C - ENVIRONMENT
- Comply with site safety regulations.
- If you have to use the lift truck in a dark area or at night, make sure it is equipped with working lights.
- During handling operations, make sure that no one is in the way of the lift truck and its load.
- Do not allow anybody to come near the working area of the lift truck or pass beneath an elevated load.
- When using the lift truck on a transverse slope, before lifting the mast, follow the instructions given in the paragraph:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING A LOAD: C - TRANSVERSE ATTITUDE OF THE LIFT TRUCK.
- Traveling on a longitudinal slope:
• Drive and brake gently.
• Moving without load: Forks or attachment facing downhill.
• Moving with load: Forks or attachment facing uphill.
- Take into account the lift truck’s dimensions and its load before tr ying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked:
• That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (wagon, lorr y, etc.) will not shift.
• That this platform is prescribed for the total weight of the lift truck to be loaded.
• That this platform is prescribed for the size of the lift truck.
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being cer tain that they are prescribed for the weight and size of the
lift truck to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft ground and manholes.
- Make sure the ground is stable and firm under the wheels before lifting the load.
- Make sure that the scaffolding, loading platform, pilings or ground is capable of bearing the load.
- Never stack loads on uneven ground, they may tip over.
- The load or the attachment must not be left just above a structure for long periods at a time because of the descending mast.
In such a case, a constant watch must be kept and the height of the forks or the attachment readjusted if necessar y.
- When working near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the lift truck and the
aerial line.
You must consult your local electrical agency. You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the lift truck too
close to power cables.
In the event of high winds, do not carry out handling work that jeopardizes the stability of the lift truck and its load, particularly if the
load catches the wind badly.
D - VISIBILITY
- The safety of people within the lift truck's working area, as well as that of the lift truck itself and the operator are depend on
good operator visibility of the lift truck's immediate vicinity in all situations and at all times.
- This lift truck has been designed to allow good operator visibility (direct or indirect by means of rear-view mirrors) of the
immediate vicinity of the lift truck while traveling with no load and with the mast in the transpor t position.
- Special precautions must be taken if the size of the load restricts visibility towards the front:
- moving in reverse,
- site layout,
- assisted by a person directing the maneuver (while standing outside the truck's area of travel), making sure to keep
this person clearly in view at all times,
- in any case, avoid reversing over long distances.
- If visibility of your road is inadequate, ask someone to assist by directing the maneuver (while standing outside the truck's area
of travel), making sure to keep this person clearly in view at all times.
- Keep all components affecting visibility in a clean, properly adjusted state and in good working order (e.g. windscreens, windows,
windscreen wipers, windscreen washers, driving and work lights, rear-view mirrors).
