After Operating the Truck
Always leave your lift truck in a safe condition. When you leave your
truck, or park it, follow these safety rules:
• Park in a safe area away from normal traffic.
• Never park on a grade.
• Never park in areas that block emergency routes or equipment,
access to fire aisles, or stairways and fire equipment.
Before leaving the operator's position:
1. Bring truck to complete stop.
2. Return the multi-function handle to the NEUTRAL position.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Lower the lifting mechanism—carriage and forks or attachment—
fully to the floor.
In addition, when leaving the truck unattended:
5. Tilt the forks forward until they are level and flat on the floor.
6. Turn the key switch to the OFF position.
7. Block the wheels if the truck must be left on an incline or you have
any doubt about the truck moving from a safe position.
8. Unplug the battery.
