Shut Down Procedure
Warning
Always engage the parking brake before leaving the
telehandler. The telehandler can roll if the parking
brake is not ON (engaged), which could result in
death, serious injury, or property damage.
1. Park telehandler on level ground, if possible.
2. Stop the telehandler by applying the service brake
pedal.
3. Place the travel select lever in NEUTRAL (N) and set
the parking brake to ON (engaged).
4. Lower the boom and rest carriage on ground.
5. Turn the ignition key to OFF and remove the key.
6. If the telehandler is parked on an incline, block the
wheels.
7. Depending on the situation, you may choose to use
the Battery Disconnect Switches. However, you
should wait 2 minutes after the engine is shut down
before disconnecting the battery with the switch.
This operation is necessary so that the engine ECU
has enough time to write the data from the volatile
memory after the engine is off. THROWING THE
BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCHES TOO EARLY
MAY CONFUSE THE ECU IF THE WRITING PRO-
CESS IS NOT COMPLETED.
8. Turn the Fuel Shut-off Valve to the OFF (Closed)
position. It is located on the engine tray in the front.
