Toyota 7FG35 Operator's Manual page 4

• Park lift truck with rear end at least 12" away
from lumber, veneer board, paper products and
other similar materials to avoid discoloration,
deformation or combustion of those materials.
• Avoid touching the rotating parts. Touching
these parts (fan, belt chain, etc.) could cause
injury. So take great care to never touch them.
• Please note that the vehicle is hot after
traveling. The engine, muffler and exhaust bulb
become very hot; touching these parts could
cause burn. So take care to handle them.
Precautions to be taken when using
SAS Models
(SAS: System of Active Stability)
Caution
• Whenever you may get on an SAS model,
please check the caution plate, through which
you may know what functional features are
provided in the vehicle. Do not proceed to an
operation of the vehicle before making cer-
tain that each of the features is operating
properly.
• Example: These symbols indicate that the
vehicle is not provided with such controls as
active mast front tilt angle control.
• While driving the vehicle, be normally alert
about a warning lamp. Should an error code
be indicated by a warning lamp or hour-
meter, park the vehicle at a safe location and
ask a Toyota dealer for an inspection.
• The SAS, which is electronically controlled,
need be initialized after completion of a main-
tenance operation. Do not unnecessarily re-
move or modify any SAS features. Whenever
an inspection may be necessary, make con-
tact with a Toyota dealer.
• When washing the vehicle, carefully pre-
vent water from splashing directly over the
electronics (controller, sensor and switches)
employed in the SAS.
Description of features available in
SAS models
Active control rear stabilizer:
When the vehicle makes a turn on the spot, a
centrifugal force will be generated in the lateral
direction of the vehicle. In such event, this fea-
ture will operate so that rear wheels will be
locked from swinging to support the vehicle on
four wheels. Thus, the vehicular stability will
be enhanced in both right and left directions.
Caution
With the vehicle locked from swinging, the
stability does surely increase. Nevertheless, it
does not signify that the vehicle would never
tipover. Operate the vehicle always correctly.
Automatic fork leveling control
• With the vehicle not loaded, tilt the mast for-
ward while pressing the tilt lever knob switch.
This will cause the fork to automatically stop at
its horizontal position (with the mast vertically
positioned).
• After stopping the fork at its horizontal posi-
tion with the tilt lever knob switch pressed, you
may want to tilt the fork further. To do this, re-
turn the tilt lever to the neutral position once.
Then, after releasing the tilt lever knob switch,
operate the tilt lever.
When the tilt lever is operated from the back-
ward to forward position with the knob switch
depressed, the mast will perform as follows:
No load Loaded
High lift Stop with leveling forks
Not tilting
height (mast vertical)
forward
Low lift Stop with leveling forks
height (mast vertical)
Caution
• With the mast titled forward with a high
load at a high lift, pressing the tilt lever knob
switch will cause the mast to stop moving. Ab-
solutely avoid such operation because this
automatic fork leveling control, if operated
while handling a load, involves the fear of
causing the vehicle to tipover.
• In case of the vehicle with an attachment,
do not allow the fork to be automatically po-
sitioned horizontally, with a high load at a
high lift while the engine is running at a high
speed. This will lead to a hazard.
• Some specialty models onto which a heavy
attachment is mounted may not be equipped
with the automatic fork leveling control. Con-
firm a Toyota dealer in advance.
Note:
• The mast will not move if it is tilted forward
by pressing the tilt lever knob switch with a high
load at a high lift (more than 2 m).
• As long as the mast is tilted forward from its
vertical position, it will no longer tilt forward
even if the tilt lever knob switch is pressed.
• While it is tilting backward, the fork will not
stop at its horizontal position even if the tilt le-
ver knob switch is pressed.
Active mast front tilt angle control
According to a lift and to a load, the angle at
which the mast can be tilted forward is auto-
matically controllable within a range of angles
illustrated below.
Light load Intermediate Heavy load
(no load) load
High lift No restriction Angle Forward tilt
height for front tilt restricted angle
angle between 1° restricted to
and forward 1°
tilt angle 5°
Low lift
No restriction for front tilt angle
