8. Move the mini-levers forward and backward, and check
the hydraulic system for leaks.
Stopping
Stop the lift truck as gradually as possible. Hard braking and
wheel sliding can cause the forklift to tip or the load to fall off
of the forks and damage the load or hurt someone.
Parking
The operator must never leave a lift truck in a condition so
that it can cause damage and injury. When parking the lift
truck, do the following operations:
1. Stop the lift truck and apply the parking brake. Applying
the parking brake puts the transmission in NEUTRAL when
the lift truck has a Foot Directional Control pedal.
2. Fully lower the forks or carriage. Tilt mast forward until the
tips of the forks touch the ground.
3. If equipped, move the Direction Control Lever to the NEU-
TRAL position.
4. Turn the key to the OFF position to stop the engine.
5. If the lift truck must be left on an incline, put blocks on the
down hill side of the wheels so that the lift truck can not move.
6. Check engine compartment, if operating in areas contain-
ing combustible material, and remove foreign debris. See
FIRE HAZARD WARNING at the beginning of this section.
7. If the lift truck is equipped with an LPG fuel system and the
lift truck is not in active use, close the fuel valve at the tank.
If the lift truck is going to be left over night or longer, the truck
must be parked outside or the LPG tank must be removed
and stored outside.
Do not park the lift truck so that it limits access to fire aisles,
stairways, and fire equipment.
