INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS - PDC
The steering arm and control handle
provide controls for steering, forward
and reverse speed control, braking,
and
horn. Control handles on some
models
have pushbuttons for raising
and low-
ering the forks, and for an
additional
"dynamic brake" independent from the
mechanical brake (dynamic brake no
longer available on new trucks). Control
handles on all models have a
"belly-but-
ton" reversing switch which reverses
the direction of the truck
upon contact
with the operator.
Detailed operating instructions are in
the Operation section of this manual.
A battery disconnect is mounted near
the steering arm. Pulling the disconnect
removes all power from truck circuits in
the event of an emergency.
PDC Control Handle
All models come standard with a lift/
lower control lever mounted near the
steering arm. Some models have addi-
tional control levers for operating a tilt
mechanism which tilts the mast forward
or back. Other models have additional
control levers for the operations of addi-
tional accessories.
