CAUTION:
Electrical Connector. It is important to ensure the
electrical (electrical pigtail) connector is fitted correctly
and that the lights on the rear of the Truck Mounted
Forklift are functioning properly.
CAUTION:
Hydraulic Pressure. It is important to release the
hydraulic pressure so that the weight of the Truck
Mounted Forklift is carried by the mounting kit and
transport chains and NOT by the mast. Otherwise
damage will result from the forklift’s weight resting on
the mast.
CAUTION:
Rear Bumper. The rear bumper must be folded back
out to full length and the locking pin and lynch pin
fitted when the forklift is not being transported or
removed for the purposes of loading or unloading.
Note: Always ensure the park brake is off when
mounting or dismounting the machine. Always wear
your seatbelt, failure to do so will cause the park brake
to automatically engage and make mounting difficult.
Note: Always remember:
·
