Travel with the fork carriage tilted back and raised only enough to fully clear the ground or
obstacles. When the carriage (load) is in an elevated position the stability of the truck is reduced.
Do not elevate the load except during stacking.
GRADES, RAMPS, AND INCLINES...
Use special care when operating on ramps, inclines, and uneven areas. Travel slowly. Travel
straight up and down. Do not turn or drive at an angle across an incline or ramp. Do not attempt
to operate on grades in excess of those specified and/or recommended by the manufacturer.
When the truck is loaded, travel with the load upgrade. When the truck is empty, travel with lifting
mechanism (mast) downgrade.
Always brake with the right foot pedal (Not with the inching pedal) when travelling down incline.
If you should travel down incline for long distance, apply the engine brake with lower gear. Brake
malfunction such as preformance drop, excessive wear of friction material and disc stick can be
caused by continuous brake operation making the oil overheating. In that case, stop traveling,
apply parking brake with neutral gear position and stay during 10 minutes with engine idle speed.
Do not travel down incline with neutral gear state.
It makes the brake oil overheated due to excessive brake operation.
