In order to change speeds, it is necessary to cut the transmission by pressing the 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.
USING THE GEARS ON THE GEAR BOX
- On these lift trucks with a torque converter, it is not necessary to automatically start up in 1st speed
and progress up the gears.
The choice of transmission gear ratio should be made carefully according to the nature of the work being carried out. A poor choice may result in the extremely
rapid rise of the transmission oil temperature through excessive slipping of the converter, which could lead to serious damage to the transmission (it is essential
to stop and change the working conditions if the transmission oil temperature indicator light comes on). This poor choice may also result in a reduction in the lift
truck’s performance in forward gear. When the forward force increases, the forward speed in the r gear (for example, in 3rd gear) may be lower than the forward
speed that could be obtained with the r-1 gear (in 2nd instead of 3rd).
In general, we would advise you to use the following gears according to the nature of the work being carried out.

When operating this control, the lift truck should be travelling at slow speed and not accelerating.
When the reverser is in the neutral position a mechanical lock prevents an accidental shifting
movement.
FORWARD: Lift slightly and push the lever forwards (position A).
REVERSE: Lift slightly and pull the lever backwards (position B).
NEUTRAL: To start the lift truck, the lever must be in neutral (position C).
NOTE: As an OPTION, reversing lights and an acoustic reversing alarm indicate that the lift truck
is running in reverse.
SAFETY FOR MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK
Authorisation to move the lift truck is controlled by an electronic unit. The operator must observe the following sequence to move the
truck forwards or backwards:
1 - sit down correctly in the driver’s seat,
2 - release the parking brake,
3 - engage forward or reverse movement.
To stop the lift truck, he must observe the following sequence:
1 - Set the forward/reverse selector to neutral,
2 - engage the parking brake,
3 - get out of the lift truck.
NOTE: If the operator leaves the driving cab with forward or reverse engaged, a continuous alarm will sound. While this alarm sounds, the
operator can simply sit back in the seat and continue advancing or reversing.
If the alarm becomes discontinuous, the operator must sit back in the seat, put the forward/reverse selector back in neutral and select
forward or reverse if he wishes to continue moving.
