Operating devices
The truck is to be used in dry, indoor facilities with hard, even and level floors. The temperature range in which the truck can continuously operate is +5 to +25°C, and for short periods +0 to +45°C. If the operating temperatures differ from the above mentioned, contact your truck dealer to obtain a separate machine designed for cold and freezing temperatures. A special machine for freezing conditions can be used in temperatures down to -35°C. This truck conforms to all the relevant requirements of the EU machine safety directive and thus has a CE marking.
Never use the truck:
• To transport and lift people • At premises with risk of fire • At premises with risk of explosion • At premises with insufficient floor load capacity • If it is damaged • As a mounting surface • To tow another truck • Under the influence of intoxicating substances
Free space
Make sure that the truck has sufficient moving space with respect to overhead structures. Before driving through aisles or door openings, ensure that there is enough space for the truck, the load and yourself. NOTE Always drive at a safe distance from the edge of loading platforms or bridges.
Bearing capacity of the floor
Make sure that the combined weight of the truck and the load does not exceed the bearing capacity of the floor.
Using elevators
You need permission from the site supervisor to use an elevator to transport the truck between floors. Make sure that the combined weight of the truck, the load and yourself does not exceed the maximum load capacity of the elevator. Always drive the truck into elevators and any other narrow spaces with the load in front. NOTE Make sure that there are no people in the elevator when driving the truck in or out. The parking brake of the truck must be on before the elevator moves.
Working on ramps
You need permission from the site supervisor to drive on a slope or ramp. When the truck is loaded, travel with the load pointing uphill. Without a load, you can travel with the forks pointing downhill. NOTE Do not turn the steering wheel abruptly on a ramp. The truck might overturn.
Working on loading bridges
Always check the bearing capacity and the fastening of the bridge before loading or unloading. If you need to drive the truck onto another vehicle, ensure that the vehicle cannot move during this procedure. Do not drive to the edges of a loading bridge because there is always a risk of overturning.
Identification plates on the truck
Check that the plates are legible and securely attached.
Type plate
The truck's type plate is marked with:
• Manufacturer • Type of truck • Year of manufacture • Serial number • Truck's weight in operating condition, without battery or accessories • Maximum and minimum battery weight • Battery terminal voltage • Truck's nominal lifting capacity • CE mark
Capacity plate
The capacity plate states the maximum lifting capacity at the maximum lifting height and the lifting height with the nominal lifting capacity. In addition, the plate states the centre of gravity distances for the relevant lifting capacity.
WARNING!
Do not overload the truck.
Capacity plate for accessories
Detachable accessories affect the truck's lifting capacity. If the truck is used with detachable accessories, corresponding capacity plates must be attached to the truck.
Safety pedal
To operate the truck, first press the safety pedal on the floor with your foot down to the drive position. The truck will not move if the pedal is not pressed.
Brakes
Operating and parking brakes
The parking brake is a magnetic brake which switches on automatically when you lift your foot from the safety pedal.
CAUTION!
The truck will stop abruptly if you release the safety pedal during high travelling speed. Use the accelerator to brake during normal driving. Remember to handle the accelerator gently.

Key switch (1)
The key switch connects the truck's electrical equipment to the battery circuit. 0 = Power off (the power is still connected to certain electronic devices) 1 = Power on
Valve lever (2)
The truck has a valve lever that lifts and lowers the lift forks.
Lever for lifting and lowering side stabilizers and/or button for lifting and lowering initial lift (3)
Accelerator (4)
The accelerator is used for controlling the driving speed and for braking. Handle the accelerator gently.
Steering wheel (5)
The truck is equipped with a fully electronic steering system.
Emergency stop button (6)
Press the emergency stop button to switch off the power circuit from the battery. Use the button in the following cases:
• A short-circuit or other electrical fault, e.g. if the pump motor runs continuously • In an accident
The switch is released by turning the button clockwise.

Display

Battery discharge indicator (1)
The battery discharge indicator shows the level of the battery charge. If the battery charge is too low, lifting will be stopped. When all four green lights are lit, the battery is full. When the red light is lit, the charge is very low and the battery has to be recharged immediately. The red light also notifies of a malfunction in the electronic system.
Hour meter (2)
The hour meter displays the time that the truck has been in active operation. It is always on when the electrical devices are operating.
