CAUTION
Safe parking
Park the truck on a level ground, preferably
•
in a wide area.
If parking the truck without load on a slope
is unavoidable, position the load handling
means down-hill and block the wheels to
prevent accidental roll.
Park the truck in a designated area or out-
•
of-traffic area. If necessary, put signposts
or signal lights around the truck.
Park the truck on a hard ground. Avoid soft
•
ground, deep mud or slippery surfaces.
If you cannot lower the forks on the ground
•
due to a broken load handling system, put
a caution cloth to the fork end and park in
an out-of-traffic area.
Pay attention to the ground condition
•
because it might be slippery.
Dismount from the truck after making sure
•
it has come to a complete stop. Do not
dismount from the truck in motion.
Never jump off the truck.
•
Dismount from the truck, facing the truck
•
and using the safety step and hand grip.
Park the truck in an out-of-traffic area and follow the
procedure given below:
1) Pull the parking brake lever to the full to apply
the parking brake.
2) Lower the forks on the ground.
3) Turn the key switch “OFF” to shut down the
engine.
4) Remove the key and keep it sure.
5) Dismount from the truck carefully.
GROUND CONDITION
CAUTION
Use due caution when traveling on a rough
•
surface.
When crossing a railroad, be sure to once
•
stop, make sure to be safe and cross
the railroad track at an angle wherever
possible.
Go around obstacles such as rocks and
•
stumps, or pot holes. If unavoidable,
reduce the speed and go over slowly and
carefully. Use caution not to damage the
bottom of the truck. Cross a small bump
diagonally if the aisle width is enough to do
so.
Lift truck performance depends upon the ground
condition or floor condition and travel speed should
be adjusted properly.
TRAVELING ON SNOWY OR FROZEN
ROAD
CAUTION
Note that fitting of optional tire chains will
increase traction, but can hardly prevent the
truck from sideslipping.
When traveling on a snowy or frozen road, use tire
chains. Avoid sudden acceleration, stops or turns;
otherwise the truck might skid to cause a serious
accident.
Control the traveling speed carefully using the
accelerator pedal.
NOTE
Some trucks require the replacement of some
parts when using tire chains.
For more information, consult your local
UniCarriers dealer.
