Always wear the seat belt when operating the truck.
2
WARNING
A malfunctioning or damaged seat belt can result in
death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
1
Ensure that the belt always operates correctly. It
must not become twisted, trapped or tangled up.
The catch and belt retractor must be protected
from dirt, damage, or foreign objects. A damaged
or frayed seat belt must be repaired or replaced
before operating the truck.
7311_003-048

4 Operation
Seat Belt
The automatic locking mechanism will prevent

the belt from being pulled out of the retractor
whenever the truck is on a steep slope. To
release the locking mechanism, carefully
move the truck so that it is no longer positioned
at an angle.
While using the vehicle (e.g. driving, operating
lift mast etc.), adopt a sitting position as far
back as possible so that the driver’s back
rests against the seat back. The automatic 4
locking mechanism of the belt retractor offers
sufficient freedom of movement on the seat for
normal use of the fork-lift truck.
Some trucks may be fitted with custom seat
belts. These often have red or orange belt 1 7090_342-005
material. In such cases, the receiver and
retractor positions may be opposite those
shown in the illustration.
Fastening the seat belt

 Pull the seat belt (3) smoothly from the
retractor on the left.
 Position belt over lap, not over stomach.
 Ensure that buckle (2) snaps into place in
the receiver (1).
 Check seat belt tension.
Belt must fit close to the body.
Releasing the seat belt

 While holding the buckle, press red key (4)
on the receiver(1).
 Hold onto the buckle (2) and slowly allow
it to retract into the seat. Do not allow the
buckle to snap uncontrolled against the
retractor housing.
NOTE
If the belt snaps rapidly into the retractor
housing, the automatic locking mechanism
may lock the belt with the buckle against the
housing. This will prevent the belt from being
pulled out with normal force. To free the belt,
pull it strenuously until slight movement is
detected, then release it slowly. This should

Operation 4
Turning the Truck On and Off
unlock the belt and allow it to be withdrawn

normally from the retractor housing.
Turning the Truck On and Off

Turning the Truck On
 Sit on the operator seat and fasten the seat
belt.
 Ensure that the emergency stop button is
pulled out.
 Insert the key (1) in the key switch and turn
it clockwise.
This initiates a self-test. All lamps in the 1
multi-function display light up briefly. The
display shows the welcome screen until the
truck controls have completely started up.
Turning the Truck Off

 Apply the parking brake before turning the
truck off.
 Turn the key counter-clockwise. The
display will remain lit for several seconds
before shutting off.

Emergency Stop Switch
Emergency Stop Switch

Pushing the emergency stop button (1) in will
shut the truck off at any time. The emergency
stop switch will open and the truck will coast to
a stop unless the foot brake is applied. Also,
increased effort will be required to turn the
steering wheel.
WARNING
If the emergency stop switch is operated while
in motion, the vehicle will coast without electric 1
braking or power assisted steering. The brake
pedal must be used to stop the truck. More effort
will be required for steering and braking. Stopping
distance may be longer than normal. For these
reasons there may be an increased risk of collision.
RX60 02122010-01 v2
Always be prepared to stop the truck with the
brake pedal and increase the steering effort if the
emergency stop button is pressed.
Emergency Stop Procedure

Display Window
Display Window
The display unit on the dash board contains
a window to display truck information. Five
buttons to the left of the window are dedicated
for control of the display window. The display
window is divided into two sides. The left side
of the display window allows control of certain
optional equipment if installed. If no options
are installed, this side will appear blank. The
right side of the display window shows basic
truck information.
NOTE
The menu button has two functions depending
on how long it is pressed. If the truck has
more than one column of option icons in the
left side of the window, briefly pressing the
menu button will change the active column.
On all trucks, holding the menu button for one
second will toggle between pages one and two
of the basic truck information on the right side
of the window.
CONTROL OF OPTIONS (Left side of

window)
If certain options are installed on the truck,
corresponding icons (1) will appear in the left
side of the display window. These icons are
arranged beside the three function buttons (2)
to the left of the window. The function buttons
serve as soft keys that will control any option
whose icon appears beside them. When a
function button is pressed, its icon will darken,
indicating that the option has been turned on.
Pressing the button again will turn the option
off and reset the icon to its normal appearance.
If numerous options are present, a second
column of icons (3) can appear beside the first.
In this case a gray bar (4) appears between
the icons in a column to show which column
is active. The function buttons will control the
options in the active column. To change the
active column, briefly press the menu button
(5) to move the gray bar between columns.

Operation 4
Blue Zone Efficiency Mode
Blue Zone Efficiency Mode 2

The Blue Zone efficiency mode is a mode of 1
operation that reduces energy consumption
by moderating the acceleration behavior of the
truck. This mode of operation will also switch 3 8

specific conditions. The Blue Zone efficiency 9
234.7
mode is activated by pressing the Blue Zone 2 7 12:15
button (1) on the display unit. When the mode 5 0
is active, the Blue Zone icon (2) will appear in

the display window.
Effect on Acceleration
During travel at low speeds such as when
maneuvering, the reduction from efficiency RX60 02172010-01
mode will not be detectable. Acceleration

out of the lower speed range however will
be gentler than with normal operation. The
truck’s braking characteristics, as well as
maximum speed, climbing capability, or
pulling force are not affected by the efficiency
mode.
Effect on Accessories
When the efficiency mode is active, accesso-
ries will be affected as follows:
Headlights, front and rear spot lights, and
wipers (if equipped) are automatically shut
off if the truck is stopped.
Front or rear spot lights and wipers (if equip-
ped) are shut off if the truck is travelling
greater than 1.9 mph (3 km/h) in the oppo-
site direction.
Cabin or seat heaters (if equipped) are
automatically shut off if the seat becomes
unoccupied.

4 Operation
Parking Brake
Parking Brake
The parking brake is applied and released
using the parking brake handle (1). The
handle actuates the mechanical brake discs
in the drive axle through a cable. When the
1
handle is released, return springs in the brake
disc assembly release the brake. When the
handle is pulled to set the parking brake,
the cable pulls against the springs to apply
pressure to the brake discs.
WARNING
Failure to apply the parking brake can result in
unintended vehicle movement. The parking brake RX60 03022010-01
is not automatically applied when the truck is

stopped or turned off. If the parking brake is not
applied, the truck will roll if it is left on a gradient or if
it is pushed or struck by another vehicle.
Whenever leaving the truck, even briefly (for ex-
ample to perform some brief action in close vicinity
to the truck such as opening a gate, unhitching a
trailer, etc.), always apply the parking brake.
NOTE
When the parking brake is applied, the truck
cannot be driven. If a drive pedal is pressed
while the parking brake is applied, the mes-
sage PARKING BRAKE appears in the dis-
play.
Applying the Parking Brake

 With the handle in the released position (1),
move it all the way down until it bottoms out
at position (2) (solid arrow).

 Release the handle and allow it to spring 3
return to position (3) (outline arrow). The
parking brake is now applied.
WARNING
If the handle returns to position 1 again, then the
parking brake is not applied. In this case the handle
was not pushed all the way to position 2.
When applying the parking brake, always push 2
the handle down completely to position 2 so that
it spring returns to position 3, not back to position
1. Note the decals beside the handle at positions 1 RX6001182010-02

NOTE RX60 01202010-01
The maximum acceleration rate is set by the

main control unit. Quick flooring of the drive
pedal will not increase acceleration.
If the pedal is released, the electric braking
function will automatically slow the truck.
WARNING
If the emergency stop button (3) is pressed, the
electric braking function will not operate.
The truck can then only be slowed by pressing the
brake pedal (8).
Reverse Travel
 Carefully press the left-hand drive pedal (6).

Operation 4
Control of speed and braking in reverse is the

same as for forward motion.
Stopping
The truck can be slowed or stopped through
two types of braking — electric or mechanical.
Electric braking is provided by the drive
motor control system. Mechanical braking
is provided by brake discs in the drive axle.
Normally the mechanical brake is only used
as a parking brake. It can be used at any time
however using the brake pedal. This should
only be required if unusually hard stopping is
necessary such as during an emergency.
Electric Braking
Electric braking can occur two ways:
• Releasing the drive pedal
• Reverse braking
 If the drive pedal is released, the drive
system will electrically brake the truck and
bring it to rest. Easing off the drive pedal
will give responsive, controlled braking.
Complete release of the drive pedal will
provide more braking force.
 Reverse braking is activated by selecting
the opposite pedal while the truck is still
moving in the original direction. This is
similar to "plugging" of some traditional DC
trucks. Reverse braking will slow the truck
more than simply releasing the drive pedal.
Both forms of electric braking are regenera-
tive, therefore they can convert momentum
back into energy to recharge the battery. Bra-
king force for each one can be adjusted in the
software. Either one (or both) can be reduced
to zero if desired. In this case the brake pe-
dal (mechanical brake) must be used to slow
the truck. Otherwise, the truck would simply
coast.
NOTE
The factory setting is the same for both forms
of electric braking. With this setting, no
difference will be detected between releasing
the drive pedal and reverse braking.

4 Operation
Mechanical Braking
 Press the brake pedal if hard braking is
necessary. This will slow the truck using
the mechanical brakes. The harder the
pedal is pressed, the faster the truck will
stop. The mechanical brake will always
function regardless of how electric braking
is adjusted. If the truck loses power due to
a fault or use of the emergency stop button,
the mechanical brake will still function
normally.
NOTE
Electric braking (unless disabled) will auto-
matically occur to aid the mechanical brake
whenever the brake pedal is pressed.
Changing Direction
 Release the drive pedal that is pressed.
The truck will be electrically braked until
stationary.
 Press the other drive pedal (for the opposite
direction of travel). The truck will then
accelerate in the new direction.
 During travel, keep both feet on the drive
pedals for optimum speed control.
If desired, the opposite pedal can be pressed
while the truck is still moving in the original
direction. If this is done, the truck will brake
using reverse braking (unless disabled) and
then accelerate in the new direction.

The maximum weight for towing is the lifting
capacity listed on the data plate. This listed
maximum lift capacity may be split between a
towed load and a load on the forks as long as
the total does not exceed the maximum listed
lift capacity. If the maximum load amount is
being towed, then no load may be carried on
the forks.
Towed load weight is also limited by the
maximum rated towing force listed in section

Check wheel mounting hardware for loose-
ness. This is especially important if a wheel
has recently been removed and reinstalled
for repairs, replacement, or any other reason.
Have any loose wheel mounting hardware
tightened to the following torque before opera-
tion.
Wheel nuts should be tightened to:

RX60 –40, –45, –50,

–50/600
Drive wheel 443 ft-lbs (600 Nm)
Steer wheel 144 ft-lbs (195 Nm)
WARNING
Wheel mounting hardware sometimes requires
several cycles of tightening before it fully seats.
For this reason, wheel mounting screws or nuts will
often work loose in the period immediately following
initial tightening.
Whenever a wheel is removed and replaced for any
reason, the wheel mounting screws or nuts must
be checked for tightness every 10 hours thereafter
until no further loosening is detected.
Check the seat and seat belt

Check the seat condition and mounting. Verify
that seat mounting hardware is tight and that
the seat is stable.
Pull the seat belt completely out and inspect
it for fraying or damage. Buckle the belt and
check that the buckle holds securely and that
it releases easily and completely when the
release button is pressed. With the truck
on a horizontal surface, quickly pull the belt
out of its retractor and verify that the locking
mechanism prevents rapid extension.

5 Maintenance
WARNING
A malfunctioning or defective seat belt can result in
injury or death in case of accident.
Do not use the truck if the seat belt is defective. If
any defect in the function of the seat or seat belt is
noticed, the truck must be removed from service
until the cause is corrected.
The seat belt must be replaced after an accident.
For seat belts integrated into the driver’s seat, the
seat and its fastening must also be checked by
trained technicians after an accident.

If there is no anti-freeze in the system, the washer
system (optional equipment) may be damaged.
 Always use windscreen washer fluid with anti-
freeze.
 Close the filler cap (1).

 Operate the washer system until washer
fluid exits from the spray nozzles.
