G - STOPPING THE LIFT TRUCK

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Never leave the ignition key in the lift truck during the operator's absence.
- When the lift truck is stationary, or if the operator has to leave his cab (even for a moment), place the forks or attachment
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.
- In the event of prolonged parking on a site, protect the lift truck from bad weather, particularly from frost (check the
level of antifreeze), close and lock all the lift truck accesses (doors, windows, cowls, etc.).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Park the lift truck on flat ground or on an incline lower than 15%.
- Set the forward/reverse selector to neutral.
- Engage the parking brake.
- For lift trucks with gearboxes, place the gear lever in neutral.
- Lower the forks or attachment to rest on the ground.
- When using an attachment with a grab or jaws, or a bucket with hydraulic opening, close the attachment fully.
- Before stopping the lift truck after a long working period, leave the I.C. engine idling for a few moments, to allow the
coolant liquid and oil to lower the temperature of the I.C. engine and transmission. Do not forget this precaution, in the
event of frequent stops or warm stalling of the I.C. 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.
- Stop the engine with the ignition switch.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Lock all the accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls...).
- For lift trucks operating on gas carburization, shut the LPG bottle. For a long lasting stop, let the engine stop naturally by
shutting the LPG bottle before switching off the ignition, so as to eliminate all the fuel in the feed tube.
