G - STOPPING THE LIFT TRUCK
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Never leave the ignition key in the lift truck during the operator's absence.
- When the lift truck is stationary, or if the operator has to leave the cab (even for a moment), place the forks or attachment
on the ground, apply the parking brake and place the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Make sure that the lift truck is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at less than one
metre 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 and lock all the lift truck accesses (doors, windows, cowls, etc.).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Park the lift truck on flat ground or on an incline lower than 15%.
- Place the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Lower the forks or attachment to rest on the ground.
- When using an attachment with a grab or jaws, or a bucket with hydraulic opening, close the attachment fully.
- Before stopping the lift truck after a period of intensive operation, leave the engine idling for a few moments, to allow the
coolant liquid and oil to cool the engine and the transmission. Take this precaution, in the event of frequent shutdown
or hot stalling of the engine. The temperature of certain parts will rise considerably due to non-operation of the cooling
system, with a risk of serious damage.
- Stop the engine with the ignition switch.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Lock all the accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls…).
H - DRIVING THE LIFT TRUCK ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY
FRENCH ROAD TRAFFIC RULES
(or see current legislation in other countries)
- The driving of non-approved lift trucks on the public highway is subject to the provisions of the highway code relating to
special machines, defined in article R311-1 of the highway code, in category B of the Equipment Order of 20 November
1969 that determines the procedures applicable to special machines. The lift truck must be fitted with a number plate.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Operators driving on the public highway must comply with current highway code legislation.
- The lift truck must comply with current road legislation. If necessary, there are optional solutions. Contact your dealer.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure the revolving light is in place, switch it on and verify its operation.
- Make sure the lights, indicators and windscreen wipers are working properly.
- Switch off the working headlights if the lift truck is fitted with them.
- Place the attachment 300mm from the ground.
IMPORTANT
Never travel in neutral (forward/reverse selector in neutral) so as not to lose the lift truck's engine brake.
Failure to observe this instruction on a slope will lead to excessive speed which may make the lift truck uncontrollable (steering, brakes) and cause serious mechanical
damage.
DRIVING THE LIFT TRUCK WITH A FRONT-MOUNTED ATTACHMENT
- You must comply with current regulations in your country, covering the possibility of driving on the public highway with
a front-mounted attachment on your lift truck.
- If road legislation in your country authorises circulation with a front-mounted attachment, you must at least:
• Protect and report any sharp and/or dangerous edges on the attachment (
OPTIONAL ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS
FOR THE RANGE: ATTACHMENT GUARDS).
• The attachment must not be loaded.
• Make sure that the attachment does not mask the lighting range of the forward lights.
• Make sure that current legislation in your country does not require other obligations.
OPERATING THE LIFT TRUCK WITH A TRAILER
- This lift truck is not intended for use with a trailer.
IF NECESSARY, CONTACT YOUR DEALER.
