• Flammable and/or combustible materials
can be damaged and in some cases ignited
by a hot exhaust system or hot exhaust
gases. To minimize the possibility for such
damage or fire, the operator must obey
the following recommended practices:
• Do not operate the lift vehicle over or near
flammable and/or combustible materials,
including dried grass and paper scraps.
• Park the lift vehicle with rear end at least
30 cm (12 in) away from lumber, veneer
board, paper products and other similar
materials to avoid discoloration, deforma-
tion or combustion of those materials.
• For the vehicles using color tires, a static
strap must be fixed.
Safety requirements
• Trucks equipped with a load bearing clamp
(e.g. paper clamp) shall feature control(s)
with a secondary action to prevent uninten-
tional release of the load. When any "load
bearing clamp" is used on a lift truck, the
control (hydraulic hand lever for example)
must be configured to conform to the
ISO3691-1.
Precautions to be taken when using
SAS models
(SAS: System of Active Stability)
Note:
Some models are not equipped with the SAS
system. Regarding SAS models, contact a
Toyota dealer.
Caution Caution
• Whenever you get on an SAS models,
please check the caution plate, which will
inform you what functional features are
provided on the vehicle. Do not proceed to
operate the vehicle before making certain
that each of the features is operating cor-
rectly.
• For those models fitted with double/dual
wheels, there is no rear tire swing lock
control cylinder/stabilizer.
• While driving the vehicle, be alert about
any warning lamp that may appear.
Should an error code be indicated by a
warning lamp or the hour-meter, park the
vehicle at a safe location and ask a Toyota
dealer for an inspection.
• The SAS, which is electronically con-
trolled, may need to be initialized after
completion of a maintenance operation. Do
not remove or modify any SAS features.
Whenever an inspection may be necessary,
make contact with a Toyota dealer.
• When washing the vehicle, carefully pre-
vent water from spraying directly over
the electronics (controller, sensor and
switches) employed in the SAS.
Description of features available in
SAS models
Active control rear stabilizer:
When the vehicle makes a turn on the spot, a
centrifugal force will be generated in the lateral
direction of the vehicle. In such an event, this
feature will operate so that the rear axle will be
locked from pivoting to support the vehicle on
four wheels. Thus, the vehicular stability will be
enhanced in both right and left directions.
Caution Caution
With the rear axle locked from pivoting, the
stability will be increased. Nevertheless, it
does not signify that the vehicle would never
tipover. Operate the vehicle as outlined in
this manual.
Automatic forks leveling control
• With tilting the mast forward while pressing
the tilt lever knob switch will cause the fork
to automatically stop at its horizontal posi-
tion (the mast vertically positioned).
• After stopping the forks at its horizontal
position with the tilt lever knob switch
pressed, you may want to tilt the forks fur-
ther forward. To do this, return the tilt lever
to the neutral position once. Then, after
releasing the tilt lever knob switch, operate
the tilt lever.
When the tilt lever is operated from the back-
ward to forward position with the knob switch
depressed, the mast will perform as follows:
Not load Loaded
High lift Stops with forks level No forward tilt
height (mast vertical)
Low lift Stops with forks level (mast vertical)
height
Caution Caution
• With the mast titled forward with a load
on the forks and elevated, pressing the tilt
lever knob switch will cause the mast to
stop moving. Absolutely avoid such oper-
ation because this automatic forks level-
ing control, if operated while handling a
load, may cause the vehicle to tipover.
• In case of the vehicle with an attachment,
do not allow the forks to be automatically
positioned horizontally, with a load on the
elevated while the engine is running at
high rev. This will lead to a hazard.
• Some specialty models onto which a heavy
attachment is mounted may not be
equipped with the automatic forks level-
ing control. Confirm with a Toyota dealer
in advance.
Note:
• The mast will not move if it is tilted forward
by pressing the tilt lever knob switch with a
load at an elevated height (more than 2 m).
• When the mast is tilted forward from its ver-
tical position, it will not be possible to tilt
forward even if the tilt lever knob switch is
pressed.
• While it is tilting backward, the forks will
not stop at the horizontal position (mast ver-
tical) even if the tilt lever knob switch is
pressed. (except vehicles equipped with mini
lever or joy stick)
Active mast front tilt angle control
According to the lift and to the load, the angle at
which the mast can be tilted forward is automat-
ically controllable within a range of angles illus-
trated below.
Light load Intermediate
Heavy load
(no load) load
High lift No restriction Angle restricted Forward tilt
height for front tilt between 1° and angle
angle 5° forward tilt restricted to 1°
angle
Low lift No restriction for front tilt angle
height
Caution Caution
• If a load is tilted forward at a low lift
height, and then the load is elevated there
is a fear that the vehicle may tip forward
when the load stops at a height having a
tilt angle beyond the specified angle
range. Always ensure the mast is vertical
when elevating the load or forks and only
tilt forward when the height required has
been reached.
• With a load at a high lift height, never
match the load (mast angle) by controlling
the mast forward tilt angle, since it
involves the fear that the vehicle may tip
forward.
• Even with a load positioned within the
allowable angle range, never tilt the mast
beyond its vertical position, or the vehicle
may tip over, losing its stability forward
or backward. Never tilt the mast forward,
with an elevated load.
