Manitou MT 1435 EASY 75D ST3B S1 User Manual

2 - 52
17 - ACCELERATOR PEDAL
18 - SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL
The pedal acts on the front and rear wheels by a power assisted hydraulic brake system, and allows the lift truck to be slowed
down and stopped.
19 - FORWARD/NEUTRAL/REVERSE GEAR SELECTION
Authorisation to use the gear selector is given by validation of driver presence (see:
2 - DESCRIPTION: 6 - MAN-MACHINE-INTERFACE MMI).
When changing the direction of travel, the lift truck should be traveling at slow speed
and not accelerating.
• FORWARD GEAR: Push the switch forward (position A), the indicator light A1 will
flash and then remain steady when you press the accelerator
pedal.
• REVERSE: Push the switch backward (position B), the indicator light B1 will flash
then remain steady when you press the accelerator pedal. Reversing
lights and an acoustic reversing alarm indicate that the forklift truck
is reversing.
• NEUTRAL: Set the switch to the centre position (position C), the indicator light
C1 will come on and the handbrake is applied (by default).
NOTE: An indicator light that flashes while the forklift truck is in use indicates a fault
(see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: 6D - SCREEN DISPLAY: MENU SCREEN).
20 - GEAR LEVER
In order to change gear, it is necessary to cut the transmission by pressing button 1 on
the lever.
• 1st gear: To the left, backwards.
• 2nd gear: To the left, forwards.
• 3rd gear: To the right, backwards.
• 4th gear: To the right, forwards.
CONDITION FOR USING THE TRANSMISSION GEAR RATIOS
NOTE: On these forklift trucks with a torque converter, it is not necessary to start
automatically in 1st gear and progress up the gears.

IMPORTANT

The gearbox ratio selection should be made carefully depending on the work to be performed.
A poor choice may result in the extremely rapid rise of the gearbox oil temperature through excessive slipping of the converter, which could lead to serious damage
(itisessential to stop and change the working conditions if the gearbox oil temperature indicator lamp comes on).
This poor choice may also result in the forklift truck's performance deteriorating in forward gear. When the forward force increases, the forward speed in the r ratio
(forexample, in 3rd gear) may be lower than the forward speed that could be obtained with the r-1 gear (in 2nd instead of 3rd).
In general, we would advise you to use the following gears according to the nature of the work being carried out.
• On the road: Set off in 3rd gear and change up to 4th if the conditions and state of the road permit it. In mountainous
areas, set off in 2nd gear and change up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• With a trailer on the road: Set off in 2nd gear and move to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• Handling: 3rd gear.
2nd gear in narrow spaces.
• Earth moving: 1st gear.
• Loading (reclaiming with bucket, manure fork, etc.): 2nd gear.
