- Use the rear-view mirrors frequently.
- Drive round obstacles.
- Never drive on the edge of a ditch or steep slope.
- It is dangerous to use two lift trucks simultaneously to handle heavy or voluminous loads, since this operation requires particular
precautions to be taken. It must only be used exceptionally and after risk analysis.
- The ignition switch has an emergency stop mechanism in case of an operating anomaly occurring in the case of lift trucks not fitted with
a punch-operated cut-out.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Always drive the lift truck with the forks or attachment to the transport position, i.e. at 300 mm from the ground and the carriage sloping
backwards.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, use the recommended gear (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Release the parking brake.
- Shift the forward/reverse selector to the selected direction of travel and accelerate gradually until the lift truck moves off.
G - STOPPING THE LIFT TRUCK
SAFETY NOTICE
- Never leave the ignition key in the lift truck during the operator’s absence.
- When the lift truck is stationary, or if the operator has to leave his cab (even for a moment), place the forks or attachment on the ground,
apply the parking brake and put the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Make sure that the lift truck is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at less than one meter from the track
of a railway.
- In the event of prolonged parking on a site, protect the lift truck from bad weather, particularly from frost (check the level of antifreeze),
close and lock all the lift truck accesses (doors, windows, cowls…).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Park the lift truck on flat ground or on an incline lower than 15 %.
- Place the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Apply the parking brake.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, place the gear lever in neutral.
- Lower the forks or attachment to rest on the ground.

- Before stopping the lift truck after a long working period, leave the I.C. engine idling for a few moments, to allow the coolant liquid and
oil to lower the temperature of the I.C. engine and transmission. Do not forget this precaution, in the event of frequent stops or warm
stalling of the I.C. engine, or else the temperature of certain parts will rise significantly due to the stopping of the cooling system, with
the risk of badly damaging such parts.
- Stop the I.C. engine with the ignition switch.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Lock all the accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls…).
- For lift trucks operating on gas carburisation, shut the LPG bottle. For a long lasting stop, let the engine stop naturally by shutting the LPG
bottle before switching off the ignition, so as to eliminate all the fuel in the feed tube.
