OPERATING PROCEDURES

STOPPING
Stop the lift truck as
gradually as possi-
ble. Hard braking
and wheel sliding
can cause the load
to fall off of the forks
and damage the load
or hurt someone.
PARKING
The operator must never leave a lift truck in a condition so
that it can cause damage and injury. When parking the lift
truck, do the following operations:
1. Stop the lift truck and apply the parking brake.
2. Fully lower the forks or carriage. Tilt the mast forward
until the tips of the forks touch the ground.
3. Put the direction control lever for the powershift trans-
mission in
NEUTRAL
. If the lift truck has a manual trans-
mission, leave the gears of the transmission engaged. DO
NOT leave a manual transmission in
NEUTRAL
.
4.Turn the key switch to
OFF
to stop the engine.
5. If the lift truck must be left on an incline, put blocks on
the down hill side of the wheels so that the lift truck can
not move.
If the lift truck is equipped with an LPG fuel system and is
parked more than momentarily, close the fuel valve at the
tank. If the lift truck is going to be left over night or longer,
the truck must be parked outside or the LPG tank must be
removed and stored outside.
Do not park the lift truck so that it limits access to fire
aisles, stairways, and fire equipment.
