The
choke control
is
located
conve-
niently
near
the
dash
on the
steering
column support.
It is
required
and
fur-
nished only with gasoline engines.
The
choke knob
is
connected
by a
wire con-
trol
to the
carburetor
on the
engine
to
enrichen
the
fuel/air mixture
to aid in
starting
when
the
engine
is
cold.
With
the
accelerator pedal
you
control
the
engine
to
select
the
required truck
travel
speed
and
power,
and the
correct
speed
for
lifting
a
load.
The
accelerator
is
mechanically connected
to the
engine carburetor
on
gasoline
and LPG
engines
or the
fuel control
on
diesel
engines.
The
steering wheel
is
connected with
a
hydrostatic steering gear. Power steer-
ing is
provided
by oil
pressure from
the
main
hydraulic pump which flows
to
the
steering gear
to be
used
in the
amount required
for
movement
of the
steering cylinder
on the
steer axle.
Never
operate
a
lift truck which
has a
steering system fault.
