at the desired height.

Push the lower button all the way for fast lowering.

POWER UNIT SWING
 
Be careful turning while traveling forks first. The power 
unit will swing wide in the opposite direction. Make 
sure you have clearance, and watch out for people in 
the area.
SLOW DOWN FOR SPILLS OR WET FLOORS
 
Powder or liquid spills can cause slippery floors. 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 floor.
