IFT TRUCK ON A PLATFORM
Ensure that the safety instructions connected to the platform are respected before
the loading of the lift truck and that the driver of the means of transport is informed
about the dimensions and the weight of the lift truck (See chapter :
CHARACTERISTICS in paragraph : 2 - DESCRIPTION).
Ensure that the platform has got dimensions and a load capacity sufficient for
transporting the lift truck. Check also the pressure on the contact surface allowable
for the platform in connection with the lift truck.
For lift trucks equipped with a turbo-charged I.C. engine, block off the exhaust outlet
to avoid rotation of the turbo shaft without lubrication when transporting the vehicle.

- Fix the loading ramps so that you obtain an angle as little as possible to lift the lift
truck.
- Load the lift truck parallel to the platform.
- Stop the lift truck (See chapter : DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS in paragraph : 1 -
OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS).
STOW THE LIFT TRUCK
- Fix the chocks to the platform at the front and at the back of each tyre (Fig. G5/1).
- Fix also the chocks to the platform in the inside of each tyre (Fig. G5/2).
- Stow the lift truck on the platform with enough resisting ropes. At the front of the lift
truck, on the fastening points 1 (Fig. G5/3) and at the back, on the towing pin 2 (Fig.
G5/4).
- Tighten the ropes (Fig. G5/5).
