Lifting of persons

device (not applicable e.g. for order pickers), it may only be used for lifting persons if
it has been designed for such purpose by the manufacturer and if the following rules
are observed:

– All position holding and stabilizing devices specified by the manufacturer shall be
in place and engaged;
– Be certain that required restraining means such as the guardrail system are in
place and properly used;
– Attach the platform fixtures and securely fasten the platform to fork carrier or fork;
– Ensure that both the empty and loaded lifting device moves smoothly over the en-
tire lifting height and that all lift cut-out devices and stops, if applicable, are func-
tioning;
– Ensure that the platform is level and centered and not tilted forward or backward
during lifting;
– Ensure that the industrial truck is standing firmly and in a level position;
– Set all travel controls to neutral position and apply the parking brake;
– Before lifting persons mark the work area with cones or other devices to warn of
work by elevated personnel;
