AUTION
WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL IT MEANS :
WARNING ! BE CAREFUL ! YOUR SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF THE LIFT TRUCK IS AT RISK.
- Most accidents connected with the use, maintenance and repair of the lift truck are due to non application of the basic safety
instructions. By being aware of the risks to which you are exposed and by taking the necessary preventive measures, you
should be able to avoid accidents occurring.
- Any operation or manœuvre not described in the operator's manual is theoretically prohibited, but anyone using a different
method should first make sure that it does not endanger his own safety or that of others, or of the lift truck.
- The manufacturer is not able to anticipate all possible risk situations. Therefore the safety instructions and notices given in the
user manual and on the lift truck are not exhaustive.
Any bending of the rules in safety notices or the user, maintenance or repair instructions for your lift truck may result in
serious, or even fatal, accidents.
We would remind users of the risks in driving at excessive speed with regard to traffic conditions, particularly :
- Risk of loss of control on a poor-quality track.
- Increased stopping distance.
The user must remain in full control of his lift truck and should :
- Adapt his speed to each situation in order to be maintain his own safety, that of others and of his equipment.
- Always be aware of his stopping distance.
On the basis of experience, there are a number of possible situations in which operating the lift truck is contra-indicated.
Such foreseeable abnormal uses, the main ones being listed below, are strictly forbidden.
- The foreseeable abnormal behaviour resulting from ordinary neglect, but does not result from any wish to put the
machinery to any improper use.
- The reflex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. during operation of the lift truck.
- Behaviour resulting from application of the "principle of least action" when performing a task.
- For certain machines, the foreseeable behaviour of such persons as : apprentices, teenagers, handicapped persons,
trainees tempted to drive a lift truck, truck drivers tempted to operate a truck to win a bet, in competition or for their own
personal experience.
The person in charge of the equipment must take these criteria into account when assessing whether or not a person will
make a suitable driver.
