HandlingTheLoad

Obey these rules when handling a load:

•Handle only loads that are within the hand pallet lift truck’s permitted lifting capacity.

•Handle only loads that are stable, evenly distributed on the forks, and safely arranged.

•Use caution when handling long and high loads. Load support is recommended for high loads.

•Remove the emergency stop key from the truck if leaving the truck without supervision.

• Never park on an incline or with a raised load.

• Never park in areas that could obstruct other traffic or work areas.

• Never park in areas that could cause personal injury or damage to any equipment.

•Loaded or unloaded, operate the hand pallet lift truck with great care. Overturning can occur, particularly when handling high loads or when operating with a hand pallet lift truck fitted with a load support or an extension frame in the raised position.

•Use extreme care when cornering. If operating at too high a speed, the load could fall from the hand pallet lift truck.

After that, the charger will perform trickle charging, which is indicated by the green LED being lit. The charging is done, but there is no risk of the batteries being damaged if the truck continues to be connected to the main socket for an extended period.

7.Disconnect the charging cable from the wall socket when the charging is done and the truck is to be used.

Chargin g

The truck is equipped with a built-in automatic battery charger.•Check if the LED on the battery cover is flashing. A flashing LED indicates that the batteries need charging immediately, and will cause the truck to stop. There is enough charge left in the batteries to enable the truck to be driven to the nearest charging point. •When the indication for charging is shown, press down and then pull up the emergency stop key, and drive to the nearest charging point. Follow the instructions for charging the battery. The truck’s main lead can be connected to the main supply whenever the truck is not in use to make sure the batteries are always fully charged. Follow battery manufacturer’s recommended use and maintenance instructions. Generally, charging for a minimum of 30 minutes is more gentle to the batteries and as a result will not shorten the battery service life. Additionally, it is necessary to charge the truck batteries overnight at least once a week or until the green LED on the charger lights.
