Instructions
- Make sure that the forward/reverse lever is in neutral.
- Turn the ignition key to the position I to activate the electrical system.
- Check the level on the fuel level gauge.
- Turn the ignition key to position II to preheat for 15 seconds. (If the environmental
conditions require it).
Do not engage the starter motor for more than 15 seconds and carry out the preheating
for 10 seconds between unsuccessful attempts.
- 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.
- Before operating in very cold environment wait for the I.C. engine and hydraulic sys-
tems to heat up adequately.
- 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 operations.
D - Driving the lift truck
Safety notice
- Always drive the lift truck with the forks or attachment at approximately 300 mm from
the ground, i.e. In the transport position.
- Familiarise 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 ter-
rain.
- 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.
- Always remember that hydraulic type steering is extremely sensitive to movement of
the steering wheel, so turn it gently and not jerkily.
- 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.
- Never use the truck in places poorly lighted.
- 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 round obstacles.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked :
• That it is suitably positioned and madefast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (Wagon, lorry, 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.
Take extreme care with loading platforms, trenches, scaffolding, recently dug and/or
backfilled ground.
- The loaded lift truck must not travel at speeds in excess of 10 km/h.
