Introduction 2Residual risk

Residual riskResidual dangers, residual risksDespite careful working and compliance withstandards and regulations, the occurrenceof other risks when using the truck cannot beentirely excluded.

The truck and all other system componentscomply with current safety requirements.Nevertheless, even when the truck is usedfor its proper purpose and all instructionsare followed, some residual risk cannot beexcluded.

Even beyond the narrow danger areas of thetruck itself, a residual risk cannot be excluded.Persons in this area around the truck mustexercise a heightened degree of awareness,so that they can react immediately in the eventof any malfunction, incident or breakdown etc.

WARNING

All persons that are in the vicinity of the truckmust be instructed regarding these risks that arisethrough use of the truck.In addition, we draw attention to the safety regulati-ons in these operating instructions.

The risks can include:• Escape of consumables due to leakages,rupture of lines and containers etc.

• Risk of accident when driving over difficultground such as gradients, smooth orirregular surfaces, or with poor visibilityetc.

• Falling, tripping etc. when moving onthe truck, especially in wet weather, withleaking consumables or on icy surfaces

• Fire and explosion risks due to batteries andelectrical voltages

• Human error resulting from failure toobserve the safety regulations,

• Unrepaired damage or defective and worncomponents,

• Insufficient maintenance and testing• Use of incorrect consumables• Exceeding test intervals

2 IntroductionResidual risk

The manufacturer is not held responsible foraccidents involving the truck caused by thefailure of the operating company to complywith these regulations either intentionally orcarelessly.

StabilityThe stability of the truck has been tested to thelatest technological standards and is guaran-teed provided that the truck is used properlyand according to its intended purpose. Thesestandards only take into account the dynamicand static tipping forces that can arise duringspecified use in accordance with the operat-ing rules and intended purpose. However, thedanger of exceeding the moment of tilt due toimproper use or incorrect operation and losingstability 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 suitablecontainers.

– Always drive slowly when cornering.

– Drive with the load lowered.

– Even with sideshifts, align the load ascentrally as possible with the truck andtransport in this position.

– Avoid turning and diagonally driving acrossslopes or gradients.

– Never have the load facing downhill whentravelling on slopes or gradients.

– Pick up only loads of the approved width.

– Always take great care when transportingswinging loads.

– Do not drive over ramp edges or steps.

Danger to employeesAccording to the GermanOrdinance on Indus-trial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) and labourprotection law (ArbSchG), the operating com-pany must determine and assess hazardsduring operation, and establish the labourprotection measures required for employ-ees (BetrSichVO). The operating companymust therefore draw up appropriate operatinginstructions (§ 6 ArbSchG) and make themavailable to the driver. A responsible personmust be appointed.

NOTE

Please observe the definition of the followingresponsible persons: "operating company"and "driver".

The construction and equipment of thetruck correspond to the Machinery Directive2006/42/EC and are therefore marked withCE labelling. These elements are thereforenot included in the hazard assessment. At-tachments possess their own CE labelling andlikewise are not included for that reason. Theoperating company must, however, select thetype 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 maybe summarised. This overview (see chapter"Overview of hazards and countermeasures")provides help on complying with this regula-tion. The overview specifies the main hazardsthat are the most frequent cause of accidentsin the event of non-compliance. If other major

3 SafetyEssentials for safe operation

DANGER

Risk of injury if truck tips over!Even when using an approvedrestraint system, there is someresidual risk that the driver mightbe injured if the truck tips over. Thisrisk of injury can be reduced throughthe combined use of a restraintsystem and the seat belt. In addition,the seat belt protects against theconsequences of rear-end collisionsand falling off a ramp.– Use the seat belt too.

When carrying out welding work on thetruck, it is essential that the battery and allconnections to the electronic control cards aredisconnected. Contact the authorised servicecentre on this matter.

DANGER

Risk of explosion from additionalholes in the battery hood!Explosive gases can escape andlead to potentially fatal injuries if theyexplode. Sealing holes with plugsis not sufficient to prevent gas fromescaping.– Do not drill any holes in the batteryhood.

DANGER

Risk of accident from additional holes in the batteryhood!The rigidity of the battery hood is impaired andthe battery hood may fracture. The driver’s seatmay collapse, leading to a risk of accident due touncontrolled steering movements whilst driving.– Do not drill any holes in the battery hood.

Safety 3Essentials 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 hemay be struckby a load falling from a lift height of 1800 mm orgreater.Operation of the truck without an overhead guard ata 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 intoliquidation and the company not being takenover by another legal person, the operatingcompany can make changes to the truck.

To do so, the operating company must fulfilthe following prerequisites:

Construction documents, test documentsand assembly instructions associated withthe change must be archived and remainaccessible at all times.

Check that the capacity rating plate, decal in-formation, hazard warnings and the operatinginstructions are consistent with regard to thechanges and modify if necessary.

The change must be designed, checkedand implemented by a design office thatspecialises in industrial trucks in accordancewith the standards and directives valid at thetime the changes are made.

Decal information with the following data mustbe permanently affixed to the truck so it isclearly visible:

– Type of change

3 SafetyEssentials for safe operation

Changes to the overhead guard androof loads

DANGER

In the event of the overhead guard failing due toa falling load or the truck tipping over, there arepotentially fatal consequences for the driver. Thereis a risk to life!Welding and drilling on the overhead guard chan-ges the material characteristics and the structuraldesign of the overhead guard. Excessive forcescaused by falling loads or the truck tipping overmayresult in buckling of the modified overhead guardand 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 atall times, a roof load may only be mounted on theoverhead guard if the structural design has beentested and themanufacturer has given approval.– Seek advice from the authorised service centre

for the mounting of roof loads.

Warning regarding non-original partsOriginal parts, attachments and accessoriesare specially designed for this truck. Wespecifically draw your attention to the fact thatparts, attachments and accessories suppliedby other companies have not been tested andapproved by STILL.

Safety 3Emissions

EmissionsThe values specified apply to a standard truck(compare the specifications in the "Technicaldata" chapter). Different tyres, lift masts,additional units etc. may produce differentvalues.

Noise emissionsThe values were determined based onmeasuring procedures from the standardEN 12053 "Safety of industrial trucks. Testmethods for measuring noise emissions",based on EN 12001 and EN ISO 3744 and therequirements of EN ISO 4871.

This machine emits the following soundpressure levels:

Continuous sound pressure level in thedriver’s compartment

LpAZ

< 70 dB(A)

The values were determined in the test cycleon an identical machine from the weightedvalues for operating statuses and idling.

Time proportions:• Lifting 18%• Idling 58%• Driving 24%

However, the indicated noise levels at thetruck cannot be used to determine the noiseemissions atworkplacesaccording to themostrecent version of Directive 2003/10/EC (dailypersonal noise pollution). If required, thesenoise emissions must be determined directlyat the workplaces under the actual conditionspresent (further sources of noise, particularapplication conditions, sound reflections) bythe operating company.

3 SafetyEmissions

VibrationsThe vibrations of the machine have beendetermined on an identical machine in ac-cordance with the standards DIN EN 13059"Safety of industrial trucks - Test methodsfor measuring vibration" and DIN EN 12096"Mechanical vibration - Declaration and verifi-cation of vibration emission values".

Frequency-weighted effective value of accel-eration on the seat

MSG 65 driver’s seatMeasurementuncertainty

0.68 m/s2 0.204 m/s2

Tests have indicated that the amplitude of thehand and arm vibrations on the steering wheelor the operating devices in trucks is less than2.5 m/s2. There are therefore no measure-ment guidelines for these measurements.

The individual vibration load on the driverover the course of a working day must bedetermined by the operating company inaccordance with Directive 2002/44/EC atthe actual place of use in order to consider alladditional influences, such as driving route,intensity of use etc.

Access authorisation with PIN code(variant)

DescriptionTrucks equipped with the "Access authori-sation with PIN code" variant are protectedagainst unauthorised use by a five-digit driverPIN. Up to fifty different driver PINs can bedefined so that the same truck can be usedby different drivers, each with their own driverPIN.

NOTE

The driver PINs are defined in a truck controlunit menu that can only be accessed bypersons with the corresponding accessauthorisation, e.g. fleet managers.

Once the key switch has been switched on,the input menu for the driver PIN appearson the display and operating unit screen. Allof the truck’s functions (driving, hydraulics,additional electrical installations and thedisplay and operating unit displays) areblocked. The function of the hazard warningsystem (variant) is guaranteed. Enter the five-digit driver PIN (possible entries from 00000 to99999) to enable the blocked functions. Oncethe correct driver PIN has been entered, thestandard displays are shown. All of the truckfunctions are available.

The access authorisation can be configuredin such a way that the driver PIN has to bere-entered each time the driver steps off thetruck, in order for the truck to be operatedagain.

– Contact the authorised service centre onthis matter.

DrivingSafety regulations when driving

Driving conductThe driver must comply with the highway codewhen driving within the plant.

The speed must be appropriate to the localconditions.

For example, the driver must drive slowlyaround corners, in tight passageways, whendriving through swing-doors, at blind spots, oron uneven roadways.

The driver must always maintain a safebraking distance from vehicles and persons infront, and must always have the truck undercontrol. He must avoid stopping suddenly,turning at speed and overtaking in dangerousplaces or in blind spots.

– Initial driving practice must be carried out inan empty space or on a clear roadway.

The following are forbidden during driving:• Allowing arms and legs to hang outside thetruck

• Leaning the body over the outer contour ofthe truck

• Climbing out of the truck• Moving the driver’s seat• Releasing the seat belt• Disabling the restraint system• Raising the load higher than 300 mmabove the ground (with the exceptionof manoeuvring processes during theplacement into stock/removal from stockof loads)

• Using electronic devices, for exampleradios, mobile phones etc.

Operation 5Driving

WARNING

The use of multimedia and communication equip-ment as well as playing these devices at an exces-sive volume during travel or when handling loadscan affect the operator’s attention. There is a risk ofaccident!– Do not use devices during travel or when hand-

ling loads.– Set the volume so that warning signals can still

be heard.

WARNING

In areas where use of mobile phones is prohibited,use of a mobile phone or radio telephone is notpermitted.– Switch off the devices.

Visibility when drivingThe driver must look in the drive direction andhave a sufficient view of the driving lane.

Particularly for reverse travel, the driver mustbe 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 actingas a guide must walk in front of the truck.

In this case the driver must only move atwalking pace and with extra care. The truckmust be stopped immediately if eye contactwith the guide is lost.

Rear-view mirrors are only to be used forobserving the road area behind the truck andnot for reverse travel. If visual aids (mirror,monitor) are necessary to achieve sufficientvisibility, it is necessary to practise using them.For reverse travel using visual aids, extra careshould be taken.

When using attachments, special conditionsapply; see the chapter entitled "Fitting attach-ments".

Any glass (variant, e.g. windscreen) andmirrors must always be clean and free of ice.

Driveways

Dimensions of the driveways and aislewidthsThe following dimensions and aisle widthrequirements apply under the specified con-ditions to ensure safe manoeuvring. In eachcase, it should be checked whether a largeraisle width is necessary, e.g. with deviatingload dimensions. Within the EU, there mustbe compliance with the 89/654/EEC directive(minimum safety and health requirementsfor the workplace). The respective nationalguidelines apply for the areas outside of theEU.

The required aisle widths depend on thedimensions of the load.

For pallets, these are:

Driving on gradients

WARNING

Driving up and down long gradients may cause thedrive unit to overheat and switch off.It is not permitted to drive up and down long gra-dients due to the minimum specified braking va-lues. The climbing capability values given belowonly apply to overcoming obstacles on the roadwayand to short differences in level, e.g. ramps.

The upwards and downwards slopes may notexceed the gradient listed above and shouldhave a rough surface.

Smooth and gradual transitions should beprovided at the top and bottom of the gradientto prevent the load from falling on the floor orthe truck being damaged.

Warning in case components projectbeyond the truck contour

Trucks are often required to drive throughvery narrow or very low spaces such as aislesor containers. The trucks are dimensionedfor this purpose. However, movable partsmay project beyond the truck contour andbe damaged or torn off. Examples of suchcomponents include:• A folding roof panel in the driver’s cab• Cab doors• Fold-out LPG cylinders

Condition of the roadwaysRoadways must be sufficiently firm, level andfree from dirt and fallen objects.

Drainage channels, level crossings andsimilar obstacles must be evened out and,if necessary, ramps must be provided so thattrucks can drive over these obstacles with asfew bumps as possible.

Note the load capacity of manhole covers,drain covers etc.

Operating the service brakeThe electric brake converts the accelerationenergy of the truck into electrical energy. Thiscauses the truck to decelerate.

Electrical braking recovers energy for thebattery. This results in a longer operating timebetween charging operations and less wear tothe brakes.

The truck can also be brakedwith themechan-ical brake by actuating the brake pedal (2). Inthe first section of the brake pedal’s travel, onlythe electric brake takes effect. As the pedal isdepressed further, the mechanical brake isalso activated and acts on the drive wheels

DANGER

If the service brake fails, the truck cannot brakesufficiently. There is a risk of accident!If the driver notices that the electrical braking effecthas reduced by 50% and that the drive torque hasdecreased to 50% of the normal level, a componentfailure may have occurred.– Bring the truck to a standstill using the brakes.

Use the parking brake if necessary to assist inthis 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 thatthe truck could slip or overturn!The braking distance of the truck depends on theweather conditions and the level of contaminationon 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 providea sufficient stopping distance.

– Brake the truck by releasing the acceleratorpedal (1).

– If the braking effect is inadequate, usethe brake pedal (2) as well to apply themechanical brake.

Reducing speed when turning(Curve Speed Control)This function reduces the speed of the truck asthe steering angle increases, regardless of theamount to which the accelerator has been ac-tuated. If the steering angle is reduced againupon exiting the curve, the truck accelerates inline with how far the accelerator is depressed.

However, the function does not release thedriver from the duty to approach a curve at aspeed according to the following factors:• The carried load• The roadway conditions• The radius of the curve

DANGER

The Curve Speed Control function cannot overridethe 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 steeringcharacteristics of the truck.

DANGER

Increased risk of tipping if the Curve Speed Controlfunction is disabled! If the controller fails while thetruck is in motion or if the controller is disabled,the truck will no longer automatically brake whensteering.– 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, thetruckmay overturn in extreme caseswithin thefollowing situations:• Cornering too fast on uneven or inclinedroadways.

• Turning the steering wheel sharply whiledriving.

• Cornering with an inadequately securedload.

• Cornering too fast on a smooth or wetroadway.

Operation 5Lifting

LiftingLifting system variantsThe movement of the fork carriage and thelift mast heavily depends on the followingequipment:• The lift mast with which the truck isequipped, see ⇒ Chapter "Types of liftmast", P. 5-128

• The operating device with which thehydraulic functions are controlled, see⇒ Chapter "Lifting system operating de-vices", P. 5-131

Regardless of the equipment variants of thetruck, the basic specifications and proceduresmust be complied with, see ⇒ Chapter "Safetyregulations when handing loads", P. 5-147.

Automatic lift cut out (variant)

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

Application:• If the ceiling of the building is lower thanthe maximum lift height of the truck, thisvariant can prevent the lift mast fromaccidentally hitting the ceiling, which canresult in damage.

• If the truck is frequently used at a particularheight, the work is simplified by the auto-matic lift cut out at this height.

NOTE

If a load is lifted very quickly, the fork carriageand load are moved approximately 15 cmabove the position of the sensor due toinertia. This deviation is already taken intoconsideration at the factory when determiningthe position of the sensor.

Malfunctions during lifting mode

Incorrect extension sequence

DANGER

Risk of accidents!In the case of Hi-Lo lift masts (variant) and triplex liftmasts (variant), an incorrect extension sequencemay occur, i.e. the inner lift mast may extendbefore the free lift is complete. As a result, theoverall height is exceeded and damagemay occurin passageways or from low ceilings.

An incorrect extension sequence may, forinstance, result from:• The hydraulic oil temperature being too low.• Blocking of the fork carriage in the inner liftmast.

• Blocking of the free lift cylinder.• Blocking of the chain roller on the free liftcylinder.

– If the hydraulic oil temperature is too low,slowly actuate the lift mast functions severaltimes in order to raise the oil temperature.

In the event that the fork carriage is blockedin the inner lift mast, or the free lift cylinderor chain roller are blocked, the cause of theblockage must be eliminated before resumingwork.

– Notify your service centre

Hydraulic blocking functionThe hydraulic blocking function ensures thatall hydraulic functions are disabled wheneverthe seat switch in the driver’s seat is unloadedThis is when the driver stands up from thedriver’s seat or exits the truck. All hydraulicfunctions are disabled in this case:

• Lift the load• Lower the load• Tilt the lift mast• Auxiliary hydraulic functions

To ensure that the hydraulics blocking functiondoes not lock as well, the operating devicemust be in the neutral position for the "Lifting"function.

Enabling the hydraulic blocking functionThe hydraulic blocking function must beenabled after the following incidents:

• The driver has stood up from the driver’sseat whilst lowering the load.

• The driver has left the driver’s seat for morethan one minute.

Proceed as follows to enable the hydraulicblocking function:

– Sit down on the driver’s seat.

– Lift the fork a little.

5 OperationWorking with loads

The load measurement has an accuracy of+/-3% of the rated capacity of the truck.

NOTE

In order to ensure accuracy at all times, a zeroadjustment of the load measurement must becarried out. Zero adjustment is required.• as part of daily commissioning• after changing the fork arms• after fitting or changing attachments.

Performing the load measurement

DANGER

Risk of accident from a falling load!The loadmay fall if the load centre of gravity has notbeen taken into account or the load has not beenpicked up securely.– Pick up the load securely; see the chapter

entitled "Picking up loads".

CAUTION

If the weight determined by a load measurementexceeds the permissible residual load capacity ofthe truck, the truck cannot be operated safely.– Set down and reduce load immediately.– If necessary, use another truck with sufficient

load-bearing capacity.

NOTE

Accurate load measurement is only possibleunder the following conditions:• The hydraulic oil is at normal operatingtemperature

• The load is at rest at the beginning of theload measurement

• The load corresponds to at least 10% of thenominal load capacity in trucks with a loadcapacity of up to 2.5 t

• The load corresponds to at least 5% of thenominal load capacity in trucks with a loadcapacity of 3 t and over

• The lift mast is in the vertical position• The fork is not raised to more than 800 mmabove the ground

Towed load

DANGER

There is an increased risk of accident when using atrailer.Using a trailer changes the truck handling charac-teristics. When towing, operate the truck such thatthe trailer train can be safely driven and braked atall times. The maximum permissible speed whentowing 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.

CAUTION

Risk of damage to components!The maximum towed load for occasional towingis the rated capacity specified on the nameplate.Overloading can lead to component damage on thetruck. The sum of the actual towed load and theactual load on the fork must not exceed the ratedcapacity. If the existing towed load correspondsto the rated capacity of the truck, no load may betransported on the fork at the same time. The loadcan 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!Themaximum towed load only applies when towingunbraked trailers on a level surface (maximumdeviation +/- 1%) and on firm ground. The towedload must be reduced if towing on gradients. Ifnecessary, notify the authorised service centre ofthe application conditions. The service centre willprovide the required data.– Inform the authorised service centre.

Operation 5Cold store application

6210_900-002

Cold store applicationThe truck features cold store equipment(variant), making it suitable for use in coldstores.

It is equipped for two different types of applica-tion and marked with the cold store symbol.

Cold store-compatible oils (for hydraulicsand gearbox) and greases (for moving parts,gearing and chains) are used with the coldstore equipment.

Permissible useType of application 1:

• Constant deployment in temperature range-5 °C, brief deployment down to -10 °C.

Type of application 2:

• Alternating between indoor use down to-32 °C and for outdoor use +25 °C, brieflyup to +40 °C. For this application, coldstore-compatible hydraulic oil must beused according to the maintenance datatable; see ⇒ Chapter "Maintenance datatable", P. 6-303.

Operation

CAUTION

Changing from a cold inside temperature to a warmoutside temperature may result in the formationof condensation water. This water may freeze onre-entering the cold store, blocking moving parts ofthe truck.It is essential that close attention is paid to theduration of deployment in the different temperatureranges for both types of application.Before being used in the cold store, the truck mustbe dry and warmed up.The truck should not leave the cold store area formore than 10 minutes. By adhering to this rule,condensation water will not have time to form.If the truck stays outside for longer than 10minutes,it must remain there at least until the condensationwater has drained off and the truck has dried off.Depending on the weather, this will take at least 30minutes.

5 OperationCold store application

WARNING

Risk of injury!If condensation water freezes in the cold store, donot try to free blocked parts with your hands.

– Drive the truck for 5 minutes or so andoperate the brake several times to ensureoperational safety.

– Actuate all of the mast’s lifting functionsseveral times.

This warm-up phase is necessary to ensurethat 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 storeand operate the truck using a replacementbattery.

Using batteries in the cold storeTo compensate for the reduction in capacityat low temperatures, it is advisable to usebatteries with the maximum nominal capacityin the respective battery dimensions for therange.

Electric forklift trucks should not be parkedfor any longer than necessary in a cold area.This also applies to unused batteries. Thecharging station and the parking area fortrucks and batteries should be at normalroom temperature (not below 10°C). Chargingis extremely slow at low temperatures. Attemperatures below 10°C and with the usualcharging parameters, the battery cannot befully charged.

The battery must be fully charged before eachshift.

Purified water (topping-up water) should beused constantly during the gassing phase toensure that it is mixed thoroughly with theremaining acid. If the top-up water is notmixed, it may freeze.

5 OperationBlue-Q efficiency mode

Blue-Q efficiency modeFunctional descriptionThe Blue-Q efficiency mode affects both thedrive unit and the activation of the additionalconsumers, and reduces the truck’s energyconsumption.

If the efficiency mode has been activated, theacceleration behaviour of the truck changes tomake acceleration more moderate.

When travelling at low speeds—normallywhen 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, lowerspeeds are reached than would be the case ifthe 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 FIXEDoperating mode is configured in the displayoperating 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".

Effects on additional consumersThe following table shows the specific condi-tions that cause certain auxiliary devices toshutdown when Blue Q is activated. The aux-iliary devices available depend on the truckequipment.

WARNING

Danger of impact injuries to the head!If the head of the operator is located too close to theunderside of the roof, the suspension of the driver’sseat or an accidentmay cause the head to strike theoverhead guard.To avoid head injuries, a minimum distance of40 mmmust be ensured between the underside ofthe 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 bodyweight aswell as thewide variety of types of driver’sseat and overhead guard, the minimum headclearance must be ensured in every truck.

The driver’s compartment has been designedtaking ergonomics in the workplace intoaccount and in accordance with EN ISO 3411.In general, from the seat position, the operatorhas sufficient space to reach the operatingdevices safely, to operate the truck and to viewthe outline of the truck. Operators whose bodysize deviates from the specified dimensionson which EN ISO 3411 is based must beindividually considered by the operatingcompany.
