to raise and lower the fork carriage on
the upright. The lifting speed is con-
trolled by varying engine speed and
lever position.

When the lift control lever is pushed
forwards, the fork carriage is lowered.
By varying the amount of movement of
the lever, you determine the lowering
speed. You can also lower the fork car-
riage when the engine is stopped.

With the tilt control lever, you are able
to control the tilting or vertical posi-
tioning of the upright. When the lever is
pulled back, the upright also tilts
backwards. If the lever is pushed for-
wards, the upright is tilted forward.
