1-11
- 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 par ticular
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 transpor t position, i.e. at 300 mm from the ground, the jib retracted
and the carriage sloping backwards.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, use the recommended gear (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Select the steering mode appropriate for its use and/or working conditions (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS)
(as model of lift truck).
- Shift the for ward/reverse selector to the selected direction of travel and accelerate gradually until the lift truck moves off.
G - STOPPING THE LIFT TRUCK
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Never leave the ignition key in the lift truck during the operator’s absence.
- When the lift truck is stationar y, or if the operator has to leave his cab (even for a moment), place the forks or attachment on the
ground and place the for ward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Make sure that the lift truck is not stopped in any position that will inter fere 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 %.
- Set the for ward/reverse selector to neutral.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, place the gear lever in neutral.
- Retract entirely the jib.
- Lower the forks or attachment to rest on the ground.
- When using an attachment with a grab or jaws, or a bucket with hydraulic opening, close the attachment fully.
- 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 cer tain par ts will rise significantly due to the stopping of the cooling
system, with the risk of badly damaging such par ts.
- Stop the I.C. engine with the ignition switch.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Lock all the accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls…).
