G8 - LIFT TRUCK ON A PLATFORM

Ensure that the safety instructions connected to the platform are respected before the loading of the lift
truck and that the driver of the means of transport is informed about the dimensions and the weight of
the lift truck (see : 2 - DESCRIPTION : CHARACTERISTICS).
Ensure that the platform has got dimensions and a load capacity sufficient for transporting the lift truck.
Check also the pressure on the contact surface allowable for the platform in connection with the lift
truck.
For lift trucks equipped with a turbo-charged I.C. engine, block off the exhaust outlet to avoid rotation of
the turbo shaft without lubrication when transporting the vehicle.

truck.
