Loading
If components and attachments must be removed for trans-
port of the lift truck, see the
Service Manual
for removal
procedures.
The operator must never leave a lift truck in a condition so
that it can cause damage and injury. When the lift truck is
loaded on the transport, do the following operations:
1.
Apply the parking brake.
2.
If the mast is mounted on the lift truck, fully lower the
forks or carriage. Tilt the mast
FORWARD
until the tips of
the forks touch the surface.
3.
Turn the key switch to the
OFF
position. Check that all
switches and accessories are turned off.
WARNING
The straps or chains used to fasten the lift truck to the
transport must be directly connected to the lift truck
frame or to a component (drive axle, tow pin) that is
solidly attached to the frame. Do not fasten a strap or
chain to the mast or any attachment to hold the lift
truck on the transport.
CAUTION
Make sure that any straps or chains used to fasten the
lift truck to the transport do not contact any tubes,
hoses, hydraulic cylinders, or other parts of the truck
that are easily damaged.
4.
Secure the lift truck tires to the transport vehicle using
straps or chains.
5.
Put blocks in front and back of the lift truck tires to pre-
vent any movement of the lift truck. Make sure the blocks
are attached to the load surface.
If the lift truck is transported in severe weather or any other
condition that can damage the lift truck, cover the lift truck.
Make sure the protective cover is designed for the applica-
tion and is securely fastened.

If components normally attached to the lift truck were
removed for transport, see the
Service Manual
for installa-
tion procedures.
