How to Move a Disabled Lift Truck
WARNING
Use extra caution when towing a lift truck if any of the
following conditions exist:
1. Brakes do not operate correctly.
2. Steering does not operate correctly.
3. Tires are damaged.
4. Traction conditions are bad.
5. The lift truck must be towed on a slope.
If the engine cannot run, there is no power available for
the hydraulic steering system. This condition can make
the lift truck difficult to steer. Poor traction can cause
the disabled lift truck or towing vehicle to slide. A
slope will also make the lift truck more difficult to stop.
Never lift and move a disabled lift truck unless the dis-
abled lift truck MUST be moved and cannot be towed. A
lift truck used to move a disabled lift truck MUST have
a capacity rating equal to or greater than the weight of
the disabled lift truck. The capacity of the lift truck
used to move a disabled lift truck must have a load
center equal to half the width of the disabled lift truck.
See the Nameplate of the disabled lift truck for the
approximate total weight. The forks must extend the
full width of the disabled lift truck. Put the weight cen-
ter of the disabled lift truck on load center of the forks.
Be careful to not damage the under side of the lift
truck.
How to Tow the Lift Truck
1. The towed lift truck must have an operator.
2. Tow the lift truck slowly.
3. Using a lift truck or a lifting device that can be attached
to the mast (i.e., come-a-long), raise the carriage and forks
approximately 30 cm (12 in.) from surface. Install a chain
