Operator Presence System
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System (OPS) consists of a safety switch located in the bottom of the
operator's seat. It determines if the operator is seated correctly while operating the lift truck.
The operator must sit in the seat to travel or use the hydraulic controls.
If the operator is not in a correct seating position, both travel and hydraulic operations
are interrupted. An alarm will appear on the dash display if travel or hydraulic operation is
attempted without sitting in the seat.
If the lift truck is traveling and the OPS switch is disengaged, the lift truck will come to a
controlled stop and the parking brake will apply. The OPS switch must be depressed to
resume operation. If this occurs, an icon and alarm message will appear on the dash display
to inform the operator.
WARNING
Do not attempt to leave the operator's seat while the lift truck is moving. Remain seated,
with the seat belt securely fastened, until the lift truck is fully stopped and the parking
brake icon appears on the display.
