If it is necessary to drive in sideward mode on a slope with a long load the situation
must be fully assessed and a safe work procedure determined before proceeding.
It may be necessary to secure the load to prevent it from sliding on the platforms.
Rubber sheeting or other nonslip coatings may be fixed to the platforms to prevent the
load from sliding.
5.20 Towing
Should the need arise to Tow the truck it is necessary to first apply the bypass condition
on the hydrostatic pump in order to prevent it from being damaged. It is also necessary
to mechanically release the park brake on each of the wheel motors. The truck should
only be towed if it has broken down in a location where it is deemed to be a safety
hazard.
5.20.1 Hydrostatic Drive Bypass Function
To activate the bypass function:
1. Raise the forks off the ground and extend the reach if possible.
2. Switch off the engine.
Caution
Only tow the truck out of the immediate danger zone. Longer towing
distances and high towing speeds will damage the drive pump.
The maximum permissible towing speed of 2 km/h should not be exceeded.
During and after towing the drive pump will be hot. Wear protective clothing.
