Always carry out daily service before the truck is used, see
chapter 'DLO\VHUYLFHDQGIXQFWLRQFKHFNV. The working order of
all safety equipment, guards and safety switches should be
checked before you use the truck. Such safety equipment must
not be disengaged or removed.
• Check to make sure that all warning and machine designation
plates are clean and undamaged.
The battery must be secured in its intended compartment. The
battery shall have a weight that corresponds with the information
stated on the truck’s identification plate.
The truck must not be used if it is damaged or has faults that
affect safety or its safe use. The truck may not be used if it has
been repaired, modified or adjusted unless it has been checked
and approved by personnel authorised by BT.
2SHUDWLQJWKHWUXFN
The truck is designed and produced to be your tool when collect-
ing and depositing goods at different heights.
If the truck is to be used in cold storage rooms the truck must be
especially built for this type of use.
It is QRWSHUPLWWHG to use the truck for purposes that it has not
been designed and produced for, e.g. the following applications:
- In areas where the atmosphere contains dust or gases
that can cause fires or explosions.
- As a towing truck for trailers.
- To tow other trucks.
- To transport/lift passengers.
2SHUDWRU¶VUHVSRQVLELOLW\
• The truck shall only be driven by personnel that have been
specially trained and have the management’s permission to
drive the truck.
• Each country (state) has its own safety regulations. It is the
operator’s obligation to know and follow these.This also
applies to local regulations and for different types of handling.
If the recommendations in this manual deviate from your
national regulations, the local safety regulations should be
followed.
• The truck should be insured in accordance with local direc-
tives and laws where the truck is used.
7
6DIHW\UHJXODWLRQV
• Any accidents that have caused personal injury or damage to

buildings or equipment must be reported to the supervisor.
Incidents and faults on the truck shall also be reported.
• The truck shall only be driven with care, good judgement and
in a responsible manner.
• Local regulations regarding personal safety equipment shall
be followed.
• The truck should QRW be driven with oily hands or oily shoes
due to the risk of slipping.
:RUNLQJDUHD
• If there are marked truck routes these shall be used.
• The truck should only be driven on hard and even surfaces,
e.g. concrete or asphalt.
• Ensure that the floor where the truck is to be used has suffi-
cient load bearing capacity for the WRWDOZHLJKWof the truck
including the maximum load and the weight of the operator.
• Take special care if there are protruding parts from racks,
shelves or walls that can cause personal injury or damage to
the truck.
• It is IRUELGGHQ for persons to be present in the area around
the truck when there is a risk of personal injury, e.g. areas
that can be reached by falling goods, lowering load handling
devices or in the truck’s manoeuvring area.
'ULYLQJDQGFRQGXFWZKLOHGULYLQJ
• Always drive the truck in a responsible manner and with full
control. Sudden starts and braking as well as cornering at
high speed should be avoided.
• Drive at a reduced speed on inclines. Always drive with the

load downwards on the incline. Drive the truck straight up and
down on inclines. It is QRWpermitted to turn the truck on an
incline.
• Reduce the speed if the surface is slippery to prevent the
truck from sliding or overturning.
• Always drive with the forks fully lowered except when collect-
ing or leaving a load.
• Adapt your speed to suit the driving conditions, and where
there are pedestrians or other trucks in the working area.
Reduce speed when the line of vision is limited and when
pedestrians or other vehicles can be encountered.
• Pay particular attention to other personnel as well as fixed
and moving objects within the working area and thereby avoid
accidents.
8
6DIHW\UHJXODWLRQV
• Always be prepared to stop if other personnel are in the work-

ing area.
• Keep a safe distance from all vehicles ahead.
• Always keep a safe distance from the edges of loading bays
and loading ramps. Be attentive to marked risk areas.
• Sound the horn when overtaking and when the attention of
other personnel is required.
• Always give way to a loaded truck at junctions and in confined
aisles.
• 1HYHU allow passengers to ride on the truck.
• Before the truck is driven on to a loading ramp ensure that the
ramp is correctly secured and has the necessary load bearing
capacity. Drive slowly and carefully across the ramp.
• When the truck is driven on to another vehicle, make sure the

vehicle is stable and that the brakes have been applied cor-
rectly.
• Before you drive the truck into a lift, ensure that the lift is
approved for the total weight of the truck, the load and the
operator. Enter with the load first. No other personnel should
be in the lift.
• When the load impairs the line of vision, always drive with the
load to the rear.
• If necessary, when the operator’s vision is impaired, ask
someone to direct operations so that transportation can take
place without the risk of causing personal injury or material
damage.
+DQGOLQJORDGV
• Drive with care when collecting or depositing a load.
• Only drive with the forks raised when manoeuvring to collect
or deposit a load. Keep a safe distance from persons in the
immediate area.
• Only handle loads that are within the truck’s permitted lifting
capacity. The length/width of the forks should be adapted to
the load’s shape and dimensions.
• Only handle loads that are stable and arranged in a safe
manner.
• Particular care should be exercised when handling long and
high loads.
• Ensure the truck is equipped with an appropriate load support
when handling high loads.

The truck is a battery-powered support arm truck. In its standard
design the truck is equipped with a tiller arm for control while
walking.
The tiller arm is specially designed to provide the best possible
operator ergonomy, having all the controls and buttons within
easy reach without the operator needing to release the handle.
The tiller arm is also equipped with a display showing running
time and battery status among other things. The display is also
used when the operator wishes to change any of the operator
parameters with which the truck can be programmed.
S 12F has a maximum lifting capacity of 1200 kg on the forks.
The truck has a 24V electrical system and the speed is regulated
by means of a transistor controller to provide gentle control of
acceleration and speed while driving.
The truck has liftable support arms that facilitate the truckÕs
driving characteristics on uneven surfaces and over thresholds.
When the forks are fully lowered on the support arms you can
use the support arm lift to raise a load of max. 1600 kg.
The forks are raised by means of a powerful hydraulic unit. The
lift is electrically controlled using the buttons on the tiller arm.
Control of the lowering speed and positioning of the forks when
stacking is performed using the truck's mechanical hydraulic
valves.
The truck can be equipped with different accessories such as
ride-on platform, integrated charger, load support and a button
for temporary speed reduction. The truck can also be fitted with
low temperature oil if it is to be used in cool and humid condi-
tions.
Note that some of the truck models described in the Operator’s
Manual may not be marketed in your country.
,QWHQGHGDSSOLFDWLRQRIWKHWUXFN
The truck is solely designed and manufactured to handle goods.
The trucks should be fitted with the appropriate accessories rele-

- As a tow-truck for trailers
- To tow other trucks
- To transport/lift passengers
