Closing The Engine Hood; Fork Stopper - Komatsu AX20 Operation & Maintenance Manual

21.2

CLOSING THE ENGINE HOOD

Be careful not to get your hand caught when opening or closing the hood.
1. Lift the engine hood up slightly with your right hand, push in the stop-
per with your left hand, then lower the engine hood slowly and check
that the lock is applied.
2. Lift the steering wheel lock lever, pull the steering column back to its
original position, then return the lock lever to its original locked posi-
tion.
It is dangerous to operate the lift truck with the steering column pushed forward because the
steering wheel will not be fixed in position. Always be sure to return the steering column to its
original position and check that the lock is securely applied.

FORK STOPPER

LOCK position
The forks are secured to the fork carriage. Always use this position
during operations.
FREE Position
The forks can be moved to the left and right, so it is possible to adjust
the spread of the forks to match the size of the load.
NOTICE
See "FORK SPREAD ADJUSTMENT" on page 3-37 for details
about the adjustment method.
