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 at very slow speed (less than 5 kph) over the shortest possible distance (less than
100 m).
- To tow a lift truck, the wheel reducers 1 (fig. H6/1) 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
Carry out this operation on both front wheel reducers.
- Place a container under the reducer.
- Disassemble the retaining ring 1 (fig. H6/1).
- Remove the plug 2 (fig. H6/1), a little oil will then escape.
- Put a screw HM 6 x .. onto the threading of the drive shaft 3 (fig. H6/2).
- Remove the drive shaft and protect it with a clean cloth.
- Reassemble the plug 2 (fig. H6/1) and the retaining ring 1 (fig. H6/1) so as to protect the wheel
reducers during the towing.
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.
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 : B4 - FRONT WHEELS REDUCERS OIL LEVEL).
