Towing Pin And Hook - Manitou MT732ST38 Operating And Safety Instructions Manual

TOWING PIN AND HOOK

Using a trailer that is not in good condition may affect the steering and braking of the lift truck and therefore the safety of the whole unit.
If a third party helps in coupling or uncoupling the trailer, this person must remain visible to the driver at all times and must wait until the lift truck has stopped,
Located at the rear of the lift truck, this device is used to attach a trailer. Its capacity is limited for each lift truck by the authorized
gross vehicle weight, tractive effort and maximum vertical force on the coupling point. This information is indicated on the
manufacturer's plate affixed to each lift truck (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: IDENTIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK).
- To use a trailer, see current regulations in your country (maximum running speed, braking, maximum weight of trailer, etc.).
- Verify the trailer's condition before using it (tire condition and pressures, electrical connection, hydraulic hose, brake
system...).
