BEFORE YOU DRIVE
Fasten your seat belt and pull it snug.
Adjust the operator seat and steering wheel to their
most comfortable positions.
TRAVEL DIRECTION AND SPEED
Move the direction control away from you, toward the
mast, to travel forks fi rst. Move the control toward you,
away from the mast, to travel power unit fi rst (forks
trailing).
Use the accelerator on the fl oor (right pedal) to control
travel speed. The farther you push it down, the faster
the truck will go.
When you sit down you must place the direction
control in neutral before you select a direction of travel.
Note:
You must use full acceleration (with the inching/
brake pedal applied) to obtain maximum performance
for any hydraulic operation.
AVOID TRUCK DAMAGE WHEN CHANGING TRAVEL DIRECTION
You can damage the truck if you are traveling too fast
when changing direction of travel.
Do not change direction of travel until the truck has
slowed to about 5 mph or less.
Know the Hazards
SLOW DOWN FOR SPILLS OR WET FLOORS
Powder or liquid spills can cause slippery fl oors.
Slow down or you could lose control of steering and
braking. Be careful and allow for a longer stopping
distance.
Don't run over objects on the fl oor.
LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING
Travel in the direction that gives you the best view.
POWER UNIT SWING
Be careful turning while traveling forks fi rst. The power
unit will swing wide in the opposite direction. Make
sure you have clearance, and watch out for people in
the area.
KNOW THE OUTDOOR HAZARDS
Outdoor usage of this truck requires even more care,
especially when operating on gravel, unpaved surfaces,
uneven terrain, or when snow, ice or water is present.
PREVENT DAMAGE TO TRUCK
Slow to 5 mph or less before reversing direction of
travel.
HORN
Press the center of the steering wheel to blow the horn.
Use it to warn pedestrians and other drivers.
Use your horn when you leave an aisle or come to a
crosswalk or intersection.
Note:
Your truck may be equipped with an optional
horn button on the rear post handle.
