4.5 Parking the truck securely
WARNING!
Switching off an LPG truck under ground level areas could result in explosions.
LPG is heavier than air. An explosive LPG/air mixture could therefore form under
ground level areas without sufficient ventilation.
XLPG trucks may only be switched off in ground level rooms or higher and providing
they are adequately ventilated. They must not be switched off near to cellar doors
and entry points, hollows, drains, drain inlets or other recesses below the parked
truck.
WARNING!
An unsecured truck can cause accidents
Parking the truck on an incline, without the brakes applied or with a raised load / load
handler is dangerous and is strictly prohibited.
XAlways park the truck on a level surface. In special cases the truck may need to be
secured with wedges.
XAlways fully lower the mast and load handler.
XTilt the mast forward.
XAlways apply the parking brake button before parking the truck.
XChoose a place to park where no other people are at risk of injury from lowering
forks.
XDo not park and abandon a truck on an incline.
Parking and leaving the truck
Procedure
• Lower the load handler.
• Tilt the mast forward.
• Turn the key in the key switch (81) to the
“0” position.
• Remove the key from the key switch (81).
• Press the Emergency Disconnect (80).
• Close the shutoff valve on LPG bottles and
on the LPG tank (TFG only).
Z TFG only: If the key is set to “0” while the
engine is running, the engine will continue
to run for a short time. This ensures that the remaining gas in the lines between the
engine and the automatic shutoff valve of the LPG system is used up. If the engine
has accidentally switched off, start up the engine and switch it off again in the
correct manner at the end of the journey.
