18 - FORWARD/NEUTRAL/REVERSE GEAR SELECTION
FORWARD: Push the knob forward (position A).
REVERSE: Pull the knob backwards (position B).
NEUTRAL: The knob must be in the intermediate position to start the lift truck (position
C).
When operating this control, the lift truck should be travelling at slow speed and not accelerating.
NOTE: The reverse lights indicate that the lift truck is running in reverse motion. An
OPTIONAL audible reversing alarm can also be fitted.
SAFETY FOR MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK
Authorisation to move the lift truck is controlled by an electronic unit. The operator must
observe the following sequence to move the truck forwards or backwards:
1 - sit down correctly in the driver’s seat,
2 - release the parking brake,
3 - engage forward or reverse movement.
To stop the lift truck, he must observe the following sequence:
1 - Set the forward/reverse selector to neutral,
2 - engage the parking brake,
3 - get out of the lift truck.
NOTE: If the operator leaves the driving cab with forward or reverse engaged, a continuous alarm will sound. While this alarm
sounds, the operator can simply sit back in the seat and continue advancing or reversing.
If the alarm becomes discontinuous, the operator must sit back in the seat, put the forward/reverse selector back in
neutral and select forward or reverse if he wishes to continue moving.
19 - STEERING SELECTION
A - GREEN WHEEL ALIGNMENT LAMPS
These lamps come on to indicate the alignment of the wheels in relation to the lift truck.
Lamp A1 for the front wheels and lamp A2 for the rear wheels.
Before selecting one of the three possible steering positions, bring all 4 wheels into alignment with
regards to the lift truck axle. Never change the steering mode whilst driving.
B - STEERING SELECTION LEVER
B1 - Front drive wheels (highway traffic).
B2 - Front and rear drive wheels in opposite direction (short steering lock).
B3 - Front and rear drive wheels in the same direction (crab steering).
C - SWITCH FOR ALIGNMENT OF THE WHEELS
This switch enables the use or not of the device for alignment of the wheels. The indicator
light indicates its use.
CONTROL FOR ALIGNMENT OF THE WHEELS
- Connect the switch (signal light ON).
- Shift the steering selection lever B into position B2 (short steering lock).
- Turn the steering wheel and bring the rear wheels into alignment until lamp A2 lights up.
- Shift the steering selection lever B into position B1 (highway traffic).
- Turn the steering wheel and bring the front wheels into alignment until lamp A1 lights
up.
Before driving on roads, it is necessary to check the alignment of the rear wheels and to drive in front
wheel steer. The control of the alignment of the rear wheels must be regularly done with the help of the
green lamps, while driving the lift truck. In case of anomalies, consult your dealer.
