16 - GEAR LEVER AND TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF
In order to change speeds, it is necessary to cut the transmission by pressing the button 1
on the lever.
1st gear: To the right, backwards.
2nd gear: To the right, forwards.
3rd gear: To the left, backwards.
4th gear: To the left, forwards.
USING THE GEARS ON THE GEAR BOX
- On these lift trucks with a torque converter, it is not necessary to automatically start up
in 1st speed and progress up the gears.
The choice of gear ratio should be made carefully according to the nature of the work being
carried out. A poor choice may result in the extremely rapid elevation of the transmission oil
temperature through excessive slipping of the converter, which could lead to serious damage to the transmission (it is essential to stop
and change the working conditions if the transmission oil temperature indicator light comes on). This poor choice may also result in a
reduction in the lift truck's performance in forward speed. When the forward force increases, the forward speed in the g gear (for example
3rd gear) may be lower than the forward speed that could be obtained with the g-1 gear (in 2nd instead of the 3rd).
In general, we would advise you to use the following gears according to the nature of the work being carried out.
• On the road: Set off in 3rd gear and go up to 4th if the conditions and state of the road permit it. In hilly areas, set off in 2nd
gear and go up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• With a trailer on the road: Set off in 2nd gear and go up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• Handling: 3rd gear.
2nd gear in restricted spaces.
• Loading (reclaiming with bucket, manure fork, etc.): 2nd gear.
• Earth moving: 1st gear.
17 - REVERSING GEAR
FORWARD: Push the knob forward (position A).
REVERSE: Pull the knob backwards (position B).
NEUTRAL: The knob must be in the intermediate position to start the lift truck (position C).
When operating this control, the lift truck should be travelling at slow speed and not
accelerating.
NOTE: The reverse lights indicate that the lift truck is running in reverse motion. An
OPTIONAL audible reversing alarm can also be fitted.
SAFETY FOR MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK
Authorization to move the lift truck is controlled by an electronic unit. The operator
must observe the following sequence to move the truck forwards or backwards:
1 - sit down correctly in the driver’s seat,
2 - release the parking brake,
3 - engage forward or reverse movement.
To stop the lift truck, he must observe the following sequence:
1 - set the reversing gear in neutral,
2 - engage the parking brake,
3 - get out of the lift truck.
NOTE: If the operator leaves the driver's cab with forward or reverse movement, an acoustic alarm sounds continuous, the
operator can sit down again and to continue forward or reverse displacement.
If the acoustic alarm sounds discontinuous, the operator must sit down, set the reversing gear in neutral and engage
forward or reverse movement if he wants to continue the displacement.
