11 - CEILING LIGHT
12 - ACCELERATOR PEDAL
13 - SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL AND TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF
The pedal applies on the front wheels by an hydraulic brake system, and allows the lift truck to be slowed down and stopped.
Depending on the position of the transmission cut-off switch, it enables the free travel to cut off transmission (see: 2 -
DESCRIPTION: 4 - SWITCHES).
14 - DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PUSH-BUTTON

While the differential lock is engaged, always drive in a straight line and remain in first gear.
The differential lock allows the driving wheels to rotate at the same speed regardless
of ground conditions. Press on the top of the push-button to engage.
- Hold this position for as long as the differential lock is required. To disengage,
simply remove the foot from the push-button that will automatically return to its
initial position.

15 - GEAR LEVER
In order to change gear, it is necessary to cut the transmission by pressing button 1 on
the lever.
• 1st gear: To the right, backwards.
• 2nd gear: To the right, forwards.
• 3rd gear: To the left, backwards.
• 4th gear: To the left, forwards.
CONDITION FOR USING THE TRANSMISSION GEAR RATIOS
NOTE: On these lift trucks with a torque converter, it is not necessary to automatically
start up in 1st gear and progress up the gears.
t
IMPORTANT
t
Progressing up the gears should be made carefully in relation to the work to be performed.
A bad gear choice may lead to an extremely rapid temperature rise of the gear box oil by excessive slipping of the converter, which can lead to severe damage
(it is important to stop and change the working conditions if the gear box oil temperature indicator light turns on).
This bad choice may also lead to a decrease in the lift truck’s performance in forward speed. When the forward effort increases, the moving speed in the gear (for example
3rd gear) may be weaker than the forward speed that can be obtained in 1st gear (in 2nd gear instead of 3rd).
In general, we would advise you to use the following gears according to the nature of the work being carried out.
• On the road, set off in 3rd gear and go into 4th when the conditions and state of the road allow. In hilly areas, set off
in 2nd gear and go into 3rd when the conditions and the state of the road allow.
• With a trailer on the road: set off in 2nd gear and switch to 3rd if the conditions and the state of the road allows.
• Handling: 3rd gear.
2nd gear in restricted spaces.
• Earth moving: 1st gear.
• Loading (picking up with bucket, manure fork, etc.): 2nd gear.
