- Press the accelerator pedal and turn the ignition key fully: the I.C. engine should then start. Release the ignition key
and let the I.C. engine run at idle.
- Check all control instruments immediately after starting up, when the I.C. engine is warm and at regular intervals during
use, so as to quickly detect any faults and to be able to correct them without any delay.
- If an instrument does not show the correct display, stop the I.C. engine and immediately carry out the necessary repairs.
D - DRIVING THE LIFT TRUCK
SAFETY NOTICE
- Always drive the lift truck with the forks or attachment at approximately 300 mm (12 in) from the ground, i.e. In the
transport position.
- Familiarize yourself with the lift truck on the terrain where it will be used.
- Ensure that the service brakes and the sound alarm are working properly.
- Drive according to, and at an appropriate speed for, the conditions and state of the terrain.
- Slow down before executing a turn.
- In all circumstances make sure you are in control of your speed.
- On damp, slippery or uneven terrain, drive slowly.
- Brake gently, never abruptly.
- Only use the lift truck’s forward/reverse lever from a stationary position and never do so abruptly.
- Do not drive with your foot on the brake pedal or with the parking brake on.
- Always remember that hydrostatic type steering is extremely sensitive to movement of the steering wheel, so turn it
gently and not abruptly.
- Never leave the I.C. engine on when the lift truck is unattended.
- Look in the direction you are travelling and always keep clear visibility of the road. Use the left and right rear view
mirrors frequently and ensure that they are kept in good condition, are clean and correctly adjusted.
- When working at night, ensure that your lift truck is fitted with full beam lights. There are optional solutions, consult your
agent or dealer.
- Drive around obstacles.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked :
. That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
. That the unit to which it is connected (tractor-trailer, etc.) will not shift.
. That this platform is prescribed for the total weight of the lift truck to be loaded.
. That this platform is prescribed for the width of the lift truck.
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the weight and size
of the lift truck to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- The loaded lift truck must not travel at speeds in excess of 12 km/h (7.5 mph).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Raise the forks or attachment to the transport position approximately 300 mm (12 in) from the ground.
- Engage the gear required (See INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS in SECTION 2 - DESCRIPTION).
- Select the desired steering mode.
- Shift the forward/reverse lever to the desired direction of travel.
