IF THE LIFT TRUCK IS NOT TO BE USED FOR A LONG TIME

INTRODUCTION

The following recommendations are intended to prevent the lift truck from being damaged when it is withdrawn from ser vice for an
extended period.
For these operations, we recommend the use of a MANITOU protective product, reference 603726.
Instructions for using the product are given on the packaging.

Procedures to follow if the lift truck is not to be used for a long time and for starting it up again afterwards must be performed by your dealership.
