Warning
DO NOT change steering modes until the forklift slows
or comes to a complete stop. Align all four (4) wheels
perpendicular to the axle, before changing steering mode.
Changing steering modes at higher travel speeds can make
the forklift unstable, and cause a loss of control, which
could result in death, serious injury, or property damage.

Rear Axle Centering Indicator
The Rear Axle Centering Indicator illuminates when the rear
wheels are aligned perpendicular to the rear axle. The rear
wheels must be aligned perpendicular to axle in order to
change the Steering Select switch. If the rear axle centering
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.

Figure 38. Coolant Gauge
Coolant Gauge
The coolant gauge indicates the temperature of the coolant
in the engine cooling system. After starting the forklift, allow
time for the coolant temp gauge pointer to begin to move
before operating the forklift. After the engine has sufficiently
warmed up, normal engine coolant temperature should
read between 1800 to 2000 F. If the coolant gauge shows
abnormal readings, 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.
