Description

STILL RX60 35-50 Explosion Protection Operator Manual – 2024 Edition

This is the full English-language operator manual for the STILL RX60 35-50 series of explosion-protected electric counterbalanced trucks. It is the document that ships with the truck and covers every aspect of safe daily operation, routine maintenance, and the explosion-protection checks that keep the truck approved for use in potentially explosive areas. If you operate, supervise, or maintain an RX60-35, RX60-40, RX60-45 or RX60-50 in an ATEX-rated zone, this is the reference that defines what you are and are not allowed to do with the machine.

Between them, these chapters cover the complete lifecycle of the truck: pre-shift checks, safe driving and load handling, the Blue-Q efficiency mode, the electrical and hydraulic systems, battery maintenance and charging, explosion-protection warning lights and what to do when they illuminate, the full maintenance schedule with operating-hour intervals, and the VDI technical datasheets that define load capacity, lifting speeds, climbing ability and battery specifications for each model. The explosion-protection content runs through every chapter – from the basic principles of zone classification and equipment categories, through the daily checks on the antistatic belt and corona electrode, to the 150-hour and 1000-hour explosion-protection maintenance tasks.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

With this STILL RX60 35-50 explosion protection operator manual on hand, you can carry out the daily visual inspections and function checks exactly as the manufacturer specifies, including the checks that are specific to explosion-protected trucks: the antistatic belt, the corona electrode, the flame proof enclosures, the explosion-protection warning lights and the insulation monitoring. You can interpret the warning lights and display messages correctly, and you know which actions require the safety officer’s approval before the truck is moved. You can operate the hydraulic and drive functions confidently across all the operating device variants – multi-lever, double/triple/quadruple mini-lever, Fingertip and Joystick 4Plus – and you can adjust the seat, steering column, armrest and display for a safe driving position. The manual also walks you through the Pre-Shift Check, driver profiles, Blue-Q efficiency mode, sprint mode, cruise control, speed restriction and the load-dependent assistance systems including Dynamic Load Control 1 and 2, Easy Target, and the load measurement and tare functions.

The maintenance chapter gives you the full lubrication plan, the maintenance data table with oil and grease specifications, the fluid capacities, tyre wear limits, steering axle lubrication points, battery maintenance procedures, and the complete 1000-hour and 3000-hour service schedules. It also covers the explosion-protection maintenance tasks that the operating company must carry out at 150-hour intervals, and the checks that only the authorised service centre can perform. If you are responsible for an RX60-35, RX60-40, RX60-45 or RX60-50 in an ATEX-rated area, this is the document that tells you how to keep it compliant.

Why Correct Procedures and Specifications Matter

Explosion-protected trucks are not ordinary forklifts. The RX60 35-50 series is approved under Directive 2014/34/EU for use in specific zones, equipment groups, equipment categories and temperature classes, and every one of those approvals depends on the truck being operated, maintained and checked exactly as the manufacturer specifies. Using the wrong fork arms, running the truck with a damaged antistatic belt, charging the battery inside a hazardous area, or ignoring an illuminated explosion-protection warning light can compromise the truck’s protection and create a genuine risk of explosion. The manual sets out the rules for each zone and category, the temperature classes T1 to T6, the equipment groups I, II and III, and the subdivision of group II equipment into IIA, IIB, IIC and IIIA, IIIB, IIIC. It also defines what counts as explosive materials, how to transport them, and what work is forbidden inside a potentially explosive area.

Having the exact operator manual for your truck means you are working from the same document that STILL supplies with the machine – not a generic guide, not a summary, not a third-party interpretation. The torque values, the clearances, the maintenance intervals, the oil specifications and the safety warnings all come from the manufacturer’s own text. That is what keeps your truck compliant, your operators safe and your insurance valid.
