WARNING
Report damage or faulty operation immediately. Do not
operate a damaged or defective lift truck. A lift truck
will only do its job when it is in proper working order. If
repairs are required, install a tag in the operator’s area
stating “DO NOT OPERATE” and remove the key from
the key switch.
Starting Procedures
Do not start nor
operate the lift
truck, including
any of its func-
tions or attach-
ments, from any
place other than
the designated
operator’s posi-
tion.
Gasoline Or LPG Engine
WARNING
LPG is very flammable. An odor of LPG fuel can indi-
cate a leak in the fuel system. DO NOT start the engine
until the fuel leak is repaired.
1. If the lift truck uses LPG fuel, open the fuel valve on the
LPG tank.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied or push on the
inching/brake pedal.
