NARROW AISLE

WARNING
If an attachment has been installed on the lift truck,
make sure the nameplate is correct.
Stopping
Stop the lift truck as
gradually as possible. Hard
braking and wheel sliding
can cause the load to fall off
of the forks and damage the
load or hurt someone.
Gradually stop the lift truck
using plugging or the brake.
Slowly releasing the brake pedal will stop the lift truck
gradually. Releasing the brake pedal completely and
quickly will make the lift truck stop abruptly.
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.
Bring the lift truck to a stop. Release the control handle
so that it returns to the neutral position.
2.
Release the brake pedal to apply the brake.
3.
Fully lower the forks or carriage. Fully retract the forks.
Tilt the forks forward.
4.
Turn the key switch to
OFF
. (If the lift truck is parked
because of a malfunction, also disconnect the battery.)
5.
Step out of the operator’s compartment.
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 cannot
move.
7.
Do not park the lift truck so that it limits access to fire
aisles, stairways, and fire equipment.
