- Use the rear-view mirrors frequently.
- Drive round obstacles.
- Never drive on the edge of a ditch or steep slope.
- It is dangerous to use two lift trucks simultaneously to handle heavy or voluminous loads, since this operation requires par ticular
precautions to be taken. It must only be used exceptionally and after risk analysis.
- The ignition switch has an emergency stop mechanism in case of an operating anomaly occurring in the case of lift trucks not
fitted with a punch-operated cut-out.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Always drive the lift truck with the forks or attachment to the transpor t position, i.e. at 300 mm from the ground and the carriage
sloping backwards.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, use the recommended gear (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Release the parking brake.
- Shift the for ward/reverse lever to the selected direction of travel and accelerate gradually until the lift truck moves off.
G - STOPPING THE LIFT TRUCK
SAFETY NOTICE
- Never leave the ignition key in the lift truck during the operator's absence.
- When the lift truck is stationar y, or if the operator has to leave his cab (even for a moment), place the forks or attachment on
the ground, apply the parking brake and put the for ward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Make sure that the lift truck is not stopped in any position that will inter fere with the traffic flow and at less than one meter from
the track of a railway.
- In the event of prolonged parking on a site, protect the lift truck from bad weather, par ticularly from frost (check the level of
antifreeze), close and lock all the lift truck accesses (doors, windows, cowls…).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Park the lift truck on flat ground or on an incline lower than 15 %.
- Place the for ward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Apply the parking brake.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, place the gear lever in neutral.
- Lower the forks or attachment to rest on the ground.
- When using an attachment with a grab or jaws, or a bucket with hydraulic opening, close the attachment fully.
- Before stopping the lift truck after a long working period, leave the I.C. engine idling for a few moments, to allow the coolant
liquid and oil to lower the temperature of the I.C. engine and transmission. Do not forget this precaution, in the event of frequent
stops or warm stalling of the I.C. engine, or else the temperature of cer tain par ts will rise significantly due to the stopping of the
cooling system, with the risk of badly damaging such par ts.
- Stop the I.C. engine with the ignition switch.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Lock all the accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls…).
- For lift trucks operating on gas carburisation, shut the LPG bottle. For a long lasting stop, let the engine stop naturally by shutting
the LPG bottle before switching off the ignition, so as to eliminate all the fuel in the feed tube.
