MAST CAPACITY R NG PL.~~\TE

r-orklift weight and lifting capacity limitations must be entered in blank spaces provided on mast capacity rating plate, Fig. A.

Appropriate data listed in Table I or II must be entered on mast capacity rating plate before delivering Forklift to customer. En­tries must be made by steel stamping plate with permanent letter­ing or markings.

If Forklift mast is changed, a new mast capacity rating plate must be installed and appropriate entries made'in blank spaces corresponding to specifications listed in Table I or II. Fig. A il­lustrates mast lifting capacity plate for MF 4500 equipped with 21-112 ft. mast.

Charts I and II contain Forklift lifting capacity limitations for both MF 4500 and MF 6500 Forklifts and all Forklift mast options.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Instruments and controls vary between Instant Reverse and Manual Shuttle Models. See Figs. 1 and 2.

TACHOMETER, NO.1, FIG. 3

The tachometer shows engine revolutions per minute (rpm). An hourmeter is also incorporated in this gauge.

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, FIG. 4

Jhe oil pressure gauge indicates engine I ubricating oil pressure, not amount of oil in crankcase. Oil pressure is normal when needle registers within green band zone. Should needle drop back to red zone, shut off engine immediately. Do not restart engine until problem has been located and corrected.

AMMETER GAUGE, FIG. 5

The ammeter gauge measures flow of electrical current to and from storage batteries. When current is flowing to batteries needle will register to right within white band zone. If needle registers to left within red band zone, this indicates a reverse flow of cur­rent from batteries. Should this occur with -engine running, it in­dicates a malfunctioning alternator or regulator. Discontinue Forklift operation until problem has been located and corrected.

FUEL GAUGE, FIG. 6

Fuel gauge indicates amount of fuel in tank. Needle will move to left as amount of fuel decreases. Shaded area of circles reflects fuel level in tank.

LIGHT SWITCH, NO.6, FIG. 3

Pulling light switch control knob out to 1 st position activates road lamps:

1. Warning Lamps 2. Red Tail Lamps 3. Forward Lamps (White) Pulling light switch control knob out to 2nd position activates

work lamps: 1. Work lamps front and rear (white only) 2. No Red - No Warning

PARKING BRAKE" NO. 1 ~ FIG. 7 To app ly parking brake, lock two pedals together, depress brake

pedals and push down on parking brake control. To release parking brake, depress brake pedals, pull parking brake control upw ard and unlock pedals .

FORWARD-REVERSE CONTR OL lEVER, NO.2, F IG. 7

To change direction of travel, depress clutch pedal and move control lever to desired position. Use brake pedals, when necessary, to bring Forklift to a halt.

DIFFERE NTIAL LOCK CONTROL LEVER , NO.2, FIG . 8

The differential lock, when :engaged, locks both driving axles together. This enables Forklift to maintain traction when one wheel encounters poor tractive conditions or slips.

Move control lever forward to engage differential lock. (This may be done when Forklift is moving, or when only one whee! is spinning slowly or at low rpm of engine (idle).

IMPORTANT: If differential lock is e n gaged with only one whee! spinning at high rpm, an undue shock. load will be imposed on certain components of axle assembly. This could result in serious damage.

Move control lever rearward to disengage differential lock. Under certain conditions, it may be necessary to apply right or left brake pedal to relieve power train windup before disengaging different ial lock .

INSTR UMENT PANEL SECU RITY COVER" FI G. 8

Remove key from ignition/starter switch, close instrument pane l cover and lock with combination key. This will help to protect Forklift against theft and vandalism.

NOTE: In addition to instrument panel, engine compart­ment, battery compartment and radiator filler cap, Fig. 9 , are protected with fandalism locks. Use combination key, Fig. 10, to open and close locks. Fuel filler cap has provisions for a padlock.

B RAKE PEDALS, FIGS. 1 AND 2

Individual brake pedals are provided to assist turning. When brakes a re used for stopp ing Forklift, depress both pedals sim­ulta neously . Individual brakes are for making sharp turns. A lock is provided to secure both pedals together and should be used when not making a turn with brakes.
