Parking Brake Lever - UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual

!
CAUTION
• Always depress the brake pedal before operating the
selector lever.
• Before the lift truck comes to a full stop, do not change the
driving direction by operating the lever. Doing so applies
excessive force to the drive system and may cause it
to break down. Moreover, a rapid change of the driving
direction may cause cargos to fall down or make it difficult
for the operator to maintain a correct driving posture.
• When stopping the lift truck temporarily with the selector
lever left in the neutral position, be sure to set the
parking brake lever to prevent the lift truck from moving
unexpectedly.
!
WARNING
• The selector lever should always be in the neutral position
(not the forward or reverse position) before the ignition
switch is moved to the ON position.
• Always return the selector lever to the neutral position at the
completion of lift truck operation.
NOTE:
On lift trucks equipped with a back-up buzzer (standard in North
America), the buzzer will sound whenever the transmission is in the
reverse position.

PARKING BRAKE LEVER

To set the parking brake, fully pull
the lever towards you. To release the
parking brake, push down the button
on top of the lever and then push the
lever forward. Before leaving the lift
truck, be sure to apply the parking
brake securely.
When parking the lift truck on a slope, fully pull the lever towards you
and set a chock behind each wheel.
NOTE:
The transmission will not shift to forward (F) or reverse (R) while
the parking brake is engaged (set). To resume operation, sit on the
operator's seat, fasten the seat belt and then shift the selector lever to
the neutral (N) position. Release the parking brake and then shift the
selector lever to forward (F) or reverse (R).
!
• Always depress the brake or inching pedal before releasing
the parking brake to avoid movement of the lift truck before
selecting a direction of travel.
NOTE:
To remind the operator to apply the parking brake, an alarm will sound
if:
• The operator leaves the operator's seat without applying the parking
brake while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
• The operator turns off the ignition switch without applying the
parking brake, regardless of whether the operator is sitting in the
operator's seat.
