3.3 Towing
Do not routinely use the forklift truck for towing or being towed.
The tow pin under the counterweight is only to be used in the following situations:
–
To urgently move the forklift truck if it suddenly breaks down on the working road.
–
To be used for getting out of trouble if the forklift truck gets into trouble (e.g. its wheels
are trapped into pits) and cannot be driven.
Operating steps:
–
Turn off the key switch and unplug the battery power supply.
–
Release the parking brake.
–
Put the direction lever in the neutral position.
–
Firmly tie the steel tow rope on the tow pin.
The forklift truck can then be towed.
Warning
Do not tow forklift trucks with defective steering systems or damaged brake systems.
Do not suddenly apply load to the steel wire rope.
The controller will be damaged if the forklift truck is towed when it is powered on.
