1.2. SAFE TRAVEL 1.2. SAFE TRAVEL JUMPING ON AND OFF THE LIFT TRUCK IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED When getting in or out of the lift truck, be sure to first stop the truck and use the handrails (assist grip) as well as the step to hold yourself securely. Do not hold on to or pull yourself up with the control levers or steering wheel when getting on or off the lift truck. Keep the handrails (assist grip) clean all the time, and repair any damage. AJM00003 DON'T TRY TO OPERATE THE LIFT TRUCK FROM OUTSIDE Always keep your body under the overhead guard. Do not put your hand or foot out of the overhead guard.
You must be properly seated in the operator’s seat when operating any function of the lift truck. MAINTAIN PROPER POSTURE WHILE OPERATING Travel Interlock (power transmission cutoff) and Lift/Tilt Interlock (Option) If you operate the lift truck when you are not seated properly or off the seat, an accident may happen unexpectedly. To forestall such a possible accident, the truck is provided with Travel Interlock and Lift/Tilt Interlock that make travel and truck operation impossible if you are not seated properly (Operator Presence System).
If you operate the lift truck in such a posture that your weight is not properly applied to the seat, like standing up or leaning forward or sideways, the Travel Interlock begins to alarm in approximately three seconds and cuts off the transmission of engine power. Then the truck will not move, even if you depress the accelerator pedal or operate the forward-reverse lever. Additionally, Lift/Tilt Interlock locks lifting/lowering and tilting operations. Even if you operate the lift lever or tilt lever, these functions will not work.
(The lever for an attachment is not equipped with this function.) A SUDDEN SHIFT OF THE F-R LEVER IS DANGEROUS To change the travel direction, stop the lift truck completely and then operate the F-R lever. 1-6
