If the lift truck is not on a horizontal ground, to fix so that it does not descend the slope.
The lift truck must be towed very slowly (less than 5 km/h) and for as short a distance as possible (less
than 100 m).
- To tow a lift truck, the wheel reducers (fig. G6/3) and the high pressure limiters 4 (fig. G6/3)
must be unlocked to avoid deteriorating the hydrostatic transmission. Towing the lift truck
must be carried out by means of a rigid drawbar, because the lift truck is uncoupled from its
braking system after unlocking the wheel reducers.
UNLOCKING THE FRONT WHEEL REDUCERS
Carr y out this operation on both front wheel reducers.
- Place a container under the reducer.
- Disassemble the retaining ring 1 (fig. G6/1).
- Remove the plug 2 (fig. G6/1), a little oil will then escape.
- Put a screw HM 6 x .. onto the threading of the drive shaft 3 (fig. G6/2).
- Remove the drive shaft and protect it with a clean cloth.
- Reassemble the plug 2 (fig. G6/1) and the retaining ring 1 (fig. G6/1) so as to protect the wheel
reducers during the towing.
UNLOCKING THE HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION 4 (fig. G6/3)
- Loosen the nuts 5 (fig. G6/4) by two turns at the most.
TOWING THE LIFT TRUCK
- Untighten the hand brake.
- Turn up the warning lights (option).
- As the steering booster is lacking, operate slowly and energetically the steering wheel.
Avoid abrupt movements and jerks.
- After towing, proceed in the reverse order to lock the wheel reducers and the high pressure
limiters.
NOTE: When reassembling, ensure that the drive shaft grooves and the gears coincide
without forcing.
- Top up the level of oil in the wheel reducers (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: B3 - FRONT WHEELS
REDUCERS OIL LEVEL).
