- Never leave the ignition key in the lift truck when the lift truck is unattended.
- When the lift truck is stationary, place the forks or attachment on the ground, place the gear lever in neutral (As model
of lift truck), apply the parking brake and put the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- If the driver has to leave his cab, even for a moment, it is essential to place the gear lever in neutral (As model of lift
truck), apply the parking brake and put the forward/reverse lever in neutral.
- Make sure that the lift truck is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at least 6 feet from
the track of a railway.
- In the event of prolonged parking on a site, protect the lift truck from bad weather, particularly from frost (Check the
level of antifreeze), close the rear window, lock the cab door and ensure that the hood is properly secured.
