Key-lift interlock
(SAS models)
As long as the engine has stopped, the vehicle is
so designed that the lift will not move down even
if so operated.
If the engine should fail to start up for any rea-
son, the lift may be moved down by unfastening
the manual move-down valve located on the top
of the oil control valve.
Note: Once the fork has been moved down with
the manual move-down valve applied, do not
fail to fasten the valve and recover its original
condition.
Tilt lever
Tilts the mast forward and backward.
Forward ..................................... Push forward
Backward ................................ Pull backward
The forward or backward tilting speed can be
adjusted by the degrees of accelerator pedal
depression and lever operating stroke.
Tilt lever knob switch
(SAS models)
With this switch pressed, change tilting from
backward to forward and the fork will automati-
cally stop at its horizontal position.
It is also possible to slow down the backward
tilt speed at a low lift.
Automatic fork leveling control
With the fork positioned at the backward lift,
use the lever to tilt the fork forward while press-
ing the tilt lever knob. Then, the mast can be
automatically stopped, with the fork horizontally
positioned. This feature will be conveniently
usable to pull in and out the fork while stacking
a load.
Motion upon change of tilt from backward to
forward, with tilt lever knob switch pressed:
Not Loaded Loaded
High Lift Fork stopped at its horizontal
position (with mast vertically
positioned)
Low Lift Fork stopped at its horizontal position
(with mast vertically positioned)
Active mast rear tilt speed control
Tilt the fork backward while pressing the tilt
lever knob switch. As long as this switch remains
pressed, the fork is slowed down while being
tilted backward. Unless the switch is pressed,
moreover, the backward tilting speed will be
lower at a high lift.

(Option)
Note: Cargo handling is possible only when the
operator is seated and the engine is running.
Lift lever
Raise and lower the forks for loading.
Raise ......................................... Pull backward
Lower .........................................Push forward
Raising speed can be adjusted by the extent of
pressing the accelerator pedal and pulling the
lift lever.
Lowering speed can be adjusted by the extent
of pushing the lift lever.
Note:
• As with standard models, with “mini lever”
models, as long as the engine is stopped, vehi-
cle is so designed that the forks do not move
down even if you operate the lift lever (Key off
lift lock).
• When the forks do not move down due to fail-
ure and other reasons, they can be lowered by
unfastening the lift lock release bolt.
• If you lower the forks by unfastening the lift
lock release bolt, make sure to refasten it.
