Changing Travel Direction; Stopping Travel; Shut Down Procedure - Xtreme Manufacturing XRM945 Operation & Safety Manual

Operation
The rear axle lock indicator illuminates when the forklift
is in the axle lock mode. The rear axle locks when the
parking brake is set to ON (engaged), the transmission is
in NEUTRAL or the service brake applied, and when the
boom is above 40°.
If the rear axle lock indicator does not illuminate, stop
the forklift, follow proper shut down procedures, tag the
forklift with "Do Not Operate" tags, and have a qualified
mechanic service or repair the forklift before placing it
into service again.

pedal. If necessary, shift to a lower gear to help
slow the forklift.
2. Move the travel select lever to FORWARD (F) or
REVERSE (R).
