Handling loads
Load handling safety rules
WARNING
Closely follow the following instructions before
picking up loads. Never touch or stand on moving
parts of the truck (e.g. lifting device, pushing
devices, work installations or devices for picking
up loads).
WARNING
Take care not to trap hands or feet when operating
the truck.
DANGER
Safety footwear must be worn.
CAUTION
Transporting people is strictly prohibited.
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch adjacent loads or loads
positioned at the side or in front of the load being
handled.
The loads are to be stacked so that they are aligned
with a small space between each of them and so
that they do not catch each other.
Picking up a load
– Approach the load carefully.
– Lower the load arms so that they can easily
be inserted into the pallet.
– Insert the load arms under the load.
– If the load is shorter than the load arms,
position it so that the end of the load over-
hangs the end of the load arms by a few
centimetres, in order to avoid hooking the
load in front.
– Raise the load a few centimetres.
– Withdraw the load slowly and in a straight
line.
Transporting a load
– Always drive forwards for optimum visibility.
– When carrying a load on a slope, always
climb and descend with the load uphill.
Never travel across the slope or make a
U-turn.
– Reverse travel must only be used for
depositing a load. Since visibility in this
direction is restricted, you should only travel
at very low speed.
– To facilitate movement over obstacles,
increase the ground clearance.
DANGER
Personnel must not stand under or near the truck
when the load is in the raised position.
0252_003-104
DANGER
The operator must ensure that the ground is clean
and has a non-slip surface.
Never travel across slopes or make a U-turn on a
slope!
Do not park the truck on a slope.
Reduce speed when going down slopes.
Proper usage
Operating range 1: permanent use in areas
with temperatures of –5 °C and for short
periods of time down to –10 °C. Parking
outside the cold store.
1044_920-001
Use
General
The change in temperature between the
cold indoors and the heat outside causes
condensation. This water can freeze when
the truck goes back into the cold store and jam
the moving parts of the truck. This is why the
length of time the truck remains in the different
temperature areas given below for the two
operating ranges must be strictly adhered to.
The temperature of the traction batteries must
never fall to the temperature of the cold store,
otherwise they will stop working.
Prior to start-up
CAUTION
The truck must be dry and at operating temperature
before being used in the cold store.
Use
Operating range 1
Permanent use in areas with temperatures
of–5 °C and for short periods of time down to
–10 °C.
Operating range 2
Alternating use indoors with temperatures
down to –32 °C and outside with temperatures
up to +25 °C for short periods of time even
up to +40 °C. The truck must not leave the
cold area for more than 10 minutes, because
this length of time is not long enough for the
formation of condensation. If the truck stays
outside for longer than 10 minutes, it must
remain outside for long enough to allow the
condensation to run away. This generally
takes at least 30 minutes.
DANGER
If the condensation freezes in the cold store, the
moving parts that have become jammed must not
be freed by hand.
Parking
– Always park the truck outside the cold store.
CAUTION
The batteries must not remain discharged or un-
used in the cold store overnight.
NOTE
In the event of an electrical fault or no battery,
it is possible to unlock the brake manually.
CAUTION
This procedure must be carried out by authorised
personnel.
CAUTION
The truck must only be towed at low speeds.

NOTE
We recommend that this operation be carried
out by our After-Sales Service Centre.
NOTE
Adjusting the clevis (1) with new drive wheel
and stabiliser wheels R = 22 mm.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Lower the stabilisers to stabilise the truck.
• Lift the stabilisers if the truck often encoun-
ters obstacles and if grip must be improved.
Follow the instructions below to adjust the
height of the stabilisers:
– Loosen the lock nut (2) (36 spanner) by
holding the ball bearing (3) by its flat surface
(36 spanner)
– Tighten the clevis (1) using a 14 mm Allen
key to lower the wheel or loosen the clevis
(1) using a 14 mm Allen key to lift the wheel
– After adjustment, lock the clevis (1) with the
lock nut (2) tightened to a torque of 35 Nm
NOTE
To screw, unscrew or lock the clevis (1) always
hold the ball bearing (3) by its flat surface (36
spanner) during the procedure.
CAUTION
Only use hydraulic oil that complies with the specifi-
cations (see lubrication table).
NOTE
If significant wear is found, replace the worn
collars and pins before the other components
are damaged.
Battery maintenance
The operations described below relate to
lead batteries with liquid electrolyte. For
batteries with gel electrolyte, which are said
to be "maintenance-free", please refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Avoid contact with the acid. Do not create a short-
circuit. Refer to the recommendations in the daily
checks section. The electrolyte contains sulphuric
acid, which is a hazardous product. Wear gloves
and goggles when working on the battery. In case
of contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with
clean water, then seek medical advice if necessary.
Charging the battery releases hydrogen, which can
create an explosive mixture. Do not create sparks,
do not smoke and keep naked flames away from
a battery which is being charged or has recently
been charged. To prevent the accumulation of
hydrogen, keep the battery cover open during
charging. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated
room. Do not place metal objects on the battery:
there is a risk of creating a short-circuit.
CAUTION
Before commencing work, unplug the battery
connector by pulling the emergency stop handle.
CAUTION
Only top up with demineralised water. Never top
up before charging (risk of overflow). Do not overfill
the cells.
NOTE
For more information, refer to the instructions
supplied with the battery.
NOTE
If the density in the cells differs or it is very low
in certain cells, contact our service engineers.
Allowing the battery charge to fall below the
threshold of 1.14 is very detrimental to its
service life.
Transmission
Drain the transmission gear oil
Hydraulic system
Drain the hydraulic system
.
Filling up
– Fit new seals on the tank and couplings.
– Refit the unit in the technical compartment
with its tube and upper support.
– Connect the pipes and the power supply.
– Unscrew the filler plug.
– Fill up the tank through the filler hole.
– Tighten the plug.
– Operate the lifting system several times.
CAUTION
Always use hydraulic oil in accordance with the
specifications (see lubrication table).
NOTE
This operation must be carried out by the
service centre.

NOTE
Lower or higher noise values may occur when
using industrial trucks, due e.g. to the method
of operation, environmental factors and other
sources of noise.
NOTE
The vibration characteristic for bodily vibrati-
ons cannot be used to determine the actual
load level of vibrations during operation. This
depends on the operating conditions (state
of pathway, method of operation etc.) and
should therefore be determined on site, where
appropriate. It is mandatory to specify the
hand-arm vibrations even where the values do
not indicate any hazard, as in this case.
