aisles.
¾ Starting and driving.

The steering wheel can be moved beyond

The forklift truck must not be driven if the steering
system is defective.
If the steering is stiff or has too much play, contact
your authorised dealer.
Brake system

from gentle to hard braking.
NOTE
For emergency braking, press the stop pedal
(2) positioned between the accelerator pedals.
This will result in full application of the brake.
Stop pedal
The stop pedal (2) is not a sensitive service
