C Appropriate use

NOTICE This Operating Manual contains all necessary information for the transport,
commissioning, normal use, maintenance, and servicing of the industrial
truck it describes, in accordance with ASME B56.1-2004, UL 583 and ANSI
Z535.4-2002. You should read these instructions carefully to ensure the safe
and correct use of the industrial truck.
The vehicle complies with the current EC guidelines, particularly the EC
Machinery Directive 98/37/EG and the Euronorms EN 1726 - 1/2. On the
basis of this compliance with the EC regulations named above, the vehicle
has been certified with the CE symbol.
The industrial truck described in this Operating Manual is suitable for lifting and
transporting loads.
This vehicle must be used and maintained in accordance with the information set out
in this Operating Manual. Any other usage constitutes improper use and may lead to
damage or injury. In particular, overloading as a result of excessive weight or
unbalanced loads must be avoided. The maximum permissible loading capacity is
stated on the nameplate and on the load diagram sticker on the industrial truck. The
industrial truck may not be used in areas where there is a risk of fire or explosion, or
a corrosive or dusty atmosphere.
This Operating Manual must be kept available throughout the entire period of use of
the vehicle.
Duties of the owner: Depending on the context cited in this Operating Manual, the
user of an industrial truck can refer to several people, including the owner of the truck,
anyone who leases or borrows the truck, and the operator as defined in ASME B56.1-
2004. Generally speaking, the employer is the user, whereas his or her employee will
frequently perform the duties of the operator as described in the OSHA regulations.
Every user must know and apply the applicable rules and regulations relating to the
use and operation of the truck. The Operating Manual applies to all users and is
aimed at the people who actually operate the truck.
The operator and owner must ensure that the industrial truck is used correctly and
only within its design limits, and that all health and safety risks to operators or third
parties are avoided. The relevant accident prevention regulations and all relevant
safety provisions, along with operating, servicing and maintenance instructions, must
also be followed. The operator and owner must also ensure that anyone using the
truck has read and understood this Operating Manual. The owner must ensure that
all operators of the truck have read and understood this Operating Manual and that
they have successfully completed all legally required training and aptitude testing
before working with the truck.
Operators and users should understand that the vehicle operation changes if the
functions of manually operated trucks are automated(for example, rail-mounted
trucks or trucks with inductive guidance), resulting in changes to performance
features and maintenance procedures, and requiring additional safety precautions.
If a manually operated industrial truck is adapted to include an automatic function, the
implications of the automation on all other functions must be considered. Other
functions may also need to be automated to some degree.
