Functional Checks
Check the operation of the truck as follows:
NOTICE
Before performing these checks, familiarize yourself
with the operating procedures in Section 5.
1. Test warning devices, horn, lights, and other safety equipment
and accessories.
2. With the key switch ON, check the diagnostic display. The diag-
nostic display should show the charge remaining on the battery,
the hour meter or a fault code. If the fault code is not an operator
fault code (described in "Section 5, Operating Procedures—Using
the Diagnostic Display"), call a service technician.
3. Be sure all controls and systems operate freely and return to
neutral properly. Check the:
• Parking brake system.
• Hydraulic controls: lift, tilt and side shift (if equipped)
• Multi-function handle. (Direction/Accelerator control)
• Steering system.
When the functional checks are completed:
1. Bring truck to complete stop.
2. Make sure the multi-function handle has returned to NEUTRAL.
3. Lower the lift mechanism fully and tilt the forks forward.
4. Apply the parking brake. (Brake will automatically apply when the
pedal is released)
5. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
If you are going to leave the truck unattended:
6. Remove the key.
7. Block the wheels, if the truck has the possibility of moving.
8. Unplug the battery.
