e. The lift truck must be towed on a slope.
If the engine cannot run, there is no power available
for the hydraulic steering system and the service
brakes. This condition can make the lift truck difficult
to steer and stop. If the lift truck uses power from the
engine to help apply the brakes, the application of
the brakes will be more difficult. Poor traction can
cause the disabled lift truck or towing vehicle to
slide. A slope will also make the lift truck more diffi-
cult to stop.
Never lift and move a disabled lift truck unless the
disabled lift truck MUST be moved and cannot be
towed. A lift truck used to move a disabled lift truck
MUST have a capacity rating equal to or greater than
the weight of the disabled lift truck. The capacity of
the lift truck used to move a disabled lift truck must
have a load center equal to half the width of the dis-
abled lift truck. See the nameplate of the disabled lift
truck for the approximate total weight. The forks
must extend the full width of the disabled lift truck.
Put the weight center of the disabled lift truck on
load center of the forks. Be careful to not damage the
under side of the lift truck.
How To Tow The Lift Truck
NOTE:
Disconnect the drive line before towing the lift
truck if the engine or transmission are disabled.
1. The towed lift truck must have an operator.
2. Tow the lift truck slowly.
3. Raise the carriage and forks approximately 30 cm (12
inches) from the surface. Install a chain to prevent the
carriage and mast channels from moving.
4. If another lift truck is used to tow the disabled lift truck,
that lift truck must have an equal or larger capacity than
the disabled lift truck. Install approximately
1
/
2
of a capac-
ity load on the forks of the lift truck that is being used to
tow the disabled lift truck. This
1
/
2
capacity load will in-
crease the traction of the lift truck. Keep the load as low
as possible.
5. Use a towing link made of steel that attaches to the tow
pins in the counterweights of both lift trucks.
