Brake
Reverse current braking 
The direction/acceleration handle brake acts
as an auxiliary brake, allowing the driver to ad-
just the amount of braking force depending on
the circumstances.
NOTE
It is recommended to use the direction/accel-
eration handle brake in smooth road condi-
tions to achieve optimum braking effective-
ness.
 To operate the reverse current brake when
driving the truck (1), pull the drive direction
lever in the opposite direction.This will oper-
ate the reverse current brake.The strength
of the braking force depends on how far the
lever is pulled.

released immediately after being pulled.
DANGER
In an emergency, do not use the reverse current
brake.Instead, release the foot switch or press the
parking brake button to make an emergency stop.

Brake
Foot brake pedal 
DANGER
It is prohibited to carry passengers other than the
driver on the platform.
Keep your feet on the platform at all times when driv-
ing.
The foot-brake pedal (1) is the pedal in the

middle of the step plate in the driver's cab.
The driver must be in the driver's cab, press-
ing down on this pedal to release the brake.
Once the foot-brake pedal is released when
driving, the traction motor acts as an alternator
to charge the battery and produces regenera-
tive braking power; at the same time, the load-
wheel brakes engage to brake the truck. Once
the truck stops, the parking brake on the drive
wheels engages, holding the truck in a parked
state. The truck automatically generates a
braking force that is proportional to its speed
(Linde System Control).
The braking distance depends on the condi-
tion of the driving surface.Drivers should be
aware of this when driving and braking.
NOTE
When braking under normal driving conditions,
please use the foot brake pedal.
NOTE
The foot brake pedal is a service brake to be
used when the truck is moving. The braking
distance meets standard requirements, but the
amount of braking force is not adjustable.
NOTE
We recommend that drivers initially practise
operating the brakes without a load on the
forklift truck, to get used to how the brakes re-
spond.

nector.
Only use paraffin for lift chain cleaning.
DANGER
Cleaning with a steam or pressure washer will re-
sult in rapid corrosion of the chain.
If, however, cleaning with a steam or pressure wash-

er is unavoidable, follow this procedure:
 Only use clean water or steam without additives.
 Immediately blow the chain dry with compressed
air after cleaning to remove water both from the
chain surface and inside the hinge pins. Move the
chain several times during the blow-drying
process.
 Immediately apply Linde chain spray and keep the
chain moving while doing so.
Exercise extreme caution if applying hot

steam or super degreaser,as grease in the
sealed-for-life bearings may dissolve and flow
out. Since the grease cannot be refilled, the
bearing will be damaged.
CAUTION
Only use special non-abrasive, water-based window

cleaner for window cleaning.Do not use chemical
cleaner, otherwise permanent damage may occur.
Partial stains can be treated with mineral spirits but
must be rinsed with clean water immediately after-
wards.
Clean the polycarbonate windows with special care
so as not to scratch them.
