is mainly in the hands of the operator to pre-
serve the qualities of the trucks for a long and
profitable service life and to make full use of
their benefits on the job. For attachments, the
proprietary operating instructions supplied
with them are applicable. Follow all hints for
operating the lift truck and carry out the main-
tenance and care prescribed in the inspection
and maintenance schedule regularly, on time
and with the specified lubricants. This manual
tells you all you need to know about start-
ing, running, servicing and maintaining your
lift truck. The terms “front”, “rear”, “left” and
“right” refer to the position in which the item
concerned is installed in the truck, looking for-
ward in the travel direction.
Approved applications Linde lift trucks are
designed for transporting and lifting the loads

dent prevention rules of your trade association
and the special measures required for driving
on public roads in accordance with the traffic
regulations. The safety rules for the use of
industrial trucks must be followed under all
