When the tilt lever is operated from the backward to forward
position with the knob switch depressed, the mast will perform
as follows:
CAUTION!
• With the mast tilted forward with a high load at a high lift,
pressing the tilt lever knob switch will cause the mast to stop
moving. Absolutely avoid such operation because this auto-
matic fork leveling control, if operated while handling a load,
involves the fear of causing the vehicle to tipover.
• In case of the vehicle with an attachment, do not allow the
fork to be automatically positioned horizontally, with a high
load at a high lift while the engine is running at a high speed.
This will lead to a hazard.
• Some specialty models onto which a heavy attachment is
mounted may not be equipped with the automatic fork leveling
control. Confirm a BT dealer in advance.
Note:
•
The mast will not move if it is tilted forward by pressing the tilt
lever knob switch with a high load at a high lift (more than 2
m).
•
As long as the mast is tilted forward from its vertical position,
it will no longer tilt forward even if the tilt lever knob switch is
pressed.
•
While it is tilting backward, the fork will not stop at its horizon-
tal position even if the tilt lever knob switch is pressed.
