10.9.2 Momentary Brake Light
(Stop Light)
Two stop/tail lights (23, Fig. 10.30 or 19, Fig.
10.30A) at the rear of the forklift have dual filament
bulbs. The brake filament lights as long as the
service brake pedal is pressed; it goes out when
the pedal is released completely.
Inspect the operation of the stop/tail light daily and
replace the bulb whenever either filament fails to
light. You will find the number of the bulb in the
Electrical Specifications Table at the end of this
