14 - DIAGNOSTIC PLUG
15 - ACCELERATOR PEDAL
16 - SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL AND TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF
The pedal acts on the front and rear wheels via a power assisted hydraulic braking system that slows the lift truck and brings
it to a halt. Depending on the position of the transmission cut-off switch, it enables the transmission to be cut off during
the free travel.
17 - GEAR LEVER AND TRANSMISSION CUT-OFF
In order to change gear, it is necessary to cut off the transmission by pressing button 1
on the lever.
USING THE GEARS ON THE GEAR BOX
On lift trucks such as these, that are equipped with torque converters, it is not necessary
to systematically set off in first gear and work up through the gears.
The gear box ratio selection should be made carefully depending on the work to be performed.
A poor choice may result in the extremely rapid rise of the gear box oil temperature through excessive slipping of the
converter, which could lead to serious gearbox damage (it is essential to stop and change the working conditions if
the gear box oil temperature indicator lamp comes on).
This poor choice may also result in the forklift truck's performance deteriorating in forward gear. When the forward force increases, the forward speed in the r ratio
(for example, in 3rd gear) may be lower than the forward speed that could be obtained with the r-1 gear (in 2nd instead of 3rd).
In general, we would advise you to use the following gears according to the nature of the work being carried out.
• ON THE ROAD: Set off in 3rd gear and change up to 4th if the conditions and state of the road permit it. In hilly areas,
set off in 2nd gear and change up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• WITH A TRAILER ON THE ROAD: Set off in 2nd gear and change up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• HANDLING: Use 3rd gear. In confined spaces use 2nd gear.
• LOADING (picking-up with bucket, manure fork, etc.): Use 2nd gear.
• EARTH MOVING: Use 1st gear.
18 - PARKING BRAKE LEVER
To prevent accidental loosening or release, the lever is fitted with safety locking.
- To apply the parking brake, pull the lever backwards (position A).
- To loosen the parking brake, release and push the lever forwards (position B).
