Residual dangers, residual risks
Despite careful working and compliance with
standards and regulations, the occurrence of
other risks when using the truck cannot be en-
tirely excluded.
The truck and all other system components
comply with current safety requirements. Nev-
ertheless, even when the truck is used for its
proper purpose and all instructions are fol-
lowed, some residual risk cannot be excluded.
Even beyond the narrow danger areas of the
truck itself, a residual risk cannot be excluded.
Persons in this area around the truck must ex-
ercise a heightened degree of awareness, so
that they can react immediately in the event of
any malfunction, incident or breakdown etc.
WARNING
All persons that are in the vicinity of the truck must
be instructed regarding these risks that arise through
use of the truck.
In addition, we draw attention to the safety regula-
tions in these operating instructions.
Risks can include:
●
Escape of consumables due to leakages,
rupture of lines and containers etc.
●
Risk of accident when driving over difficult
ground such as gradients, smooth or irregu-
lar surfaces, or with poor visibility etc.
●
Falling, tripping etc. when moving on the
truck, especially in wet weather, with leak-
ing consumables or on icy surfaces
●
Fire and explosion risks due to batteries
and electrical voltages
●
Human error resulting from failure to ob-
serve the safety regulations,
●
Unrepaired damage or defective and worn
components,
●
Insufficient maintenance and testing
●
Use of incorrect consumables
●
Exceeding test intervals
The manufacturer is not held responsible for
accidents involving the truck caused by the
failure of the operating company to comply
with these regulations either intentionally or
carelessly.
Stability
The stability of the truck has been tested to
the latest technological standards and is guar-
anteed provided that the truck is used properly
and according to its intended purpose. These
standards only take into account the dynamic
and static tipping forces that can arise during
specified use in accordance with the operating
rules and intended purpose. However, the
danger of exceeding the moment of tilt due to
improper use or incorrect operation and losing
stability can never be excluded.
The loss of stability can be avoided or mini-
mised by the following actions:
–
Always secure the load against slipping,
e.g. by lashing.
–
Always transport unstable loads in suitable
containers.
–
Always drive slowly when cornering.
–
Drive with the load lowered.
–
Even with sideshifts, align the load as cen-
trally as possible with the truck and trans-
port in this position.
–
Avoid turning and diagonally driving across
slopes or gradients.
–
Never have the load facing downhill when
travelling on slopes or gradients.
–
Pick up only loads of the approved width.
–
Always take great care when transporting
suspended loads.
–
Do not drive over ramp edges or steps.
