How to Tow a Disabled Truck 6-3
Section 6. Emergency Starting and Towing
The power steering and brakes will not operate on the
disabled truck when the engine is not running. Manual
operation of the handwheel and brakes will be difficult to
operate. More manual effort will be required to perform
these functions.
9. Park the disabled truck in authorized areas only. Fully lower the
forks to the floor, put the directional control lever in the NEU-
TRAL position and turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Engage the parking brake. Remove the ignition key and, when
necessary, block the wheels to prevent the truck from rolling.
Always engage the parking brake when parking a lift
truck. The truck can move and cause injury or death to
personnel near it.
