11. SAFE TRAVEL
2-11
Always observe the following:
• Never operate the lift truck from outside the operator's compartment.
• Always keep your body under the overhead guard.
• Do not extend your arms and legs outside the operator's compartment.
ALWAYS SIT IN OPERATOR'S SEAT
• Always wear your seat belt correctly when on the operator's seat. The seat
belt will reduce the risk of injury.
• Always check the seat belt mounts and check for any damage to the seat belt
itself. If any abnormality is found, repair or replace the seat belt immediately.
SEAT BELT
• Before starting and moving the lift truck, check that the surrounding
area is safe.
• Before moving the lift truck, raise the forks (approximately 8 in. (20 cm)
from the ground surface), and tilt the mast back.
• Before moving the lift truck, release the parking brake.
SAFETY WHEN STARTING
• Do not stop the engine when traveling. If the engine is stopped, the power steering (for lift trucks with
power steering) and power brake (for trucks with power brakes) will not work.
• If the inching pedal is depressed, the braking effect of the engine will be lost.
• Do not use the brake excessively. Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal or inching pedal unless you are
operating it. If you do, the brake will overheat and the braking effect will be lost. For TORQFLOW lift
trucks, if you leave your foot on the inching pedal, the multiple disc clutch inside the transmission will
overheat. In the worst case, the clutch discs will be deformed and the clutch will not function normally.
