UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual page 74

• When it is not necessary to preheat the engine because of high
engine coolant temperature immediately after it stops or for some
other reason, the engine can be started by turning the ignition
switch to the START position before the glow plug indicator light
turns off.
• If the glow pilot light is not illuminated, malfunction may exist.
Contact your Local Authorized Dealer to inspect the lift truck.
6. Make sure that the meter panel is on and that there is no warning
light illuminated or a malfunction displayed.
7. Check horn operation; if it does not work do not operate the
truck. Always sound horn at blind corners and intersections before
proceeding to travel.
!
WARNING
• Always be sure that all body parts are kept within the
operator's compartment.
8. Check the lift/lower/tilt functions. Report any malfunctions.
!
WARNING
• Always perform operational checks in a clear area.
9. Once the forks are lowered, place the selector lever in the desired
direction of travel. The mast should be tilted back and the forks
should be raised approximately 200 mm (8 in) above the ground.
!
• Avoid quick steering or acceleration as this may cause an
accident, which could result in serious injury or death.
• Because the movement of a lift truck is different from that of
a passenger car, in case of taking a turn, sufficiently lower
the speed and look around.
• Do not make a turn with the forks lifted high or at a high
speed. It may cause a serious accident: for example, the lift
truck becomes unbalanced and tips over.
10. Check the steering function during travel testing. The smaller the
radius of a turn to be made, the lower the speed of the lift truck
should be. When making a sharp turn, always drive the lift truck at a
low speed.
