 Parking the machine and stopping the engine
Make certain that the forklift is parked on level ground when leaving it overnight. Also
park it on level ground before any scheduled maintenance is attempted.
- Lower the forks to the ground, lock the park brake and push directional switch to
NEUTRAL.
- Apply the parking brake
- If it is necessary to park the forklift on a gradient, in addition to using the park
brake, place chocks against the wheels.
- If the engine has been working at full load, run the engine at idle for 1 minute - as
this procedure will cool the engine components evenly.
- To stop the engine, turn the ignition switch key in a counter-clockwise motion.
- Remove the key from the ignition switch and take it with you. Never leave the key
in a parked machine.
- Lock all mechanisms to prevent any unauthorised person from using the forklift
- Remember that you are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect
you but also the people around you.
 Be careful with the environment
At the end of the operating life of the machine, bring it to a recycling center or an scrap-
dealer.
It is absolutely forbidden to leave the materials in public places.
When changing the engine oil or other fluids, use a big collecting trough. Make sure
not to pollute the environment with emerging oil and other waste products (coolant,
batteries, etc.) bring them to the corresponding recycling centre.
In case that substances escape from the machine that are harmful to the environment
and/or to the people, take remedial measures inmediately, (eg.: if hydraulic oil emerges;
apply oil bonding agent, put a collecting vessel underneath, tighten leakage, remove
and dispose of contaminated earth, if required).
At the end of the life cycle of the machine, bring it to the specialised and recognised
recycling centres.
