0-11 HOISTING THE VEHICLE When hoisting the vehicle, use the mast hook on the front of the vehicle and a wire net on the rear wheel. Caution: Use wire ropes having sufficient strength. Never hoist the forklift by the weight hook holes or head guard. CAUTION FOR TOWING 1. When towing the forklift, always lift the rear wheels away from the ground. 2. The traveling speed in towing must not exceed the maximum traveling speed of the forklift. 3. Always set the key switch to OFF and the direction switch to the neutral position before starting towing.

Before towing, either remove the fork or take an action to prevent fork contact with the ground due to bounding.
