Reach-lower lock (variant)
The reach/lower lock prevents the load forks
from being lowered between the running
wheel beams for the entire time that the
reach carriage is in the retracted position.
As a result, wide loads cannot accidentally
come to rest on the running wheel beams
during lowering and become unstable. The
driver can override the cut out by pressing the
acknowledge button (1) or by pressing the "F
button"(2).
Placing loads down on the ground
– Lower the fork carriage to the interlock.
– Extend the reach carriage in the load
direction to the stop.
– Fully lower the fork carriage.
When the reach carriage is fully extended,
the fork carriage can be lowered fully without
the lock. It is not then possible to retract the
reach carriage. This prevents the load from
being "stripped". The driver must first lift the
load "free" again (to a height greater than 400
mm) or override the cut-out by pressing the
acknowledge button.
Overriding the reach/lower lock by pressing
the acknowledge button:
• Press the acknowledge button (1) to over-
ride the cut out.
Overriding the reach/lower lock by pressing
shift button "F":
• The adhesive label (2) indicates that the
"F button" (3) is another option that can be
used to acknowledge commands.
Move the joystick or the relevant fingertip
switch to the zero position. Within one
second, press the "F button" and release
it again to override the cut-out.
If the "F button" is not pressed and then
released within one second, the default
function of the F button is restored automat-
ically.
