2.1.36
NEVER START THE NIFTYLIFT IF YOU SMELL GASOLINE, LIQUID PROPANE
OR DIESEL FUEL.THESE FUELS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
2.1.37
The operator shall implement means provided to protect against use by unauthorised persons.
2.1.38
Never remove anything that may affect the stability of the machine such as, but not limited to, batteries,
covers, engines, tyres or ballast.
2.2
ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS
All Niftylift Self Drives are limited to operation as previously described. Unless specifically configured
otherwise, the machine will have short time rating for operation in extreme temperatures, i.e. reduced
battery cycle times for low temperatures, e.g. freezers, food storage etc, cooling limitations for high
temperatures, i.e. oil temperature not to exceed -23 to 93
°
Celsius.
Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended, frequent cleaning will be necessary. All
dust, dirt, salt encrustation, excess oil or grease should be removed. Deposits of paint or bitumen,
particularly on legends or labels should be removed.
All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 28mph or force 6 on the Beaufort scale.
No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind strengths above this limit and if the operator
has any doubts over the wind speed he / she should cease operation immediately until it can be
established that the wind speed has fallen to a safe level.
DO NOT USE THE NIFTYLIFT IN ELECTRICAL STORMS
2.3
NOISE AND VIBRATION
The airborne noise emission on the SD34T range of machines does not exceed 79dB(A), measured at
a perpendicular distance of 13’, under equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure test
conditions. This was based on a Diesel powered machine, working on high throttle, and under load. All
other models will exhibit significantly lower emissions than this figure, dependant on power option.
In normal operation the Vibration level to which the operator is subjected will not exceed a weighted
root mean square acceleration value of 2.5 m/s
