Flexi ACiON Operator Handbook
Battery Charging
Charging installations must be sited in designated
areas that are well ventilated and properly equipped.
Batteries contain sulphuric acid and generate
explosive gasses when being charged. They must
be charged in designated, well ventilated areas by
trained and authorised personnel only.
When checking electrolyte levels, do not use a naked
flame eg.cigarette lighter or matches for illumination.
When transporting, checking or charging batteries
the operator should wear protective clothing and
goggles and take particular care not to spill or come
into contact with electrolyte (battery acid).
Fire fighting equipment and a supply of fresh, clean
water should be ready available in the charging area
at all times in case of accidents.
In the event of an accident flush acid away from the
eyes and/or skin using plenty of plain water and
obtain medical attention immediately.
If battery acid is spilled on the floor, clean up
promptly using a neutraliser such as baking soda.
WARNING
Smoking and the use of naked lights in the
charging area is strictly prohibited.
Operating In Hazardous Areas
No spark proofing is fitted to the truck as standard.
Consequently it MUST NOT be used in flammable or
explosive areas. For further details contact the
manufacturer.
The truck MUST NOT be used in corrosive
atmospheres or in areas containing a high degree of
dust contamination.
Safe Driving On Gradients
When differences in levels exist, low 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.
Note: When carrying the maximum permitted load
and the Parking Brake Lever is in the "On" position
the brakes will hold the truck on a 10% (6º) gradient
having a smooth, dry and clean concrete surface.
When a load is being carried, the load should face
uphill. When no load is being carried the forks
should face downhill.
Maintenance Platforms (Cages)
Sometimes known as Working Platforms are
attachments used to raise persons to a height.
Such platforms, the truck used and the method of
operation should all comply with the Guidance Note
PM28 issued by the Health & Safety Executive.
