Congratulations on your purchase of a Prins Sprinter or Prins Trike forklift truck manufactured
by Prins Maasdijk.
You will find all the important information you need to operate and maintain your forklift truck in
this manual. We recommend that you read through this manual carefully before taking the
forklift truck into use. Anyone using the machine is also recommended to read carefully through
the manual. Having read it, keep the manual where it can readily be found, so that essential
information about maintenance, defects and so on is always to hand.
If you need to order parts for your Prins forklift truck or if you have any questions or
observations, please contact Prins Maasdijk.
Please mention the machine's service and serial numbers in any correspondence with Prins
Maasdijk. These numbers appear on the plates mounted at top left and right of the steering
column. See Figure 1.1.
We trust you will enjoy many years of productive service from your new forklift truck.

When working with or servicing the forklift truck you must be aware of the associated hazards.
Take full account of the safety rules. Failure to do so may result in serious physical injury to
yourself or others.
It is impossible for the manufacturer to foresee every hazardous situation that might arise. You
as the user therefore have a responsibility to look out for your own safety and that of others
during the use and maintenance of the forklift truck. Always use the tools and consumables
recommended by the manufacturer. Only original components should be used as replacements.
For your own safety and that of others:
Never overload the forklift truck above the maximum permitted load indicated on the load
chart (see also Figure 5.12) on the machine.
Take careful note of the load diagram, which is located on the forklift truck's engine cover.
If you are forced by circumstances to lift a load on a single fork, take into account that the
maximal permitted load will be halved. However you must try to avoid doing this if at all
possible.
Keep the speed low when travelling with a load (never use top speed!) and keep the load as
close as possible to the ground.
With a raised load, keep the speed as low as possible and take account of the clearance
height of the forklift truck.
Complete the required safety checks on the machine before starting to work with it. You
must never start work with the forklift truck without completing these checks. Particular
attention should be paid to the tyres, the battery, the brakes, the steering system, the fuel
system and the electrical components. This will help to prevent accidents.
Fuel must never be added while the engine is running. No smoking is permitted while
refuelling or while replacing or topping up the oil, and no open flames or sparks may be
present in the immediate vicinity. Explosive gases are released during refuelling.
Remove any spillages from the machine following refuelling or replenishment with oil.
Before refuelling or replenishing the oil, check for any traces of leakage and establish where
these are coming from. If they are the result of a technical defect, have this repaired before
working with the forklift truck.
Always apply the handbrake and place the gear lever in neutral when leaving the forklift
truck.
An incorrect sitting position can lead to accidents. You should therefore start by adjusting the
seat so that you have good visibility and easy access to all controls.
The forklift truck must never be used without the safety cage or the roll bar (fitted as
standard).
A safety belt must be used when the forklift truck is in operation.

Always drive at a speed where you have the forklift truck under proper control. Excessive
speed can be hazardous to you and your environment. Sudden braking, acceleration or
turns can also result in a hazardous situation.
When driving the truck in and out of areas with limited headroom, take account of the
following points:
o Always check that there is sufficient space above and alongside the forklift truck.
o Keep all parts of your body within the safety cage at all times, keep your hands on the
steering wheel and your feet on or close to the pedals.
o Avoid hazardous situations when travelling.
Operate the controls gently. This will appreciably extend the service life of your forklift truck
and increase safety.
Never allow anyone to walk beneath the loaded forks. This is extremely dangerous.
Never carry passengers on the forklift truck, and do not use the forks to lift persons.
Loads should be allowed to descend gradually, with the forks horizontal or tilted slightly
back. Never lower the load with the forks tilted forwards.
There are numerous signs you can use to check the condition of the machine. Unusual
noises, vibration or changes in the response to the controls may indicate defects. If you
suspect a fault, take the machine out of use and stop the engine. Check the cause of the
defect and take the necessary measures to rectify it.

Overview of central dashboard
The Prins Sprinter and Prins Trike feature a central dashboard which includes a number of
warning signals. The fuel gauge is located in the middle. This shows the fuel tank level for
diesel engines. For lpg-driven machines, the level gauge is mounted on the tank. Below the fuel
gauge is a counter registering the service hours during which the machine has been in
operation.
The following warning signals are displayed in figure 4.3.
