14 - SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL AND TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF
The pedal acts on the front and rear wheels via a power assisted hydraulic braking system that slows the lift truck and brings
it to a halt. Depending on the position of the transmission cut-off switch, it enables the transmission to be cut off during the
free travel (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: 6 - SWITCHES).
15 - GEAR LEVER AND TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF
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 lift trucks such as these, that are equipped with torque converters, it is not necessary
to systematically set off in first gear and work up through the gears.
IMPORTANT
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 lamp 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.
• ON THE ROAD: Set off in 3rd gear and change up to 4th if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
In hilly areas, set off in 2nd gear and change up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road
permit it.
• WITH A TRAILER ON THE ROAD: Set off in 2nd gear and change up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• HANDLING: Use 3rd gear. In confined spaces use 2nd gear.
• LOADING (picking-up with bucket, manure fork, etc.): Use 2nd gear.
• EARTH MOVING: Use 1st gear.
16 - PARKING BRAKE LEVER
To prevent accidental loosening or release, the lever is fitted with safety locking.
- To apply the parking brake, pull the lever backwards (position A).
- To loosen the parking brake, release and push the lever forwards (position B).
