Risk of falling of the load

Figure A

When the work conditions differ from the testing ones (as is the case of piling on
inclined surface) there should be undertaken the following measures:
1) if the extraordinary conditions have a permanent character, to undertake
measures agreed with the surveyor and with the competent persons;
2) if the extraordinary conditions have a provisory character, use a truck with a bigger
admissible load or diminish the load.

In case of descent circulation is obligatory to move the truck in reverse direction with
the operator by the side of the truck to avoid possible overturn.

In the case of a stop (even a short one) it is recommended to lower the lifting group at
the minimum possible height and to take out the start key.

The stop in descent plane is to avoid; in case of necessity, turn the motor wheel in a
perpendicular position to the sense of movement and block the truck with nails

It is prohibited to stand in the vicinity of gates, passages, curves or places where the
truck could represent an obstacle for other transport means.

ABRUPT DEPARTURE, BRAKING AND DRIVING

At an abrupt braking, the moment of overturn at the front rollers increases due to the
inertia force: if the load is in lifted position or it was risen without a maximum stability on
the lifting group a situation of potential fall of the material is created.
More is the acceleration and the deceleration give to the truck during the load
movement, more is the risk of overturn caused by the inertia force.

LOAD TRANSPORT

During the transport the load must be maintained completely leaned to the head of the
lifting group (see figure A hereunder).

GENERAL NORMS OF SAFETY

Take care when the material is concentrating in one part: if there is not possible to
obtain a perfect stability of the load, it is adequate to tie up it and to move slowly,
paying maximum attention.

The overload compromises the stability and the efficiency of the device: as it is
shown in figure A of page 13 the load will be put as near as possible to the head of the
lifting group in order to distribute more equally the weight on the four wheels.

FAILURE SIGNALLING

Announce immediately to the surveyor all possible irregular utilizations, damages and
failures.

Report any occurred incident, even if there are no consequences, because in such a

way the reasons can be found and thus to eliminate them.
In the case of the stop of the truck due to electric or mechanic failures, announce the
responsible persons in order to make the necessary repairs which should be done
only by

authorized personal

CLOTHES

Avoid to use the truck being dressed with large or fluttering clothes

There is prohibited to come nearer to the parts in movement of the truck with long hair
not tied.

Avoid using clothes dirty of oil or fuel because these are easily to get burnt.

When using the truck or normal maintenance operations are executed, put on the
head a rigid cap and safe shoes; it is compulsory to use safety glasses and gloves
during the maintenance of the battery and of the oleodynamic power unit (the
electrolyte and the hydraulic oil could produce permanent damages to the sight and
skin.

NOT-AUTHORIZED MODIFICATION

There is strictly prohibited to bring not-authorized modifications to the lifter truck devices
and mechanic part without the previous authorization of the only constructing company:
the modifications could compromise the stability and the functionality of the truck and of
its safety protections implying a danger.

ECOLOGY AND POLLUTION

Concerning the utilization and the assimilation of the products used for the truck
cleaning and maintenance, there should be respected the laws in force of the respective
country; in the case of truck dismantlement, observe the anti-pollution norms in force in
the country of utilization.

RECAPITULATION: EXECUTE ALWAYS GRADUAL STARTS AND SLOW DOWNS,

MAINTAINING THE LOAD COMPLETELY PUT ON THE FORKS AT A MAXIMUM

HEIGHT OF 30 CM FROM THE SOIL; CONTROL THE STABILITY OF THE LOAD.

THE LIFTING AND LOWERING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE ALWAYS EXECUTED

WITH A STOPPED TRUCK.

PAY ALWAYS MAXIMUM ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN WORK: A SHORT MOMENT

OF INATTENTION COULD PROVOKE SEVERE INJURIES TO YOU AND TO THE

OTHERS, AS WELLAS DAMAGES TO THE TRUCK AND MATERIALS.
