Parking the Lift Truck
NOTE: Park the lift truck level with the fork lowered
and the mast tilted forward until the fork
touches the floor. Block the drive wheels
when parking on an incline.
1. Park in an authorized area only. Do not block
traffic. If LP equipped, do not park near elevator
shafts or any other area where LP could collect
in a pocket (low area), causing a potentially
dangerous condition.
2. Place the transmission controls in NEUTRAL.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Tilt the mast forward and lower the fork to the
ground.
WARNING
Blocking the wheels will prevent unexpected lift
truck movement, which could cause personal
injury.
5. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the OFF
position and remove the key.
NOTE: If a LP equipped lift truck is stopped or
parked for an indefinite or prolonged
period of time, shut off the LP fuel tank
valve.

remove the residual pressure in the respective
cylinders and hoses.
