Towing
If the brake for the towed forklift truck is no
longer functional, the forklift truck can only be
towed with a fixed connection (towing bar).
To tow the forklift, a towing vehicle with suffi-
cient tractive power and braking force for the
unbraked towed load is required.
– Set down load and lower fork arms almost
to the floor.
– Switch off the engine.
CAUTION
As a result of the design of the drive, the engine
cannot be started by pushing or towing the truck.
Don’t start vehicle by pushing or pulling!
CAUTION
Steering is heavy! There is no power steering if the
hydraulics are not active!
The maximum vehicle towing speed is walking
speed.
– After towing, secure truck from rolling away
(e.g. by placing chocks).
– Apply the parking brake.
Crane loading
Crane loading is only intended for transport-
ing the complete truck, including the lift mast,
for its commissioning. For operating condi-
tions that require frequent loading or that are
not presented here, please contact the man-
ufacturer with regard to special equipment
variants.
Only those persons with sufficient experience
of suitable harnesses and lifting gear may load
up forklift trucks.
