
vapours, or combustible dust are found.
Stay clear of flammable materials such as hay, straw, paper and
cardboard.
Park the truck only in areas free of flammable materials.
Diesel engine exhaust emissions are toxic in concentrated amounts.
Do not operate the truck in enclosed spaces or inadequately ventilated
spaces.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (breathing filter,
protective suit) for protection against specific dangers, e.g. poisonous
gases, corrosive steam, poisonous surroundings, etc.
Gradients:
When differences in levels exist, gradient ramps should be provided,
having smooth, gradual level changes at the top and bottom to prevent
shocks to the load or fouling of the forks.
Do not drive across, turn or stack on gradients.
Correct gradient procedure should be followed at all times.
Do not park on a gradient. In an emergency apply the parking brake
and chock the wheels - but do not leave the truck unattended.
Always approach an incline straight on, and keep forks and /or load
facing uphill at all times.
Adverse Weather Conditions:
There are a number of weather conditions for which extra care must be taken.
High Winds: Do not raise the mast in winds that are greater in speed
than 50km/hr as this can have serious effects on the stability of the
machine.
Electrical Storms: Always discontinue operation of the truck in the
event of an approaching electrical storm due to the associated risks of
lightning.
Extreme Temperatures: These forklift trucks are designed for use in
ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40°F) to +40°C (+104°F) if
the correct hydraulic oils and greases are used. If the temperature falls
below or rises above this range discontinue operation of the machine in
order to prevent damage to various components. For operation outside
these temperatures, please consult your Combilift partner as special
modifications and lubricants are required.
