Parking Brake Lever
The lift truck is equipped with a lever to apply the parking brake. Pull the lever
to the vertical position to apply the parking brake.
Lift trucks with a MONOTROL pedal:
when the parking brake is applied, a
switch in the starting circuit is closed so that the engine can be started. The
switch also puts the transmission in

lock on the lever when the lever is moved to release the parking brake.
Correct adjustment is necessary to provide adequate braking and to keep
