on the ground, apply the parking brake and place the forward/reverse selector in neutral.
- Make sure that the lift truck is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at less than one
meter from the track of a railway.

liquid and oil to lower the temperature of the engine and transmission. Do not forget this precaution, in the event of
frequent stops or warm stalling of the engine, or else the temperature of certain parts will rise significantly due to the
stopping of the cooling system, with the risk of badly damaging such parts.
