- Our lift trucks comply with Directive 2004/108/EC concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and with the

corresponding harmonised standard EN 12895. Their correct operation is no longer guaranteed if they are used within
areas in which the electromagnetic fields exceed the limit specified by this standard (10 V/m).

- Directive 2002/44/EC requires company managers to not expose their employees to excessive vibration doses. There is

no recognised code of measurement for comparing the machines of different manufacturers. The actual doses received
cannot therefore be measured under actual operating conditions at the user's premises.

- The following are some tips for minimising these vibration doses:

• Select the most suitable lift truck and attachment for the intended use.
• Adapt the seat adjustment to the operator's weight

(according to lift truck model)

and maintain it in good condition, as well

as the cab suspensions. Inflate the tyres in accordance with recommendations.

• Ensure that the operators adapt their operating speed to suit the conditions on site.
• As far as possible, arrange the site in such a way as to provide a flat running surface and remove obstacles and harmful

potholes.

C - MODIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK

- For your own safety and that of others, you must not change the structure and settings of the various components used

in your lift truck by yourself (hydraulic pressure, limiter calibration, engine speed, addition of extra equipment, addition
of counterweights, unapproved attachments, alarm systems, etc.). In this event, the manufacturer cannot be held liable.

D - FRENCH ROAD TRAFFIC RULES

- Only one certificate of conformity is issued. It must be kept in a safe place.

- The driving of non-approved lift trucks on the public highway is subject to the provisions of the highway code relating to

special machines, defined in article R311-1 of the highway code, in category B of the Equipment Order of 20 November
1969 that determines the procedures applicable to special machines. The lift truck must be fitted with a license plate.

INSTRUCTIONS

- The operator's manual must always be in good condition and kept in the place provided on the lift truck and in the

language used by the operator.

- Operator's manuals and any plates or stickers which are no longer legible or are damaged, must be replaced.

MAINTENANCE

- Maintenance or repairs other than those detailed in part: 3 - MAINTENANCE must be carried out by qualified personnel

(consult your dealer) and under the necessary safety conditions to maintain the health of the operator and any third party.

IMPORTANT

Your lift truck must be inspected periodically to ensure that it remains in compliance.

The frequency of this inspection is defined by current legislation in the country in which the lift truck is used.

- Example for France: “The manager in charge of the establishment using a lift truck must open and maintain a maintenance

log for each machine (Order of 2 March 2004) and undergo a general periodic inspection every 6 months (Order of 1
March 2004)”.
