Description of the truck
General
The STILL RX50 10-16 is an electrically driven
counterbalanced truck. The truck has a load
capacity of up to 1.6 tonnes with a load centre
of gravity of 500 mm. The truck can reach
speeds of up to 12.5 km/h without a load.
It is suitable for interior use and for outdoor
use.
The display-operating unit manages all func-
tions that are not called up by the operating
devices for drive functions and hydraulic func-
tions. All messages and driving condition
information are issued via the display. The
display-operating unit uses the current battery
charge state and the selected drive program
to calculate the remaining available time until
the battery has to be recharged and displays
this information.
The truck supports all functions of FleetMan-
ager 4.0 (variant).

Brake system
The brake system of the truck comprises three
different brakes:
• Service brake
• Regenerative brake
• Parking brake
The service brake is based on a drum brake on
the front axle. This drum brake is used as the
service brake for heavy braking or emergency
braking with the brake pedal. When the brake
pedal is operated, the electric traction motor
is automatically actuated as a regenerative
brake. The regenerative brake converts the
acceleration energy of the truck into electrical
energy. This causes the truck to decelerate as
soon as the accelerator pedal is released.
Completely removing your foot from the
accelerator pedal causes the truck to brake
until it comes to a standstill. A mechanical
parking brake ensures that the truck remains
securely in place when parked.

Foreword 1
Your truck

Hydraulic system
The steering system, the lift cylinders and the
tilt cylinders in the lift mast are supplied with
power via a hydraulic pump operated by an
electric motor.
The proportional valve technology provides
particularly sensitive movements and safe
handling of the load. The hydraulic functions
can be parameterised individually by the
authorised service centre.
Up to three hydraulic circuits can be used to
activate attachments (variant). Depending on
the equipment, a hydraulic accumulator is also
available in the lifting circuit for the purpose of
dampening pressure peaks in the hydraulic
system.

Drive concept
The STILL RX50 10-16 is driven via the rear
wheel by a maintenance-free three-phase
drive with 24-volt technology.
Lead-acid batteries that can be replaced from
the side supply the power.
The driver can help to influence the energy
consumption and performance of the truck
using the "Blue-Q" efficiency mode, which
allows the required setting for each current
application to be called up via the display-
operating unit.

Steering
The kickback-free, hydraulic rear-wheel
steering with "Curve Speed Control" (CSC)
ensures driving stability when cornering,
allowing the truck to achieve a small turning
circle and negotiate narrow aisle widths.

Operation
A multi-lever, Fingertip, mini-lever and the
Joystick 4Plus are available as operating
devices for the hydraulic functions. These
operating devices enable precise operation
and smooth control of the lifting speed thanks
to directly controlled valves and proportional
valve technology.

1 Foreword
Your truck

For drive mode, the truck features either


single-pedal or dual-pedal operation. The
accelerator pedal is used to accelerate and
brake (electric brake) the truck. In emergency
situations or when carrying heavy loads, the
driver can also brake the truck using the
service brake by pressing the brake pedal.
In dual-pedal operation, the truck has one
pedal for the "Forwards" drive direction and
one pedal for the "Reverse" drive direction.
Acceleration and braking behaviour can be
individually selected from five different drive
programmes.

General
The truck described in these operating instruc-
tions corresponds to the applicable standards
and safety regulations.
If the truck is to be operated on public roads, it
must conform to the existing national regula-
tions for the country in which it is being used.
The driving permit must be obtained from the
appropriate office.
The truck has been fitted with state-of-the-
art technology. Following these operating
instructions will allow the truck to be handled
safely. By complying with the specifications in
these operating instructions, the functionality
and the approved features of the truck will be
retained.
Get to know the technology, understand it
and use it safely - these operating instructions
provide the necessary information and help to
avoid accidents and to keep the truck ready for
operation beyond the warranty period.
Therefore:
– Before commissioning the truck, read
the operating instructions and follow the
instructions.
– Always follow all of the safety information
contained in the operating instructions and
on the truck.

CE labelling
The manufacturer uses CE labelling to indi-
cate that the truck complies with the standards
and regulations valid at the time of marketing.
This is confirmed by the issued EC declaration
of conformity. The CE labelling is attached to
the nameplate.
An independent structural change or addition
to the truck can compromise safety, thus
invalidating the EC declaration of conformity.
The EC declaration of conformity must be
carefully stored and made available to the
responsible authorities.

Essentials for safe operation

Essentials for safe operation


Insurance cover on company
premises
In many cases, company premises are
restricted public traffic areas.

NOTE
The business liability insurance should be
reviewed to ensure that, in the event of any
damage caused in restricted public traffic
areas, there is insurance cover for the truck in
respect of third parties.

Changes and retrofitting


If the truck is used for work that is not listed
in the guidelines or in these instructions and
has to be converted or retrofitted accordingly,
you must note that any change to its structural
state can affect the handling and stability of
the truck, which in turn can lead to accidents.
You should therefore contact your service
centre beforehand.
Changes that will adversely affect stability,
load capacity and safety systems, among
other things, must not be made without the
manufacturer's approval.
The truck can only be converted with written
approval from the manufacturer. Approval
from the responsible authority must be ob-
tained if necessary.
Changes to the brakes, steering, control
elements, circumferential view, equipment
variants (e.g. attachments) must also not be
made without the prior written approval of the
manufacturer.
We warn against the installation and use
of restraint systems not approved by the
manufacturer.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 27
2 Safety
Essentials for safe operation

DANGER
Risk of injury if truck tips over!
Even when using an approved
restraint system, there is some
residual risk that the driver might
be injured if the truck tips over. This
risk of injury can be reduced through
the combined use of a restraint
system and the seat belt. In addition,
the seat belt protects against the
consequences of rear-end collisions
and falling off a ramp.
– Use the seat belt too.

When carrying out welding work on the


truck, it is essential that the battery and all
connections to the electronic control cards are
disconnected. Contact the authorised service
centre on this matter.

DANGER
Risk of explosion from additional holes
in the battery hood!
Explosive gases can escape and
lead to potentially fatal injuries if they
explode. Sealing holes with plugs
is not sufficient to prevent gas from
escaping.
– Do not drill any holes in the battery
hood.

DANGER
Risk of accident from additional holes in the battery
hood!
The rigidity of the battery hood is impaired and
the battery hood may fracture. The driver's seat
may collapse, leading to a risk of accident due to
uncontrolled steering movements whilst driving.
– Do not drill any holes in the battery hood.

28 55048011501 EN - 02/2018
Safety 2
Essentials for safe operation

DANGER
Risk to life from falling load!
If the truck is not equipped with an overhead guard,
there is a risk to the driver's life, as he may be struck
by a load falling from a lift height of 1800 mm or
greater.
Operation of the truck without an overhead guard at
a lift height of over 1800 mm is prohibited.
– For lift heights of 1800 mm and above, only use
trucks with an overhead guard.

In the event of the manufacturer going into


liquidation and the company not being taken
over by another legal person, the operating
company can make changes to the truck.
To do so, the operating company must fulfil
the following prerequisites:
Construction documents, test documents
and assembly instructions associated with
the change must be archived and remain
accessible at all times.
Check that the capacity rating plate, decal in-
formation, hazard warnings and the operating
instructions are consistent with regard to the
changes and modify if necessary.
The change must be designed, checked
and implemented by a design office that
specialises in industrial trucks in accordance
with the standards and directives valid at the
time the changes are made.
Decal information with the following data must
be permanently affixed to the truck so it is
clearly visible:
– Type of change
– Date of change
– Name and address of the company imple-
menting the change.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 29
2 Safety
Essentials for safe operation

Changes to the overhead guard and


roof loads

DANGER
In the event of the overhead guard failing due to
a falling load or the truck tipping over, there are
potentially fatal consequences for the driver. There
is a risk to life!
Welding and drilling on the overhead guard chan-
ges the material characteristics and the structural
design of the overhead guard. Excessive forces
caused by falling loads or the truck tipping over may
result in buckling of the modified overhead guard
and no protection for the driver.
– Do not perform welding on the overhead guard.
– Do not perform drilling on the overhead guard.

CAUTION
Heavy roof loads damage the overhead guard!
To ensure the stability of the overhead guard at
all times, a roof load may only be mounted on the
overhead guard if the structural design has been
tested and the manufacturer has given approval.
– Seek advice from the authorised service centre
for the mounting of roof loads.

Warning regarding non-original parts


Original parts, attachments and accessories
are specially designed for this truck. We
specifically draw your attention to the fact that
parts, attachments and accessories supplied
by other companies have not been tested and
approved by STILL.
CAUTION
Installation and/or use of such products may there-
fore have a negative impact on the design features
of the truck and thus impair active and/or passive
driving safety.
We recommend that you obtain approval from the
manufacturer and, if necessary, from the relevant
regulatory authorities before installing such parts.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any da-
mage caused by the use of non-original parts and
accessories without approval.

30 55048011501 EN - 02/2018
Safety 2
Essentials for safe operation

Damage, defects and misuse of


safety systems
Damage or other defects on the truck or
attachment must be reported to the supervisor
or responsible fleet manager immediately so
that they can have the defect rectified.
Trucks and attachments that are not functional
or safe to drive may not be used until they have
been properly repaired.
Do not remove or deactivate safety systems
and switches.
Fixed set values may only be changed with the
approval of the manufacturer.
Work on the electrical system (e.g. connecting
a radio, additional headlights etc.) is only
permitted with the manufacturer's written
approval. All electrical system interventions
must be documented.
Even if they are removable, roof panels may
not be removed, as they are designed to
protect against small falling objects.

Tyres

DANGER
Risk to stability!
Failure to observe the following information and
instructions can lead to a loss of stability. The truck
may tip over, risk of accident!

The following factors can lead to a loss of


stability and are therefore prohibited:
• Different tyres on the same axle, e.g.
pneumatic tyres and superelastic tyres
• Tyres not approved by the manufacturer
• Excessive tyre wear
• Tyres of inferior quality
• Changing rim wheel parts
• Combining rim wheel parts from different
manufacturers

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 31
2 Safety
Essentials for safe operation

The following rules must be observed to


ensure stability:
• Only use tyres with equal and permitted
levels of wear on the same axle
• Only use wheels and tyres of the same type
on the same axle, e.g. only superelastic
tyres
• Only use wheels and tyres approved by the
manufacturer
• Only use high-quality products
Wheels and tyres approved by the manu-
facturer can be found on the spare parts list.
If other wheels or tyres are to be used, au-
thorisation from the manufacturer must be
obtained beforehand.
– Contact the authorised service centre on
this matter.
When changing wheels or tyres, always
ensure that this does not cause the truck to
tilt to one side (e.g. always replace right-
hand and left-hand wheels at the same
time). Changes must only be made following
consultation with the manufacturer.
If the type of tyre used on an axle is changed,
for example from superelastic tyres to pneu-
matic tyres, the load diagram must be changed
accordingly.
– Contact the authorised service centre on
this matter.

Medical equipment

WARNING
Electromagnetic interference may occur on medical
devices!
Only use equipment that is sufficiently protected
against electromagnetic interference.

Medical equipment, such as pacemakers or


hearing aids, may not work properly when the
truck is in operation.
– Ask your doctor or the manufacturer of
the medical equipment to confirm that the
medical equipment is sufficiently protected
against electromagnetic interference.

Safety 2
Essentials for safe operation

Exercise caution when handling gas


springs and accumulators

WARNING
Gas springs are under high pressure. Improper
removal results in an elevated risk of injury.
For ease of operation, various functions on the
truck can be supported by gas springs. Gas springs
are complex components that are subject to high
internal pressures (up to 300 bar). They may under
no circumstances be opened unless instructed to
do so, and may be installed only when not under
pressure. If required, the authorised service centre
will depressurise the gas spring in accordance with
the regulations before removal. Gas springs must
be depressurised before recycling.
– Avoid damage, lateral forces, buckling, tempe-
ratures over 80°C and heavy contamination.
– Damaged or defective gas springs must be
changed immediately.
– Contact the authorised service centre.

WARNING
Accumulators are under high pressure. Improper
installation of an accumulator results in an elevated
risk of injury.
Before starting work on the accumulator it must be
depressurised.
– Contact the authorised service centre.

Length of the fork arms

DANGER
Risk of accident due to the incorrect selection of
fork arms!
– The fork arms must match the depth of the load.

If the fork arms are too short, the load may


fall off the arms after it has been picked up.
In addition, be aware that the load centre of
gravity may shift as a result of dynamic forces,
such as braking. A load that is otherwise
resting safely on the fork arms may move
forwards and fall.
If the fork arms are too long, they can catch
on loading units behind the load that is to be

picked up. These other loading units then fall


over when the load is raised.
– For help with selecting the correct fork arms,
contact the authorised service centre.

Residual risk

Residual risk
Residual dangers, residual risks
Despite careful working and compliance with
standards and regulations, the occurrence
of other risks when using the truck cannot be
entirely excluded.
The truck and all other system components
comply with current safety requirements.
Nevertheless, even when the truck is used
for its proper purpose and all instructions
are followed, some residual risk cannot be
excluded.
Even beyond the narrow danger areas of the
truck itself, a residual risk cannot be excluded.
Persons in this area around the truck must
exercise a heightened degree of awareness,
so that they can react immediately in the event
of any malfunction, incident or breakdown etc.
WARNING
All persons that are in the vicinity of the truck
must be instructed regarding these risks that arise
through use of the truck.
In addition, we draw attention to the safety regulati-
ons in these operating instructions.

Risks can include:


• Escape of consumables due to leakages,
rupture of lines and containers etc.
• Risk of accident when driving over difficult
ground such as gradients, smooth or
irregular surfaces, or with poor visibility
etc.
• Falling, tripping etc. when moving on
the truck, especially in wet weather, with
leaking consumables or on icy surfaces
• Fire and explosion risks due to batteries and
electrical voltages
• Human error resulting from failure to
observe the safety regulations,
• Unrepaired damage or defective and worn
components,
• Insufficient maintenance and testing
• Use of incorrect consumables
• Exceeding test intervals

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 35
2 Safety
Residual risk

The manufacturer is not held responsible for


accidents involving the truck caused by the
failure of the operating company to comply
with these regulations either intentionally or
carelessly.

Stability
The stability of the truck has been tested to the
latest technological standards and is guaran-
teed provided that the truck is used properly
and according to its intended purpose. These
standards only take into account the dynamic
and static tipping forces that can arise during
specified use in accordance with the operat-
ing rules and intended purpose. However, the
danger of exceeding the moment of tilt due to
improper use or incorrect operation and losing
stability can never be excluded.
The loss of stability can be avoided or min-
imised by the following actions:
– Always secure the load against slipping,
e.g. by lashing.
– Always transport unstable loads in suitable
containers.
– Always drive slowly when cornering.
– Drive with the load lowered.
– Even with sideshifts, align the load as
centrally as possible with the truck and
transport in this position.
– Avoid turning and diagonally driving across
slopes or gradients.
– Never have the load facing downhill when
travelling on slopes or gradients.
– Pick up only loads of the approved width.
– Always take great care when transporting
suspended loads.
– Do not drive over ramp edges or steps.

Danger to employees
According to the German Ordinance on Indus-
trial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) and labour
protection law (ArbSchG), the operating com-
pany must determine and assess hazards
during operation, and establish the labour
protection measures required for employ-
ees (BetrSichVO). The operating company
must therefore draw up appropriate operating
instructions (§ 6 ArbSchG) and make them
available to the driver. A responsible person
must be appointed.

NOTE
Please observe the definition of the following
responsible persons: "operating company"
and "driver".
The construction and equipment of the
truck correspond to the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and are therefore marked with
CE labelling. These elements are therefore
not included in the hazard assessment. At-
tachments possess their own CE labelling and
likewise are not included for that reason. The
operating company must, however, select the
type and equipment of the trucks so as to com-
ply with the local provisions for deployment.
The result must be documented (§ 6 Arb-
SchG). In the case of truck applications involv-
ing similar hazard situations, the results may
be summarised. This overview (see chapter
"Overview of hazards and countermeasures")
provides help on complying with this regula-
tion. The overview specifies the main hazards
that are the most frequent cause of accidents
in the event of non-compliance. If other major
operational hazards are involved, they must
also be taken into consideration.
The conditions of use for trucks are broadly
similar in many plants, so the hazards can
be summarised in one overview. Observe
the information provided by the relevant
employers' liability insurance association on
this subject.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 41

Safety tests

Safety tests
Regular safety inspection of the truck
Safety inspection based on time and
extraordinary incidents
The operating company must ensure that the
truck is checked by a specialist at least once a
year or after particular incidents.
As part of this inspection, a complete check
of the technical condition of the truck must be
performed with regard to accident safety.
In addition, the truck must be thoroughly
checked for damage that could potentially
have been caused by improper use. A test
log must be created. The results from the
inspection must be retained until a further two
inspections have been carried out.
The inspection date is indicated by an adhe-
sive label on the truck.
– Arrange for the service centre to perform
periodic safety inspections on the truck.
– Observe guidelines for checks carried out
on the truck in accordance with FEM 4.004.
The operator is responsible for ensuring any
defects are remedied without delay.
– Contact your service centre.

Observe the national regulations for your
country!

Insulation testing
The insulation of the truck must have sufficient
insulation resistance. For this reason, insula-
tion testing in accordance with DIN EN 1175
and DIN 43539, VDE 0117 and VDE 0510
must be conducted at least once yearly as part
of the FEM testing.
The insulation testing results must be at least
the test values given in the following two
tables.
– For insulation testing, contact the autho-
rised service centre.

2 Safety
Emissions

Emissions
The values specified apply to a standard truck
(compare the specifications in the "Technical
data" chapter). Different tyres, lift masts,
additional units etc. may produce different
values.

Noise emissions
The values were determined based on
measuring procedures from the standard
EN 12053 "Safety of industrial trucks. Test
methods for measuring noise emissions",
based on EN 12001 and EN ISO 3744 and the
requirements of EN ISO 4871.
This machine emits the following sound
pressure levels:

Continuous sound pressure level in the


driver's compartment
LpAZ
< 70 dB(A)

The values were determined in the test cycle


on an identical machine from the weighted
values for operating statuses and idling.
Time proportions:
• Lifting 18%
• Idling 58%
• Driving 24%
However, the indicated noise levels at the
truck cannot be used to determine the noise
emissions at workplaces according to the most
recent version of Directive 2003/10/EC (daily
personal noise pollution). If required, these
noise emissions must be determined directly
at the workplaces under the actual conditions
present (further sources of noise, particular
application conditions, sound reflections) by
the operating company.

NOTE
Please observe the definition of the following
responsible person: "operating company".

Emissions

Vibrations
The vibrations of the machine have been
determined on an identical machine in ac-
cordance with the standards DIN EN 13059
"Safety of industrial trucks - Test methods
for measuring vibration" and DIN EN 12096
"Mechanical vibration - Declaration and verifi-
cation of vibration emission values".

Tests have indicated that the amplitude of the


hand and arm vibrations on the steering wheel
or the operating devices in trucks is less than
2.5 m/s2. There are therefore no measure-
ment guidelines for these measurements.
The individual vibration load on the driver
over the course of a working day must be
determined by the operating company in
accordance with Directive 2002/44/EC at
the actual place of use in order to consider all
additional influences, such as driving route,
intensity of use etc.

Access authorisation with PIN code


(variant)
Description
Trucks equipped with the "Access authori-
sation with PIN code" variant are protected
against unauthorised use by a five-digit driver
PIN. Up to fifty different driver PINs can be
defined so that the same truck can be used
by different drivers, each with their own driver
PIN.

NOTE
The driver PINs are defined in a truck control
unit menu that can only be accessed by
persons with the corresponding access
authorisation, e.g. fleet managers.
Once the key switch has been switched on,
the input menu for the driver PIN appears
on the display and operating unit screen. All
of the truck's functions (driving, hydraulics,
additional electrical installations and the
display and operating unit displays) are
blocked. The function of the hazard warning
system (variant) is guaranteed. Enter the five-
digit driver PIN (possible entries from 00000 to
99999) to enable the blocked functions. Once
the correct driver PIN has been entered, the
standard displays are shown. All of the truck
functions are available.
The access authorisation can be configured
in such a way that the driver PIN has to be
re-entered each time the driver steps off the
truck, in order for the truck to be operated
again.
– Contact the authorised service centre on
this matter.
The first driver PIN is preset to "11111" at the
factory. All others are preset to "0xFFF" but

have no function as the highest valid driver


PIN is "99999". Persons with the appropriate
access authorisation, e.g. fleet managers, can
change the driver PINs in the corresponding
menu.

NOTE
When first commissioning the truck, we re-
commend you change the access authorisa-
tion set at the factory. This is the only way to
guarantee that the driver PIN is only known to
persons with corresponding access authori-
sation.
The driver PINs are stored in the truck control
unit. These are still available if the display
and operating unit has been changed. The
authorised service centre can use a diagnostic
device to read out the driver PIN and, if
necessary, restore the factory default driver
PIN.

Blue-Q efficiency mode

Blue-Q efficiency mode


Functional description
The Blue-Q efficiency mode affects both the
drive unit and the activation of the additional
consumers, and reduces the truck's energy
consumption.
If the efficiency mode has been activated, the
acceleration behaviour of the truck changes to
make acceleration more moderate.
When travelling at low speeds—normally
when manoeuvring—no reduction is notice-
able despite the activated efficiency mode.
For moderate speeds of at least approx.
7 km/h, acceleration is gentler. Therefore,
on distances of up to approx. 40 m, lower
speeds are reached than would be the case if
the efficiency mode was not activated.
Blue-Q has no influence on:
• Maximum speed
• Climbing capability
• Traction
• Braking characteristics

NOTE
The Blue-Q efficiency mode can be swit-
ched on and off in the STANDARD and FI-
XED-FLEX operating modes. If the FIXED
operating mode is configured in the display
operating unit, the Blue-Q button has no func-
tion and the Blue-Q efficiency mode is swit-
ched on permanently; see also chapter "Con-
figuring Blue-Q efficiency mode".

tional consumers to be switched off. Only one

WARNING
In areas where use of mobile phones is prohibited,
use of a mobile phone or radio telephone is not
permitted.
– Switch off the devices.

Visibility when driving


The driver must look in the drive direction and
have a sufficient view of the driving lane.
Particularly for reverse travel, the driver must
be sure that the driving lane is clear.
When transporting goods that impair visibility,
the driver must drive the truck in reverse.
If this is not possible, a second person acting
as a guide must walk in front of the truck.
In this case the driver must only move at
walking pace and with extra care. The truck
must be stopped immediately if eye contact
with the guide is lost.
Rear-view mirrors are only to be used for
observing the road area behind the truck and
not for reverse travel. If visual aids (mirror,
monitor) are necessary to achieve sufficient
visibility, it is necessary to practise using them.
For reverse travel using visual aids, extra care
should be taken.
When using attachments, special conditions
apply; see the chapter entitled "Fitting attach-
ments".
Any glass (variant, e.g. windscreen) and
mirrors must always be clean and free of ice.

Driveways
Dimensions of roadways and aisle widths
The following dimensions and aisle width
requirements apply under the specified
conditions to ensure safe manoeuvring. In
each case, a check must be performed to
determine whether a larger aisle width is
necessary, e.g. in the case of deviating load
dimensions, attachments, lift masts and tow
couplings.
Within the EU, "Council Directive 89/654/EEC
concerning the minimum safety and health
requirements for the workplace" must be
observed. The respective national guidelines
apply for areas outside the EU.
The required aisle widths depend on the
dimensions of the load.

Driving on gradients
WARNING
Risk of accident due to the drive unit switching off!
Driving up and down longer gradients may cause
the drive unit to overheat and switch off. The truck
will then no longer decelerate when the accelerator
pedal is released and will coast.
Driving up and down longer gradients greater than
15% is not permitted due to the minimum specified
braking values. The climbing capability values
given below only apply to overcoming obstacles on
the roadway and to short differences in level, e.g.
ramps.
– Consult the authorised service centre before
driving on long ascending and descending
gradients greater than 15%.

NOTE
The values specified in the "Maximum clim-
bing capability" table can be used only to com-
pare the performance of forklift trucks in the
same category. The specified values in no
way represent the normal daily operating con-
ditions.
Trucks can theoretically be driven on the
ascending and descending gradients in the
following table.

The ascending and descending gradients


must not exceed the gradients listed above
and must have a rough surface.
Smooth and gradual transitions should be
provided at the top and bottom of the gradient
to prevent the load from falling on the floor or
the truck being damaged.

Warning in the event that components


protrude beyond the truck contour
Trucks are often required to drive through very
narrow or very low spaces such as aisles or
containers. The dimensions of the trucks are
designed for this purpose. However, movable
components may protrude beyond the truck
contour and be damaged or torn off. Such
components include, for example, a folding
roof panel.

Condition of the roadways


Roadways must be sufficiently firm and even.
The surface must be free from contamination
and fallen objects.
Drainage channels, level crossings and
similar obstacles must be evened out and,
if necessary, ramps must be provided so that
trucks can drive over these obstacles with as
few bumps as possible.
Take note of the load capacity of manhole
covers, drain covers etc.
There must be sufficient distance between the
highest points of the truck or the load and the
fixed elements of the surrounding area. The
height is based on the overall height of the lift
mast and the dimensions of the load; see the
chapter entitled "Technical data".

Rules for roadways and the working area


It is only permitted to drive on routes autho-
rised for traffic by the operating company or its
representatives. Traffic routes must be free
of obstacles. The load may only be set down
and stored in the designated locations. The
operating company and its representatives
must ensure that unauthorised third parties do
not enter the working area.

NOTE
Please observe the definition of the following
responsible person: "operating company".

DANGER
Risk of crushing and shearing when driving through
the racks!
The outer contour of the special overhead guard is
narrower than the truck undercarriage. This may
create the impression that the driver is leaning out
of the moving truck unhindered and without danger.
Parts projecting from the racks may protrude into
the contour neck and seriously injure the driver.
– When travelling, arms and legs must remain
within the truck.
– When travelling, do not lean your body outside
the overhead guard contour.

centre.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 131


4 Operation
Driving

Operating the service brake


The electric brake converts the acceleration 1
energy of the truck into electrical energy. This
causes the truck to decelerate.
Electrical braking recovers energy for the
battery. This results in a longer operating time
between charging operations and less wear to
the brakes.
The truck can also be braked with the mechan-
ical brake by actuating the brake pedal (2). In
the first section of the brake pedal's travel, only 2
the electric brake takes effect. As the pedal is
depressed further, the mechanical brake is
also activated and acts on the drive wheels
5060_003-006

DANGER
If the service brake fails, the truck cannot brake
sufficiently. There is a risk of accident!
If the driver notices that the electrical braking effect
has reduced by 50% and that the drive torque has
decreased to 50% of the normal level, a component
failure may have occurred.
– Bring the truck to a standstill using the brakes.
Use the parking brake if necessary to assist in
this process.
– Notify the authorised service centre.
– Do not operate the truck again until the service
brake has been repaired.

DANGER
At speeds that are too high, there is a danger that
the truck could slip or overturn!
The braking distance of the truck depends on the
weather conditions and the level of contamination
on the roadway. Note that the basic braking di-
stance increases with the square of the speed.
– Adapt your driving and braking style to suit the
weather conditions and the level of contamina-
tion on the roadway.
– Always choose a driving speed that will provide
a sufficient stopping distance.

– Brake the truck by releasing the accelerator


pedal (1).
– If the braking effect is inadequate, use
the brake pedal (2) as well to apply the
mechanical brake.

Reducing speed when turning


(Curve Speed Control)
This function reduces the speed of the truck as
the steering angle increases, regardless of the
amount to which the accelerator has been ac-
tuated. If the steering angle is reduced again
upon exiting the curve, the truck accelerates in
line with how far the accelerator is depressed.
However, the function does not release the
driver from the duty to approach a curve at a
speed according to the following factors:
• The carried load
• The roadway conditions
• The radius of the curve
6327_003-006

DANGER
The Curve Speed Control function cannot override
the physical limits of stability. Despite this function,
there still is a risk of tipping!
– Before using this function, familiarise yourself
with the change to the driving and steering
characteristics of the truck.

DANGER
Increased risk of tipping if the Curve Speed Control
function is disabled! If the controller fails while the
truck is in motion or if the controller is disabled,
the truck will no longer automatically brake when
steering.
– Do not turn off the key switch while driving.
– Actuate the emergency stop switch only in
emergencies.
– Always adapt your driving style to the conditions.

Despite the Curve Speed Control function, the


truck may overturn in extreme cases within the
following situations:
• Cornering too fast on uneven or inclined
roadways.
• Turning the steering wheel sharply while
driving.
• Cornering with an inadequately secured

Types of lift mast


One of the following lift masts may be installed
in the truck:

Telescopic mast
During lifting, the lift mast rises over the outer
lift cylinders, bringing the fork carriage with it
via the chains (fork carriage rises twice as fast
1
as the inner lift mast). The top edge (1) of the
inner lift mast can therefore be higher than the
fork carriage.

DANGER
Risk of fatal injury from being run over if the truck
rolls away!
– Do not park the truck on a gradient.
– Apply the parking brake.
– Change the fork arms in a separate, safe location
on a level surface.

WARNING
There is a risk of injury when changing the fork
arms; the weight of the fork arms could cause them
to fall on your legs, feet or knees. The space to the
left and right of the fork is a danger area.
– Always wear protective gloves and safety
footwear when changing the fork arms.
– Ensure that no one stands in the danger area!
– Do not pull on the fork arms.
– The fork arms must always be carried by two
people; if necessary, use a hoist.

NOTE
• For installation and removal, a transport
pallet is recommended for supporting
the fork arms. The pallet size depends
on the fork arm size used and should be
dimensioned such that the fork arms do not
protrude after being placed on the pallet.
This means the fork arms can be safely
placed down and transported.
• Both fork arms can be pushed over to the
same side. It is possible to choose the side
via which the forks are removed

Operation with reversible fork arms


(variant)

DANGER
Risk to life from falling load!
Standard fork arms are not structurally designed for
reverse operation. If this instruction is not observed,
it can lead to material failure and the load falling.
– Only work in reverse operation using reversible
fork arms (1)

WARNING
Risk of accident from slipping load!
Loads may slip on the reversible fork arms if there is
no load support. A fork extension (variant) cannot
be secured against slipping.
– Do not use a fork extension (variant)

WARNING
Risk of accident from the truck tipping over.
When driving, the centre of gravity of the load (2)
must not be higher than 600 mm above the ground.
The truck may tip forwards when driving or braking.
– Only drive with a load centre of gravity up to a
max. of 600 mm above the ground

NOTE
If the truck is equipped with the "load measu-
rement" comfort feature, a "zero adjustment
of the load measurement" must always be
performed after the reversible fork arms have
been changed. Otherwise, correct load mea-
surement cannot be guaranteed.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 153


4 Operation
Lifting

Reversible fork arms (1) can be used to reach


an additional lift height. The reversible fork
arms are installed on the fork carriage in the
same manner as standard fork arms. Loads
may be lifted on and beneath the reversible
fork arms. The mast is lifted and tilted in the
same manner.
– Only work in reverse operation using
reversible fork arms
– Do not use a fork extension (variant)
– If the "load measurement" comfort feature
is available, perform a "zero adjustment of
the load measurement"
– To drive, raise the load centre of gravity (2) 6341_862-001
to a max. of 600 mm above the ground
– Observe the information in the section
entitled "Transporting suspended loads"

Malfunctions during lifting mode


Incorrect extension sequence
DANGER
Risk of accidents!
In the case of Hi-Lo lift masts (variant) and triplex lift
masts (variant), an incorrect extension sequence
may occur, i.e. the inner lift mast may extend
before the free lift is complete. As a result, the
overall height is exceeded and damage may occur
in passageways or from low ceilings.

An incorrect extension sequence may, for


instance, result from:
• The hydraulic oil temperature being too low.
• Blocking of the fork carriage in the inner lift
mast.
• Blocking of the free lift cylinder.
• Blocking of the chain roller on the free lift
cylinder.
– If the hydraulic oil temperature is too low,
slowly actuate the lift mast functions several
times in order to raise the oil temperature.
In the event that the fork carriage is blocked
in the inner lift mast, or the free lift cylinder
or chain roller are blocked, the cause of the

154 55048011501 EN - 02/2018


Operation 4

blockage must be eliminated before resuming


work.
– Notify your service centre

Load chains not under tension


DANGER
Danger caused by a falling load!
– Make sure that the chain(s) does (do) not
become slack when lowering the load.

Slack chains can, for instance, result from:


• Resting the fork carriage or the load on the
racking.
• Fork carriage rollers blocking in the lift mast
due to contamination.
– If the fork carriage or the load comes to an
unexpected stop, lift the fork carriage until
the chains are under tension again and
lower the load at another suitable location.
– If the fork carriage rollers in the lift mast
become blocked due to contamination, lift
the fork carriage until the chains are under
tension again. Remove the contamination
before resuming work.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
– Observe the safety regulations for working on
the lift mast, see the chapter entitled "Working at
the front of the truck".

Hydraulic blocking function


The hydraulic blocking function ensures that
all the functions of the working hydraulics
are disabled whenever the seat switch in the
driver's seat is unloaded.
If the driver stands up from the driver's seat,
the blocking function prevents the hydraulic
functions that:
• Lift the load
• Lower the load
• Tilt the lift mast
• Additional functions

Releasing the block on the hydraulics


Proceed as follows to release the block on the
hydraulics:
– Sit down on the driver's seat.
All the relevant functions of the working
hydraulics will be available again.

NOTE
If it is not possible to release the block on the
hydraulics when the load is raised because
of a technical fault, the load must be lowered
using the "emergency lowering" mechanism
before any further action is taken. Do not
operate the truck again until the fault has been
rectified by the authorised service centre.

Automatic lift cut out (variant)


Description:
The automatic lift cut out (variant) means that
the load cannot be lifted above a preset height.
This function uses a sensor that is welded on
at the factory at the required lift mast limit
height. Once attached, the height cannot be
easily changed.

Application:
• If the ceiling of the building is lower than
the maximum lift height of the truck, this
variant can prevent the lift mast from
accidentally hitting the ceiling, which can
result in damage.
• If the truck is frequently used at a particular
height, the work is simplified by the auto-
matic lift cut out at this height.

NOTE
If a load is lifted very quickly, the fork carriage
and load are moved approximately 15 cm
above the position of the sensor due to
inertia. This deviation is already taken into
consideration at the factory when determining
the position of the sensor.

Lift mast vertical position (variant)


Description
If the truck is equipped with the "lift mast
vertical position" comfort feature (variant),
the driver can put down goods, such as paper
rolls, vertically with precision and thus avoid
damage when unloading. The tilt cylinders
run into the end stops gently to prevent hard
vibrations and impacts. Oscillating motions of
the truck are minimised, thus increasing work
safety. The lift mast vertical position reduces
wear on various components and therefore
reduces maintenance costs.

Clamp locking mechanism (variant)


This truck can be fitted with a clamp locking
mechanism as a variant. This prevents the
clamp from opening unintentionally if the
operating function is inadvertently triggered.
DANGER
There is a risk of fatal injury from falling loads if the
correct function of the clamp locking mechanism is
not guaranteed!
If other attachments are used on this truck in addi-
tion to the clamp, make sure that the clamp locking
mechanism function is reassigned to the corre-
sponding operating device every time the clamp is
reassembled; see the chapter entitled "Fitting at-
tachments".
– Make sure that the additional clamp locking
mechanism function is available.

STILL SafetyLight (variant)

WARNING
Danger of damage to eyes from
looking into the STILL SafetyLight.
Do not look into the STILL SafetyLight.

The STILL SafetyLight is a visual warning unit


designed to enable early detection of trucks
in driving areas with low visibility (such as
drive lanes, high racks), as well as at blind
junctions. The STILL SafetyLight is mounted
on a support on the overhead guard such
that it is not affected by jolts and vibrations.
The STILL SafetyLight projects one or more
light-blue light spots in front of or behind
the truck and thus warns others about the
approaching truck. Several light spots are
projected as a chase light. The chase light
indicates the location of the truck with its
direction of travel.
Depending on the configuration of the truck,
the STILL SafetyLight automatically switches
itself on when the truck is moving. The
STILL SafetyLight can also be switched on
and off on the display-operating unit.

Ceiling sensor (variant)


Description
The ceiling sensor (1) on the overhead guard
is an assistance system that automatically
reduces the driving speed of the truck within 1
halls. However, this assistance system does
not release the driver from the responsibility
of observing the speed limits on company
premises.
Depending on the system setting, the ceiling
sensor can detect overhead structures above
the truck at a height of 2 m to 24 m above the
sensor.

Operating the ceiling sensor system


The drivers are to be instructed on the use
of the ceiling sensor system by the operating
company.
When the driver enters a hall for the first
time after starting work, he must be certain
that the ceiling sensor system is functioning
correctly. Despite the ceiling sensor system
being installed, the driver must also check the
speed indicator on the display-operating unit
on a regular basis to ensure that he does not
exceed the maximum speed permitted for the
environment.

224 55048011501 EN - 02/2018


Operation 4
Auxiliary equipment

• Entering a hall
The ceiling detector system automatically
detects whether the truck enters a hall. The
system then automatically slows the truck to
the maximum speed that is set for the hall.
• Leaving a hall
If the truck leaves the hall again, the ceiling
detector system enables the maximum
speed set for areas outside the hall. Due
to the range of the sensor, this may not
happen until the truck is a few metres away
from the hall exit. Before the truck is able to
accelerate to the maximum speed permitted
for outdoor areas, the speed limitation must
still be unlocked. To do this, release the
accelerator briefly and then operate the
accelerator again.
• Switching on the truck in a hall
If the truck is switched on inside a hall, the
ceiling detector system detects the hall
ceiling and reduces the driving speed to the
maximum speed that is set for halls.

Possible limitations for object recognition


• If the truck moves under larger overhead
structures outdoors, e.g. a pedestrian
bridge, the ceiling sensor system may
interpret this overhead structure to be a hall
ceiling and reduce the maximum speed.
• In rare cases, it may occur that the ceiling
sensor system does not recognize a ceiling
and does not then reduce the speed. This
can happen if the signals from the ceiling
sensor are insufficiently reflected due to the
ceiling geometry; for example, if there are
large window areas at a 45° angle.
In these cases, the sensitivity and the range of
the ceiling sensor system must be adjusted.
For more information, refer to the next chapter.

Changing the sensor settings

Trailer operation

Trailer operation
Towed load

DANGER
There is an increased risk of accident when using a
trailer.
Using a trailer changes the truck handling charac-
teristics. When towing, operate the truck such that
the trailer train can be safely driven and braked at
all times. The maximum permissible speed when
towing is 5 km/h.
– Do not exceed the permissible speed of 5 km/h.
– Do not couple the truck in front of rail vehicles.
– The truck must not be used to push any kind of
trolley.
– It must be possible to drive and brake at all times.
6210_313-001

CAUTION
Risk of damage to components!
The maximum towed load for occasional towing
is the rated capacity specified on the nameplate.
Overloading can lead to component damage on the
truck. The sum of the actual towed load and the
actual load on the fork must not exceed the rated
capacity. If the existing towed load corresponds
to the rated capacity of the truck, no load may be
transported on the fork at the same time. The load
can be distributed between the fork and the trailer.
– Check the load distribution and adjust it to
correspond to the rated capacity.
– Observe the permissible rigidity value of the tow
coupling.

CAUTION
Risk of damage to components!
The maximum towed load only applies when towing
unbraked trailers on a level surface (maximum
deviation +/- 1%) and on firm ground. The towed
load must be reduced if towing on gradients. If
necessary, notify the authorised service centre of
the application conditions. The service centre will
provide the required data.
– Inform the authorised service centre.

WARNING
Never reach between the coupling pins and the
towing jaws. If the component moves suddenly
there is a risk of injury!
– To release the coupling pin, actuate the corre-
sponding lever or use a suitable device (e.g.
assembly lever).
– When not in use, close the automatic tow
coupling.

WARNING
Risk of damage due to component collision.
A truck with tow coupling needs more room for
manoeuvring due to its overhang. The tow coupling
can damage the racking or the tow coupling itself
when manoeuvring. If there is a collision with the
tow coupling, check the tow coupling for damage
such as cracks. A damaged tow coupling must not
be used again.
– Always manoeuvre carefully and with sufficient
room.
– In the case of a collision, check the tow coupling
for damage.
– Replace tow coupling if damaged, if necessary
contact the authorised service centre.

WARNING
Risk of damage to the tow bar eye or tiller!
Due to the truck's rear wheel steering, the side
slewing angle of the tiller may not be adequate. The
coupling or the tiller may be damaged! The tow bar
eye of the tiller must fit the tow coupling in terms of
shape and size.
– Ensure that the tow bar eye and tiller fit correctly.
– Avoid sharp cornering.
– Exercise care when travelling and manoeuvring
in reverse.

234 55048011501 EN - 02/2018


Operation 4

WARNING
Risk of component damage if the tiller in the tow
coupling is tilted!
The tiller should be kept as horizontal as possible
when towing. This ensures that the rotation range
is sufficient at the top and bottom. The authorised
service centre can adjust the assembly height for
the tow coupling to the tiller height if necessary.

– Make sure that the tiller is level.


– To change the coupling height, contact the
authorised service centre.

NOTE
When manoeuvring in restricted areas, take
into account the projection of the coupling.

Coupling the trailer

– Drivers who are towing a trailer for the first


time must practise driving with a trailer in a
suitable area.
– When passing through narrow road areas
(entrances, gates etc.), observe the dimen-
sions of the trailer and load.
– When towing multiple trailers, ensure
a sufficient minimum distance to fixed
installations when turning and cornering.
The permissible length of the trailer trains
depends on the roadways to be driven and
may need to be determined during the test
drive.
It is the responsibility of the operating com-
pany to instruct the drivers regarding the
permissible number of trailers and, where
required, any additional speed reductions on
individual sections of the route.

NOTE
Please observe the definition of the following
responsible persons: "operating company"
and "driver".

4 Operation
Cold store application

Cold store application


The truck features cold store equipment
(variant), making it suitable for use in cold
stores.
It is equipped for two different types of applica-
tion and marked with the cold store symbol.
Cold store-compatible oils (for hydraulics and
the gearbox) and greases (for moving parts,
gearing and chains) are used with the cold
store equipment.

Types of application
There are two different types of cold store
application for the truck, distinguished by two 6210_900-002

different temperature ranges.


Type of application
1 Constant deployment in temperature
range -5°C, brief deployment down to
-10°C.
2 Alternating between indoor use down to
-32°C and outdoor use to +25°C, briefly
up to +40°C.
Use hydraulic oil that is suitable for use
in cold stores in accordance with the
"maintenance data table".

Operation
CAUTION
Changing from a cold internal temperature to
a warm outside temperature may result in the
formation of condensation water. This water may
freeze on re-entry to the cold store, blocking moving
parts of the truck.
It is essential that close attention is paid to the
duration of deployment in the different temperature
ranges for both types of application.
Before being used in the cold store, the truck must
be dry and warmed up.
The truck must not leave the cold store area for
more than 10 minutes. By adhering to this rule,
condensation water will not have time to form.
If the truck stays outside for more than 10 minutes,
it must remain there at least until the condensation
water has drained off and the truck has dried off.
Depending on the weather, this will take at least
30 minutes.

238 55048011501 EN - 02/2018


Operation 4
Cold store application

WARNING
Risk of injury!
If condensation water freezes in the cold store, do
not try to free parts that have become stuck with
your hands.

– Drive the truck for approximately 5 minutes


and operate the brake several times to
ensure operational safety.
– Actuate all of the mast's lifting functions
several times.
This warm-up phase is necessary to ensure
that the oil reaches the operating temperature.
– Always park the truck outside the cold store.
CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
Batteries should not be left in the cold store over-
night without power uptake or charging.

– Charge the battery outside the cold store


and operate the truck using a replacement
battery.

Using batteries in the cold store


To compensate for the reduction in capacity
at low temperatures, it is advisable to use
batteries with the maximum nominal capacity
in the respective battery dimensions for the
range.
Electric forklift trucks must not be parked in a
cold area for any longer than necessary. This
also applies to unused batteries. The charging
station and the parking area for trucks and
batteries must be at normal room temperature
(not below 10°C). Charging is extremely slow
at low temperatures. At temperatures below
10°C, the battery cannot be fully charged with
the usual charging parameters.
– Charge the battery fully before each shift.
– During the gassing phase, always top up
with distilled water.
The distilled water will mix with the battery acid
so that it does not freeze.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 239


4 Operation
Cold store application

Water top-up systems must not be used at


temperatures below 0°C, as this could cause
the systems and the water present in the hose
lines to freeze.
The battery voltage when discharged is
generally lower at low temperatures, and the
final discharged voltage is reached earlier, i.e.
the capacity of the battery is lower.

– After the emergency lowering procedure, have
the malfunction rectified.
– Notify the authorised service centre.

Towing

DANGER
The brake system on the towing vehicle may fail.
There is a risk of accident!
If the towing vehicle's brake system is not of the
correct size, the vehicle cannot be braked securely
or the brakes may fail. The towing vehicle must be
able to absorb the pulling and braking forces from
the unbraked towed load (total actual weight of the
truck).
– Check the pulling and braking force of the towing
vehicle.

DANGER
The truck could drive into the towing vehicle when 620-aB6306
5060_003-070

the towing vehicle brakes. There is a risk of acci-


dent!
If a rigid connection has not been used during
towing for the power transmission in two directions,
the truck may drive into the towing vehicle when the
towing vehicle brakes. For safety reasons, only a
tested tow bar may be used.
– Use a tested tow bar.

– Set down load and lower fork arms close to


the ground.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 259

Behaviour in emergencies

CAUTION
If the truck drive between the drive motor and
the drive axle is not interrupted, the drive may be
damaged.
– Place the drive direction switch in the neutral
position.

CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
If you remove the battery male connector while
the key switch is switched on (under load), an arc
will be produced. This can lead to corrosion at the
contacts, which considerably shortens their service
life.
– Do not disconnect the battery male connector
while the key switch is switched on.

DANGER
People can be crushed between the truck and
towing vehicle during manoeuvring. There is a risk
to life!
The towing vehicle may only be manoeuvred and
the tow bar may only be attached using a second
person as a guide. This ensures that the driver of
the towing vehicle and the mechanic attaching the
tow bar are aware of possible risks.
– Only manoeuvre with a guide.

CAUTION
Steering is stiff! There is no power steering if the
hydraulics fail!
– The selected towing speed must allow braking
and control of the truck and towing vehicle at all
times.

CAUTION
If the truck is not steered while it is being towed, it
may veer out in an uncontrolled manner!
– The truck being towed must also be steered by a
driver.
– The driver of the truck being towed must sit in
the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt before
towing.
– Where possible, activate the restraint systems
provided.

– Set down the load and lower fork arms close

times.
– Tilt the lift mast forwards and backwards
several times and, if fitted, move the attach-
ment repeatedly.

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 311


4 Operation
Decommissioning

– To relieve the strain on the load chains,


lower the fork onto a suitable supporting
surface, e.g. a pallet.
– Check the hydraulic oil level. Top the oil up
if necessary.
– Apply a thin layer of oil or grease to all
uncoated moving parts.
– Lubricate the truck.
– Lubricate the joints and controls.
CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
If you remove the battery male connector when the
key switch is switched on (under load), an arc will be
produced. This can lead to erosion at the contacts,
which considerably shortens their service life.
– Switch off the key switch before disconnecting
the battery male connector.
– Do not disconnect the battery male connector
while the key switch is switched on, except in an
emergency.

– Disconnect the battery male connector.


– Check the battery condition, acid level and
acid density.
– Service the battery.

NOTE
Store only fully charged batteries.
– Apply a suitable contact spray to all exposed
electrical contacts.
CAUTION
Tyre deformation as a result of continuous loading
on one side!
Have the truck raised and jacked up by the autho-
rised service centre so that all wheels are off the
ground. This prevents permanent deformation of
the tyres.
– Only have the truck raised and jacked up by the
authorised service centre.

312 55048011501 EN - 02/2018


Operation 4
Decommissioning

CAUTION
Risk of damage from corrosion due to condensation
on the truck!
Many plastic films and synthetic materials are
watertight. Condensation water on the truck cannot
escape through these covers.
– Do not use plastic film as this facilitates the
formation of condensation water.
– Cover with vapour-permeable material, e.g.
cotton.

– Cover the truck to protect it from dust.


– If the truck is to be shut down for even
longer periods, contact the authorised
service centre to find out about additional
measures.

Returning to service after decommis-


sioning
If the truck has been decommissioned for
longer than six months, it must be carefully
checked before being re-commissioned. As
with the annual safety inspection, this check
should also include all safety-related aspects
of the truck.
– Clean the truck thoroughly; see the chapter
entitled "Cleaning the truck".
– Lubricate the joints and controls.
– Check the battery condition, acid level and
acid density.
– Check the hydraulic oil for condensation
water. Change the hydraulic oil if neces-
sary.
– Change the brake fluid.
– Carry out the checks and tasks that are to be
performed before the first commissioning.
– Perform the "visual inspections and function
checking".

55048011501 EN - 02/2018 313

Safety regulations for maintenance


General information
To prevent accidents during maintenance and
repair work, all necessary safety measures
must be taken, e.g.:
– Apply the parking brake.
– Turn off the key switch and remove the key.
– Disconnect the battery male connector.
– Ensure that the truck cannot move uninten-
tionally or start up inadvertently.
– If required, have the truck jacked up by the
authorised service centre.
– Have the raised fork carriage or the ex-
tended lift mast secured against accidental
lowering by the authorised service centre.
– Insert an appropriately sized wooden beam
as an abutment between the lift mast and
the cab, and secure the lift mast to prevent
it tilting backwards unintentionally.
– Observe the maximum lift height of the lift
mast, and compare the dimensions from
the technical data with the dimensions of
the hall into which the truck is to be driven.
These steps are taken to prevent a collision
with the ceiling of the hall and to avoid any
damage caused as a result.

Working on the hydraulic equipment


The hydraulic system must be depressurised
prior to all work on the system.

Working on the electrical equipment


Work may only be performed on the electrical
equipment of the truck when it is in a voltage-
free state. Function checks, inspections
and adjustments on energised parts must
only be performed by trained and authorised
persons, taking the necessary precautions
into account. Rings, metal bracelets etc.
must be removed before working on electric
components.

WARNING
Danger of impact injuries to the head!
If the head of the operator is located too close to the
underside of the roof, the suspension of the driver's
seat or an accident may cause the head to strike the
overhead guard.
To avoid head injuries, a minimum distance of
40 mm must be ensured between the underside of
the roof and the head of the tallest operator.
To determine the actual head clearance, the opera-
tor must sit in the driver's seat and the seat suspen-
sion must be set to this driver's requirements.
Due to the individual nature of height and body
weight as well as the wide variety of types of driver's
seat and overhead guard, the minimum head 0000_003-002

clearance must be ensured in every truck.

The driver's compartment has been designed


taking ergonomics in the workplace into
account and in accordance with EN ISO 3411.
In general, from the seat position, the operator
has sufficient space to reach the operating
devices safely, to operate the truck and to view
the outline of the truck. Operators whose body
size deviates from the specified dimensions
on which EN ISO 3411 is based must be
individually considered by the operating
company.
