In order to tow the truck, two requirements must
be met:
* the bypass valve must be in the towing position
* the multiple disc brake must be released
WARNING
The truck can not be braked when the multiple disc
brake is released.
For towing, an additional vehicle of sufficient pulling
power and braking force is required for the unbraked
trailing load.
The fork truck may only be towed with a solid connection
(tow bar)
Opening the hydraulic bypass valve
.. Open the bonnet.
.. Use a socket to loosen the collar nut (1) on the
housing on the left of the variable-displacement
pump.
.. Turn the setscrew (2) out 2 turns with a socket.
.. Lock the setscrew with collar nut (1), retighten
to 60 Nm.
.. Close the bonnet.
Releasing the multiple disc brake
NOTE
The brake release valve is located below the floor
plate on the left of the truck frame.
.. Remove the floor mat.
.. Stick an Allen wrench through the floor plate
and loosen the cheese head screw (3) by approx.
6 turns.
.. Sit down on the driver's seat.
.. Depress (pump) the brake pedal about
20 times in the easy range up to noticeable
resistance until the brake is released.
