Danger to life due to unsecured vehicle or moving parts!
Always note the following prior to any maintenance measure:
– Secure the carrier vehicle to prevent it from rolling away inadvertently.

– During the disassembly of fork carriers and fork arms, ensure that loosened
parts do not fall down or tip over.

falling.
Uncontrolled movements of the vehicle or parts can result in serious injuries or
even death due to the high dead weight.
