Use on a slope Use on a slope NOTE Incorrect use of the truck on a slope is not recommended. It places particular stress on the traction motor, brakes and battery. Slopes must always be approached with great caution: Never attempt a slope whose gradient is greater than that specified in the truck’s datasheet.

Working with loads Working with loads DANGER Safety footwear must be worn. CAUTION Transporting people is strictly prohibited. CAUTION Be careful not to touch adjacent loads or loads positioned at the side or in front of the load being handled. Loads must be arranged so that they are aligned with a narrow space between them to prevent them from catching.
Page 39
Working with loads Picking up a load Approach the load carefully. Lower the load arms so that they can easily be inserted into the pallet. Insert the load arms under the load. If the load is shorter than the load arms, position it so that the end of the load over- hangs the end of the load arms by a few centimetres, in order to avoid hooking the...
Page 40
Working with loads Setting a load down on the ground Carefully drive the machine to the required location. Carefully move the load into the unloading area. Lower the load until the load arms are free. Withdraw the machine in a straight line. ...
Assessing the load Assessing the load The truck is fitted with a system for weighing pallets (or other containers with the same dimensions). The system has a tolerance of ±25 kg for loads up to 400 kg, provided the load is correctly positioned (see below). 1.1 Load positioning A) The load measured must be correctly positioned on the pallet (centre of gravity in...
Page 42
Assessing the load 1.3 Checking the load assessment system This check must be carried out regularly during the truck’s first hours of operation and after any use that may have resulted in exceptional mechanical stress (e.g. a fall from a rear flap or movement over obstacles with heavy loads) To carry out this operation: ...

Assessing the load Once it has been reset to zero, 999 will be shown on the screen (3). NOTE The "Resetting to zero" menu is automatically deactivated: - If the operator waits too long after pressing the button to perform the first lift - If the operator waits too long between two lifts 1.5 Display Message...
Using the battery Using the battery Installation and first use CAUTION Use the power supply with a constant NEVER: current. Immerse the battery. Use a power supply that is not suitable for charging Check that the voltage printed on the label the battery.
Relative battery charge status and periodic discharge Relative battery charge status and periodic discharge The relative battery charge status indicates NOTE the battery capacity as a percentage. The last battery discharge value measured The percentage is calculated in comparison is updated if a complete cycle is initiated (full to the remaining capacity during the last charge + full discharge).
Storing the battery Storing the battery It is recommended that the battery is stored connected to a charging current, in order to maintain the battery charge status via a maintenance charge. If the battery cannot be stored connected to a charging current, it must be disconnected and stored in a dry place at a constant tempera- ture.
Slinging Slinging WARNING Risk of serious injury and/or serious damage to equipment. Use hooks and a hoist of sufficient capacity and protect all parts coming into contact with the lifting device. Weight of machine (with battery): see technical specifications. Remove the load before slinging the truck. ...
Towing Towing CAUTION Deterioration or destruction of the equipment. Do not tow the truck by the control unit (tiller). Setting the load down in the event of a breakdown If the truck breaks down with the load in the raised position, use the following procedure: ...
Page 49
Towing Assemble the screw (2) and button (3) assembly and place the entire object inside the handle (1) as shown The brake can then be released by turning the assembly in the direction shown Transporting the machine If the truck has to be transported, make sure that it is properly chocked and protected against bad weather.
Maintenance Opening the battery hood Opening the battery hood Position the button (1) in the holding fixture (2) then turn to the right (a quarter-turn). NOTE Observe the direction of the button. Disconnecting the battery connector Open the battery cover. ...
