HR SeriesOperating & Safety InstructionsEnglish/USA – 11/09Original Instructions112.1.37 The operator shall implement means provided to protect against use by unauthorised persons.2.1.38 Never remove anything that may affect the stability of the machine such as, but not limited to,batteries, covers, engines, tyres or ballast.2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONSUnless specifically configured otherwise, the machine will have a short operational time in extremetemperatures such as freezers and cold storage, due to reduced battery performance. For electricalcables and components, the temperature must be within the range -5°C to 60°C.The machine is limited in high temperatures because of the cooling requirement for engines andhydraulic oil. Coolant temperatures must be within the range -37°C to 110°C (at 50% mixture of waterto anti-freeze). Oil temperature not to exceed –23°C to 93°C.The recommended operational range for these machines is - 5°C to +40°C. Please contactNiftylift Ltd for special considerations if the machine is required to operate outside thesetemperatures.Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended, frequent cleaning will be necessary. Alldust, dirt, salt encrustation, excess oil or grease should be removed. Deposits of paint or bitumen,particularly on legends or labels should be removed.All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 12.5 m/s, which equates to 45kph / 28mphor force 6 on the Beaufort scale. No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind strengthsabove this limit and if the operator has any doubts over the wind speed he / she should cease operationimmediately until it can be established that the wind speed has fallen to a safe level.DO NOT USE THE NIFTYLIFT IN ELECTRICAL STORMS2.3 NOISE AND VIBRATIONThe airborne noise emission on the Height Rider range of machines does not exceed 79dB(A),measured at a perpendicular distance of 4m, under equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressuretest conditions. This was based on a Diesel powered machine, working on high throttle, and underload. All other models will exhibit significantly lower emissions than this figure, dependant on poweroption. In normal operation the Vibration level to which the operator is subjected will not exceed aweighted root mean square acceleration value of 2.5 m/s2 .
