Changing Travel Direction With Travel Mode Change
This procedure applies when a change of travel direction is required that also
requires the travel mode to change e.g. when changing from forward to right or from
reverse to left.
Bring the machine to a complete stop by pressing the inch brake pedal.
Apply the park brake then release the inch brake pedal.
Select the desired change of travel direction with the four-way direction switch.
As the swivel arms start to turn for the change of travel mode press the
accelerator pedal lightly to speed up the operation.
Wait until the swivel arms have stopped turning. Release the accelerator pedal
when the operation is complete.
Follow the instructions in section 5.11 ‘Moving Off’ on page 77.
5.15 Parking
When parking the Combilift always ensure that one of the two recommended parking
methods are used to ensure the safety of the operator and others. There are two
recommended methods for parking the Combilift. One is called the Attended parking
method, for cases where the operator needs to exit the machine but will be no more
than 25 feet (7 metres) away. The other is the Unattended parking method, for cases
where the operator must exit the machine but will be further than 25 feet away.

Caution
Before exiting the cabin, place all controls in neutral and apply the park
brake. Never leave the seat without applying the park brake.
Park in a safe area on level ground. Never park on an incline/slope.
If the truck breaks down on an incline, securely chock the wheels, remove
the key and place an ‘out of order sign’ on the steering wheel.
If the truck is to be left unattended, fully lower the mast, tilt the mast fully
forward, turn the key switch to the ‘Off’ position and remove the key.
Ensure the parked truck will not cause an obstruction or safety hazard.
