OPERATINGPROCEDURES
49
When entering a railroad car the operator can enter at an
angle (if the dock plate or bridge is wide enough). This will
reduce the turning required after entering.
ATTACHMENTS
If an attachment is installed on the lift truck, make sure the
operating
instructions are avail-
able and understood
before operating the
attachment. See
TABLE 3. for the op-
eration of attachment
control levers.
WARNING
Make sure the Nameplate is correct if an attachment
has been installed.
STOPPING
Stop the lift truck as gradually as possible. Hard braking
and wheel sliding can cause the load to fall off of the forks
and damage the load or hurt someone.
PARKING
The operator must never leave a lift truck in a condition so
that it can cause damage and injury. When parking the lift
truck, do the following operations:
1. Stop the lift truck and apply the parking brake.
2. Fully lower the forks or carriage. Tilt the mast forward
until the tips of the forks touch the ground.
3. Put the direction control lever for the powershift transmis-
sion in NEUTRAL. If the lift truck has a manual transmis-
sion, leave the gears of the transmission engaged. DO NOT
leave a manual transmission in NEUTRAL.
4.Turn the key switch to OFF to stop the engine.
5. If the lift truck must be left on an incline, put blocks on the
down hill side of the wheels so that the lift truck can not
move.
