(or see current legislation in other countries)
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Operators driving on the public highway must comply with current highway code legislation.
- The lift truck must comply with current road legislation. If necessar y, there are optional solutions. Contact your dealer.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure the revolving light is in place, switch it on and verify its operation.
- Make sure the lights, indicators and windscreen wipers are working properly.
- Switch off the working headlights if the lift truck is fitted with them.
- Select the steering mode “HIGHWAY TRAFFIC” (as model of lift truck) (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Retract entirely the jib and put the attachment at 300 mm from the ground.
- Place the slope correctors in the central position, i.e. the transverse shaft of the axles parallel to the chassis (as model of lift truck).
- Lift up the stabilizers to the maximum and turn the blocks inwards (as model of lift truck).
Never move in neutral (forward/reverse selector or gear lever in neutral or transmission cut-off button pressed) to preserve the lift truck engine brake.
Failure to respect this instruction on a slope will lead to excessive speed which may make the lift truck uncontrollable (steering, brakes) and cause
serious mechanical damage.
