hazards
(hazards caused by the liftgate)
DANGER
Electrical system with on-board voltage:
The liftgate receives electrical power from the vehicle’s on-board power supply
(max. 48 V DC). The electrical system is designed using state-of-the-art technology.
Do not damage or modify electrical components or wiring.
Fire and explosion hazard. Excessive current may damage the battery or cable harness.
To prevent this, visually inspect the electrical system (maintenance schedule).
DANGER
High-pressure hydraulic system:
The liftgate’s hydraulic system operates at high pressure (max. 220 bar). The hydraulic
system is designed using state-of-the-art technology.
Do not damage or modify hydraulic components or hoses.
Danger from pressurized liquids and gases.
Hydraulic components/lines can burst and cause injury.
Inspect hydraulic components/lines at regular intervals (maintenance schedule).
Install only state-of-the-art hydraulic components/lines.
DANGER
Moving parts with crushing points:
All parts that move in close proximity to one another can potentially crush fingers.
Watch out for the unexpected movement of moving parts.
DANGER
Moving parts with points where objects can be pulled in and/or trapped:
Parts of the body, long hair, and clothing are at risk of being caught and pulled in by
moving parts. This can result in fatal injuries.
Always secure long hair
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing
WARNING
Hinges with crushing points (on liftgate with platform foldover section):
Fingers are at risk of being crushed in the hinge area when the platform is folded and
unfolded.
Be careful when folding and unfolding the platform.
