Stopping
Stop the lift truck as gradually as possible. Hard braking
and wheel sliding can cause the forklift to tip or 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 mast forward until
the tips of the forks touch the ground.
3. If equipped, move the Direction Control Lever to the
NEUTRAL position.
4. Turn the key to the OFF position to stop the engine.
5. To release seat belt, press red release button and guide
belt carefully back into retractor with your hand.
6. 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.
7. Check engine compartment, if operating in areas con-
taining combustible material, and remove foreign debris.
See
FIRE HAZARD WARNING at the beginning of this
section.
8. If the lift truck is not in active use, close the fuel valve at
the tank. If the lift truck is going to be left over night or lon-
ger, 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.
