Warning
DO NOT adjust the seat when the truck is in operation. Stop the truck and
apply the park brake before making any adjustments to the seat.
Report any malfunction of the seat immediately. Maintenance may only be
carried out by a competent authorised person.
DO NOT place or allow any objects to fall within the moving area of the seat.
Check that all setting stops are correctly engaged before starting the truck.
Loads – other than the operators weight – must not be placed on the seat.
3.2.2 Inch Brake Pedal
The inch brake pedal is located on the cabin floor to the
left hand side of the steering column as shown
highlighted in red in the adjacent diagram.
The inch brake pedal allows precise control of the travel
speed which is invaluable when positioning the truck to
lift or place a load or when operating in a confined area.
When fully pressed down it blocks the flow of oil through
the hydrostatic drive circuit, bringing the truck to a
smooth controlled halt.
When partially pressed down it restricts the flow of oil through the hydrostatic
drive circuit thus reducing the travel speed.
Press the pedal down gradually to reduce the travel speed gradually.
Release the pedal gradually to increase the travel speed gradually.
3.2.3 Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal is located on the cabin floor to
the right hand side of the steering column as shown
highlighted in green in the adjacent diagram.
The accelerator pedal provides control of the engine
speed (RPM).
To INCREASE the engine RPM PRESS on the pedal.
To REDUCE the engine RPM RELEASE the pedal.
3.2.4 Operator’s Seat
A correctly functioning seat that has been adjusted to suit the height, weight and
posture of each individual operator is essential to the operator’s health.
The seat must be correctly adjusted before use and before each change of operator
so that the steering wheel, pedals and hydraulic controls can be comfortably reached
while the operator has their back resting against the seat backrest.
The angle of the steering column should be adjusted when the seat is being adjusted
to achieve optimum comfort. See ‘Adjusting the Steering Column’.
