INSTRUCTIONS TO THE OPERATOR

FOREWORD

IMPORTANT

The risk of accident while using, servicing or repairing your lift truck can be restricted if you follow the safety instructions and safety measures detailed in these

instructions.

Failure to respect the safety and operating instructions, or instructions for repairing or servicing your lift truck, may lead to serious, even fatal accident.

In order to reduce or avoid any danger with a MANITOU-approved attachment, follow the instructions of paragraph: 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS AVAILABLE ON THE

RANGE: INTRODUCTION.

- Only the operations and manoeuvres described in this operator's manual must be performed. The manufacturer cannot

predict all possible risky situations. Consequently, the safety instructions given in the operator's manual and on the lift
truck itself are not exhaustive.

- As operator, you must anticipate at all times the potential risks for yourself, for others and for the lift truck.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A - OPERATOR'S MANUAL

- Read the operator's manual carefully.

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

- You must report any plates and stickers which are no longer legible or which are damaged.

B - AUTHORISATION FOR USE IN FRANCE

(or see current legislation in other countries)

- Only qualified, authorised personnel can use the lift truck. This authorisation is given in writing by the appropriate person

in the establishment with respect to the use of lift trucks and must be carried permanently by the operator.

- The operator is not competent to authorise the driving of the lift truck by another person.

C - MAINTENANCE

- The operator must immediately advise his superior if his lift truck is not in good working order or does not comply with

the safety notice.

- The operator is prohibited from carrying out any repairs or adjustments himself, unless he has been trained for this

purpose. He must keep the lift truck properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.

- The operator must carry out daily and weekly maintenance (

3 - MAINTENANCE).

- For the safety of the operator, maintenance must be carried out with the engine off and the ignition key removed.

- The operator must ensure tyres are appropriate for the type of ground (

2 - DESCRIPTION). There are optional solutions,

consult your dealer.

• SAND tyres.
• FARM tyres.
• Snow chains.

IMPORTANT

Do not use the lift truck if the tyres are incorrectly inflated, damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own safety or that of others at risk, or cause damage

to the lift truck itself.

The fitting of foam inflated tyres is prohibited and is not guaranteed by the manufacturer, excepting prior authorisation.

- The operator is responsible for deciding and adjusting the frequency of cleaning needed to prevent the risk of fire ensuing

from the build-up of flammable material(s).

- The operator should pay special attention to all the areas of the lift truck where these risk materials are likely to accumulate.

D - 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.

E - LIFTING PEOPLE

- It is forbidden to lift or carry people.
