1-13 Stabilizing features The world-first System of Active Stability (SAS), adopted by the 7FB series models, is available for the new mod- els, too. Using the SAS the new models achieve the stability level equivalent to that achieved by the 7FB series models. The following outlines the SAS. For more details of the SAS option, refer to Section 11 “SAS”. Improvement on operability 1. Mini lever The hydraulic control levers are displaced to the arm rest fore-front and optimal length, and spacing are given on basis of human engineering. An operator can manipulate the control lever with a hand on the arm rest. Fine operation adjustment can be achieved with the display.
The control lever position is ad- justable vertically as well as to lengthwise. Pleasant material handling operation with less fatigue can be ensured. Stability feature Outline Rear stabilizer (swing lock) The rear wheel swing mechanism is locked at high lift-heights and heavy loads, and during a quick turn to obtain a better ground grip force from all four wheels. Mast function control Front tilt angle control The front tilt angle is smaller at high heights and heavy loads; greater at low heights and light loads. Rear tilt speed control The rear tilt speed is slower at high heights and faster at low heights. Key-lift interlock The lift lever cannot function by inadvertent contact.
Automatic fork leveling control A push on a control button followed by a front tilt operation tilts the mast until the forks are horizontal.
