7.1 Precautions on SAS
(SAS: System of Active Stability)
Whenever you use a Toyota forklift equipped with SAS, check the warning labels to determine
which SAS feature(s) your truck has been equipped with. Do not operate the truck if any SAS
feature is not operating properly.
The following are examples of the warning labels which will be affixed on SAS equipped
trucks to identify the SAS features installed on that specific truck.

DANGER
Toyota forklifts equipped with SAS will operate and handle differently than
similar forklifts without SAS. Operators must use caution when changing
between trucks with and without SAS features. Operation of forklifts without
SAS in the same manner as forklifts with SAS can result in loss of control and
potential tip over.
CAUTION
Before operating a truck equipped with SAS, familiarize yourself with the SAS feature or
features and be sure that the diagnosis indicator lamp is not illuminated. The diagnosis in
dicator lamp
will illuminate in the event of a SAS malfunction and the truck should not
be operated until it has been repaired.
•
While operating a truck equipped with SAS, should the diagnosis indicator lamp illuminate
or an error code be indicated on the display, park the truck in a safe location, apply the
parking brake and have the truck inspected by the Toyota dealer.
•
The SAS is electronically controlled. The system may need to be initialized after comple
tion of maintenance.
•
Do not remove or modify the SAS features. If inspection of the SAS is required, contact
the Toyota dealer.
•
When washing the truck, caution is required to prevent water from being directly applied
to the electrical parts used in the SAS. These electrical parts include a controller, sensors
and switches.
•
Once you have fitted or replaced any attachment on a forklift, ask the Toyota dealer for an
inspection and load rating if required.
•
If you use two or more removable attachments alternately, the heaviest one should be
used to carry out matching (SAS setting). Contact the Toyota dealer to request compatib
ility matching.
•
When mounting forks or attachments to a truck without forks, the attachments must be
compatible with the model. Contact the Toyota dealer to request compatibility matching.
