and Rear Axle Lock Indicators
Hydraulic Oil Temperature Indicator
The Hydraulic Oil Temperature Indicator illuminates when the
oil temperature is above 180°F. If the Hydraulic Oil Tempera-
ture Indicator illuminates, stop and idle the engine to allow
time for cooling. If the Hydraulic Oil Temperature Indicator
does not go out after five (5) minutes, stop the forklift, follow
proper shut down procedures, tag the forklift with “Do Not
Operate” tags, and have a qualified mechanic service or repair
the forklift
BEFORE
placing it into service again.
Low Brake Pressure Indicator
The Low Brake Pressure indicator illuminates if the hydraulic
brake oil pressure gets low. If the Low Brake Pressure Indicator
is illuminated, do not release parking brake or engage
transmission until light is out. If the light does not go out,
stop the forklift, follow proper shut down procedures, tag
the forklift with “Do Not Operate” tags, and have a qualified
mechanic service or repair the forklift
BEFORE
placing it into
service again.
Rear Axle Lock Indicator
The Rear Axle Lock Indicator illuminates when the forklift is in
the axle lock mode. The rear axle locks when the parking brake
is set to ON (engaged), or the transmission is in NEUTRAL or
the service brake is applied, and when the boom is above 10°.
If the Rear Axle Lock Indicator does not illuminate, stop the
forklift, follow proper shut down procedures, tag the forklift
with “Do Not Operate” tags, and have a qualified mechanic
service or repair the forklift
BEFORE
placing it into service
again.
Light Switches
The Light Switches control the boom and cab lights.
