Driving on ascending and descending
gradients
WARNING
Risk of accident due to the drive unit switching off!
Driving up and down longer gradients can cause the
drive unit to overheat and switch off. The truck will
then no longer decelerate when the accelerator ped-
al is released and will coast.
Driving up and down longer gradients greater than
15% is not permitted due to the minimum specified
braking values. The climbing capability values given
below apply only to negotiating obstacles on the
roadway and to temporary differences in level, e.g.
HGV ramps.
– Consult the authorised service centre before driv-
ing on long ascending and descending gradients
greater than 15%.
NOTE
The values specified in the "Maximum climb-
ing capability" table can be used only to com-
pare the performance of forklift trucks in the
same category. The specified values in no
way represent the normal daily operating con-
ditions.
Trucks can theoretically be driven on the as-
cending and descending gradients specified in
the following table.
