 1.3 Related Safety Instruction and Standard

1.3.1 EN standards

Continuous sound level: 74 dB(A)

according to EN 12053 as stipulated in ISO 4871

The continuous sound level is a value averaged according to standard regulations, taking the
sound pressure level into account when driving, lifting and idling. The sound pressure level is
measured at the ear.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a key quality feature of the truck.
EMC involves
● limiting the emission of electromagnetic interference to a level that ensures the trouble free
operation of other equipment in the environment.
● ensuring sufficient resistance to external electromagnetic interference so as to guarantee proper
operation at the planned usage location under the electromagnetic interference conditions to be
expected there .
An EMC test thus firstly measures the electromagnetic interference emitted by the truck and
secondly checks it for sufficient resistance to electromagnetic interference with reference to
the planned usage location . A number of electrical measures are taken to ensure the
electromagnetic compatibility of the truck .

1.3.2 Conditions for application

Working condition requirements:

– Use in specified rated load.
– Used in specified area as factory, tourist attraction and recreation place.
– Used on the flat ground, that is fixed and owns enough carrying capacity.
– It is prohibited to pass the bulge or cavity as the small wheel diameter may cause truck tipping
over.
– Used on the road with good vision and equipment use license.
– The truck's maximum operation altitude is up to 2000m.
– Trucks can only be operated in adequately illuminated working areas to avoid injuries. In case
of insufficient light, an additional lighting equipment is needed to ensure that the driver can see
properly.
If you must travel on an incline, the gradients should be below A% at full load, or below B%
without a load.(For the value of A and B, refer to the Gradability in technical data)

i NOTE
The EP instrumentation is used for serviced.
Cleaning
The manufacturer recommends to only use compressed air at less than 207 kPa (30 psi) or a
slightly damp towel to clean the battery. The battery, or its charging station, may be equipped
with fans, heat sinks, or other cooling devices that require periodic cleaning. Always know
and follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and service.
Optimize Battery Life
Always use and follow the battery management system (BMS). The BMS is the electronic
system that monitors battery data and use that data to its operating environment to influence
the battery's safety, performance, and service life. It also functions as a safety cut-off device
in case of overcharging, overcurrent, or overheating. Lithium-ion battery life is greatly reduced
if used outside a temperature range of 0ºC to 40ºC (32ºF to 104ºF) or in an environment with
greater than 85% humidity. EP recommends to opportunity charge lithium-ion batteries.
This is when the battery is recharged for short intervals during a shift period. It reduces or
eliminates the need for long charging periods, changing batteries during a shift, and extending
shift periods.
