Working with attachments
DANGER
When activating the valves for the purpose of
depressurising the hydraulic lines, unexpected
hydraulic movements may occur.
The "release the pressure from the hydraulics"
truck function can be used to depressurise the
entire hydraulic system. For example, this means
that the fork may lower faster than expected when
the "lowering" function is performed.
– Ensure that there are no people or objects in the
vicinity of the reach carriage, the lift mast or the
fork.
– Using your right hand, activate the auxiliary
hydraulics to release the pressure from the
hydraulic lines. The control of the auxiliary
hydraulics is dependent on the operating
devices (joystick, fingertip switch) and their
configuration, refer to the chapter entitled
"Lifting system operating devices".
– Release the ESC button and foot switch.
For trucks without a foot switch, releasing
the ESC button will suffice.
The assistance arrows will stop flashing. The
hydraulic system is switched off and remains
deactivated until the next time the truck is
started.
– To re-activate the hydraulics, switch the key
switch off and on again.
General instructions for controlling
attachments
The way in which attachments (variant) are
controlled depends on the operating devices
included in the truck’s equipment. Essentially,
a distinction is drawn between:
• Joystick 4Plus, refer to the chapter entitled
"Controlling attachments using the joystick
4Plus (5th/6th hydraulic function)"
• Fingertip, see the chapter entitled "Control-
ling attachments using the fingertip (5th/6th
hydraulic function)"
