Load Handling, Emergency Load Lowering
WARNING
On trucks equipped with an electronic hydraulic control
valve, when the electronic signal to the mini-levers or
joystick is disrupted, the mast assembly can ONLY be
lowered with the emergency load lowering valve, located
on the main hydraulic valve (see Figure 14). When using
the emergency load lowering valve to lower a load, seri-
ous injury can result if anyone is near the load or under
the load.
WARNING
When power is interrupted on trucks equipped with a
manual hydraulic control valve and emergency load low-
ering valve, the following procedure must be used to
lower a load. When lowering a load using this procedure,
serious injury can result if anyone is near or under the
load.
WARNING
Always lower the mast assembly when leaving the lift
truck unattended.

ONLY if the electrical signal to the main control valve has
been disrupted and there is a load lifted.

umn to its highest position and open lift truck hood. If lift truck

lowering valve.
