HOISTING THE VEHICLE

When hoisting the vehicle, use the mast hook on the front of
the vehicle and a wire net on the rear wheel.
Caution:
• Use wire ropes having sufficient strength.
• Never hoist the forklift by the weight hook holes or
head guard.

CAUTION FOR TOWING

1. When towing the forklift, always lift the rear wheels away
from the ground.
2. The traveling speed in towing must not exceed the
maximum traveling speed of the forklift.
3. Always set the key switch to OFF and the direction
switch to the neutral position before starting towing.
In case of towing by connection with a wire rope with the
operator on the forklift, however, set the key switch to
ON (PS operation) and always set the direction switch to
the neutral position.
4. Before towing, either remove the fork or take an action
to prevent fork contact with the ground due to bounding.
