How to Move a Disabled Lift Truck
This lift truck is not normally towed. If the traction system
will not operate, make repairs at the location if possible. If
the lift truck must be towed, the brake MUST be released,
refer to the Maintenance Manual.
WARNING
Never carry a disabled lift truck unless the lift truck
MUST be moved. The lift truck used to lift the disabled
lift truck MUST have a rated capacity equal to or
greater than the weight of the disabled lift truck. The
capacity must be for a load center equal to half the
width of the disabled lift truck. See the capacity plate
on the disabled lift truck for the approximate total
weight. The forks must extend the full width of the dis-
abled lift truck. Put the weight of the disabled lift truck
at the center of the forks and be careful not to damage
the under side of the disabled lift truck. Tilt the mast
back and travel slowly.
WARNING
Make sure no one except the driver is near the lift
trucks during towing. Both the tow truck and the disa-
bled truck can cause a personal injury during towing.

1. Brake does not operate correctly.
2. Steering does not operate correctly.
3. Tire is damaged.
4. Traction conditions are bad.
WARNING
Never carry the lift truck faster than the speed of a per-
son walking. Steering can be difficult and motor dam-
age can occur at higher speeds. Always travel
smoothly without sudden starts.
The electric brake must be released before the lift truck can
be moved. If there is not sufficient battery power, placing
