OW THE LIFT TRUCK
To start up the lift truck, never try to push or pull it.
Such a manoeuvre would cause serious damage to the hydrostatic trans-
mission.
You must unlock the wheel reducers before any movement.
Towing the lift truck must be carried out by means of a rigid drawbar, becau-
se 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. H3/1).
- Remove the plug 2 (Fig. H3/1), a little oil will then escape.
- Put a screw HM 6 x .. onto the threading of the drive shaft 3 (Fig. H3/2).
- Remove the drive shaft and protect it with a clean cloth.
- Reassemble the plug 2 (Fig. H3/1) and the retaining ring 1 (Fig. H3/1) so as
to protect the wheel reducers during the towing.
- After the towing, proceed in the reverse order.
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 chapter : B3 - CHECK THE
FRONT WHEEL REDUCER OIL LEVEL in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE).
