The use of
oils
with
suitable
SAE
viscosity in
view of ambient temperatures
is
recommended
for
cold
starts.
Consult the instructions and maintenance manual of the manufacturer of the engine for
this
purpose.
Cold starting the engine:
-Set the FNR switch to neutral.
-Select the starter switch to ignition and wait
until
the resistance pre-heating indicator goes out.
Press the
accelerator pedal to the floor and start the engine by turning the starter switch to the
start position. Once the engine
has started, release the switch and reduce engine speed to
idle.
Wait for a few minutes before starting operation, to allow the engine oil to heat gradually and optimise lubrication.
START-UP OF THE MACHINE
Once the engine has reached service temperature, check that all controls are set to their resting posi- tions and that the
FNR switch is set to neutral. Proceed as follows:
-
Select forward/reverse as required.
-
Release the parking brake.
-
Gradually apply pressure to the accelerator pedal to start movement.
Do
not activate the forwards/reverse selector while the machine is moving. The machine would
suddenly
change direction, putting the operator in real danger.
PARKING THE FORKLIFT AND CUTTING THE ENGINE
Always park the
forklift
on level ground, either at the end of the day or in order to carry out any main-tenance work, as follows:
-
Gradually release the accelerator pedal
and apply light pressure on the service brake
pedal.
-
Set the
FNR
switch to neutral.
-
Put the parking brake on.
-
Release the service brake pedal.
-
Lower the attachment fitted on the horizontal arm to the ground.
-
Run the engine at idle for 1 minute, if the forklift has been working at full load. Turn the starter key
to position “0”,
remove the key and take the key with you. Never leave the key
in
the parked
forklift.
-
Lower
the driver’s
cab and
lock using the
cab door key
(if fitted).
-
Chocking the wheels with suitable blocks is also recommended.
