operator’s responsibility.
4.1.4 The user shall take reasonable measures to ensure that the operator's mental or physical
condition will not impair their ability to operate the truck.
4.1.5 In addition to specific training, application selection and operation of the truck, the user shall
take the following characteristics for trucks into consideration:
— these trucks are primarily designed for handling supported loads on forks;
— other attachments can be fitted.
4.1.6 The user shall take reasonable measures (for example, spot checks) to ensure that the safe use
requirements are being applied during operation.
4.2 Operator's manual(s)

use of the truck or the interpretation of the operator’s manual.
4.3 Modifications or alterations
4.3.1 Except as provided for below, no modifications or alterations to a truck that can affect its actual
capacity, stability or safe operation shall be made without the prior written approval of the original
truck manufacturer or its successor.
4.3.2 If the truck manufacturer is no longer in business and there is no successor, modifications or
alterations to the truck shall be carried out by a competent person under the following conditions:
a) the design, testing and implementation of the modification or alteration is made in accordance with
ISO 20297-1:2017;

c) appropriate changes are made to the information plate(s), documents, certificates, labels, tags and
operator’s manual(s);
d) a permanent and readily visible label is affixed to the truck stating the manner in which the truck
has been modified or altered, together with the date of the modification or alteration, and the
name of the person or organization responsible for the design, testing and implementation of the
modifications.
4.3.3 Upon completion of any approved modification or alteration and prior to truck operation, the
user shall ensure that the appropriate changes have been made to information plate(s), documents,
certificates, labels, tags and operator's manual(s) and any training, if required.
4.4 Manufacturer's bulletins
The user shall conform to the applicable bulletins as directed by the responsible entity.
4.5 Operator qualifications and training

for ensuring that the operator has been trained in accordance with ISO 23676.
4.5.2 The user shall ensure that the operator has read and is familiar with the operator’s manual(s)
and any other safety information provided by the manufacturer and user on the particular truck being
operated, the application and environment in which the truck is to be used, and any attachments used.
4.5.3 The user shall ensure that the operator is familiar with worksite rules and layout, working
conditions, handling of loads found at the workplace and local emergency procedures.
4.6 Inspection and maintenance
4.6.1 General
4.6.1.1 The inspection and maintenance of trucks shall be performed in accordance with the
manufacturer's and user’s recommendations. This includes:
a) a planned system for scheduled inspection, lubrication, maintenance and adjustment;
b) verification that only competent and authorized persons are permitted to maintain, repair, rebuild,
adjust, and inspect trucks, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
4.6.1.2 The user shall ensure that inspections and maintenance operations are conducted in an
authorized area where safe clearances exist.
4.6.1.3 The user shall ensure that appropriate personal protective equipment is available for use by
the authorized person.
4.6.2 Preparation for inspection or repair
In preparation for, and prior to, starting inspection or repair of a truck the authorized person shall:
— park the truck on a firm level surface;
— set the direction control in neutral, apply the parking brake, switch off the engine or power system
and remove the device (for example, key, key pad, magnetic card) that prevents starting without use
of such device;

— apply means to ensure the truck remains stationary (for example, wheel chocks, setting of park
brake);
— implement manufacturer-approved methods/devices as outlined in the operator's manual(s) to
prevent unintentional movement of the truck/components before working on or around it;
— eliminate the possibility of unintentional fluid escape before any part of that syst
