Emergency lowering
DANGER
Risk to life if the load drops too quickly!
– Do not walk underneath the raised
load!
DANGER
If the truck is operated with the hydraulic controller
blocked, there is an increased risk of accident!
– After the emergency lowering procedure, have
the malfunction rectified.
– Notify your authorised service centre.
In the event of a power failure, the forks can
be lowered manually so that the truck can be
moved to a safe position.
The emergency lowering valve is operated
remotely by means of a flexible drive. The
handle for operation is located on the reach
carriage near the mast fixture.
WARNING
The load is lowered!
Control the speed by turning the handle of the
flexible drive by a smaller or larger amount:
– Turning by a smaller amount: load is lowered
slowly.
– Turning a larger amount: load is lowered quickly.
– After ensuring that no persons are in the
vicinity of the truck, use the hexagon key (1)
to slowly release the emergency lowering
valve (2) so that the fork carriage can be
lowered.
– Ensure that the valve is re-tightened once
the forks have been lowered.
– Notify your authorised service centre.
