5.2 Hand wheel
Hand wheel is operated in normal way, that is to say,
when turning the hand wheel right, the truck will turn right.
When turning the hand wheel left, the truck will turn left. The
rear wheels of the forklift truck are steering wheels, which
make the tail section of the truck swing out when turning. The
turning method can be mastered easily through practice.
