• Example: These symbols indicate that the vehicle is not pro-
vided with such controls as active mast front tilt angle control.
• While driving the vehicle, be normally alert about a warning
lamp and/or an alarm buzzer. Should an error code be indi-
cated by a warning lamp or hour-meter, park the vehicle at a
safe location and ask a BT dealer for an inspection.
• The SAS, which is electronically controlled, need be initial-
ized after completion of a maintenance operation. Do not
unnecessarily remove or modify any SAS features. Whenever
an inspection may be necessary, make contact with a BT
dealer.
• When washing the vehicle, carefully prevent water from
splashing directly over the electronics (controller, sensor and
switches) employed in the SAS.
Description of features available in SAS models
Active control rear stabilizer:
When the vehicle makes a turn on the spot, a centrifugal force
will be generated in the lateral direction of the vehicle. In such
event, this feature will operate so that rear wheels will be locked
from swinging to support the vehicle on four wheels. Thus, the
vehicular stability will be enhanced in both right and left direc-
tions.
CAUTION!
With the vehicle locked from swinging, the stability does
surely increase. Nevertheless, it does not signify that the vehi-
cle would never tipover.
Operate the vehicle always correctly.
Automatic fork leveling control
•
With the vehicle not loaded, tilt the mast forward while press-
ing the tilt lever knob switch. This will cause the fork to auto-
matically stop at its horizontal position (with the mast
vertically positioned).
•
After stopping the fork at its horizontal position with the tilt
lever knob switch pressed, you may want to tilt the fork fur-
ther. To do this, return the tilt lever to the neutral position
once. Then, after releasing the tilt lever knob switch, operate
the tilt lever.
