SD SeriesOperating & Safety InstructionsUSA 03/16 112.2 ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONSAll Niftylift Self Drives are limited to operation as previously described. Unless specificallyconfigured otherwise, the machine will have short time rating for operation in extreme temperatures,i.e. reduced battery cycle times for low temperatures, e.g. freezers, food storage etc, coolinglimitations for high temperatures, i.e. oil temperature not to exceed -23 to 93 Celsius.Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended, frequent cleaning will benecessary. All dust, dirt, salt encrustation, excess oil or grease should be removed. Deposits ofpaint or bitumen, particularly on legends or labels should be removed.All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 28mph or force 6 on the Beaufort scale.No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind strengths above this limit and if theoperator has any doubts over the wind speed he / she should cease operation immediately until itcan 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 SD50 range of machines does not exceed 85dB(A), measuredat a perpendicular distance of 4m, under equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure testconditions. This was based on a Diesel powered machine, working on high throttle, and under load.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 a weightedroot mean square acceleration value of 28mph2.4 TEST REPORTAll Niftylift machine models are subjected to a comprehensive ‘type test’ which duplicates allcombinations of safe working load (SWL), overload, windage, inertia and pull force to assess thevarious safe stability criteria. Self propelled machines are also subjected to kerb and braking tests atthe SWL to satisfy additional ‘worse case’ stability requirements.Each individual machine is then subjected to static overload tests on flat level ground with 150% ofthe SWL, exceeding the requirements of EN280 for power operated MEWPs. Self propelledmachines are also tested at the maximum working angle plus 0.5º with a test load of 125% of theSWL. Finally, on all machines, a functional test is performed with 110% of SWL.All safety devices are checked for correct operation, operating speeds are checked againstbenchmark figures and the dynamic functions ensure that all acceleration and deceleration forcesare within acceptable limits. All noted defects are rectified and recorded before the machine ispermitted to enter into service.
