Correct use and application
The truck described in the operation manual is an industrial truck designed for lifting
and transporting load units.
It must be used, operated and serviced in accordance with the present instructions.
Any other type of use is beyond the scope of application and can result in damage to
personnel, the truck or property. In particular, avoid overloading the truck with loads
which are too heavy or placed on one side. The data plate attached to the truck or the
load diagram are binding for the maximum load capacity. The industrial truck must not
be used in fire or explosion endangered areas, or areas threatened by corrosion or
excessive dust.
Proprietor responsibilities
For the purposes of the operation manual the “proprietor” is defined as any natural or
legal person who either uses the industrial truck himself, or on whose behalf it is used.
In special cases (e.g. leasing or renting) the proprietor is considered the person who,
in accordance with existing contractual agreements between the owner and user of
the industrial truck, is charged with operational duties.
The proprietor must ensure that the truck is used only for the purpose it is intended for
and that danger to life and limb of the user and third parties are excluded.
Furthermore, accident prevention regulations, safety regulations and operating,
servicing and repair guidelines must be followed. The proprietor must ensure that all
truck users have read and understood this operator manual.
Failure to comply with the operation manual shall invalidate the warranty. The same
applies if improper work is carried out on the truck by the customer or third parties
without the permission of the manufacturer’s customer service department.
Attaching accessories
The mounting or installation of additional equipment which affects or supplements the
performance of the industrial truck requires the written permission of the manufacturer.
In some cases, local authority approval shall be required.
Approval of the local authorities however does not constitute the manufacturer’s
Approval.
