tion
WARNING
Risk of accident
Uneven wear reduces the stability of the tow tractor
and increases braking distance.
– Worn or damaged tyres (left or right) must be re-
placed immediately.
Normally, each tyre must be inflated to 8 bar.

– If necessary, inflate the tyres (1).
– Check the condition of the tyres and tyre
wear (2). Look for tyre damage caused by
foreign bodies. Tyres must be worn evenly
on both sides.

Checking the battery charge status 

– Pull the emergency stop button(2).
– Switch on the ignition using the key (3). For
trucks with digicodes, turn the start-up but-
ton to position 1, then enter the PIN code
into the digicode keypad.
– Check the battery charge status on the driv-
er display (1).
CAUTION
Batteries that are discharged to under 20% of rated
capacity are over-discharged. Over-discharging
shortens the service life of the batteries and could
render the battery warranty void.
Never leave batteries in a discharged state.
Checking the interlocks

DANGER
For your own safety, and the safety of third parties,
the tow tractor and the carrier are fitted with various
interlocks.
It is imperative that these interlocks function correct-
ly.
Before each shift, check that all the interlocks

for the tow tractor work correctly and are safe.
– Check that the key switch or turning knob
works correctly
– Check that the emergency off switches
work correctly
– Check that the forklift operator detection
system is working correctly, including on the
seat
– Check that the battery locking system is op-
erating correctly
NOTE
For any attachments, additional interlocks may
be fitted. Also check that these additional in-
terlocks are operating correctly.
1191 801 15 51 EN - 02/2021 - 10 35

4 Use
Report any interlock malfunctions to your

manager. Do not use the tow tractor or the
carrier.
Checking the foot brake 
DANGER
Risk of accident
Do not use only the electrical brake for emergency
braking.
– Always actuate the foot brake (1) for emergency
braking.
To test the brakes, proceed as follows:

– Accelerate the unladen tow tractor in a clear
area.
– Release the actuated accelerator pedal (2).
– Press the foot brake (1) firmly.
The truck should slow down until standstill.
NOTE
Actuating the foot brake hydraulically operates
brakes on both the front wheels and drive
axle. Before first use, it is recommended that
drivers familiarise themselves with the opera-
tion and effect of the brake on an unladen tow
tractor.
