KEY SWITCH
Turn the truck on by placing the control handle vertical
and turning the key to ON (green dot).
Turn the truck off by turning the key to OFF (red dot).
Always turn the key to off when leaving the truck.
POWER DISCONNECT
Pull up on the power disconnect handle to disconnect
the battery and cut all power.
Always disconnect the battery any time the truck isn't
working right. The key switch does not cut all power
to the truck. Report the problem to your supervisior.
BATTERY CHARGE METER
The green and yellow lights show how much charge is
left in your battery. A flashing red light will warn you
that the battery is getting low.
Two flashing red lights mean you must have the battery
changed or recharged. This also means you will not be
able to raise the forks.
Maintenance free batteries, when used, are designed
for deep discharge cycling. However, opportunity
charging is permitted under certain conditions.
• Battery meter must indicate for at least 30% and 60%
of discharge.
• Batteries are charged for at least 30 minutes, with an
equal cool down period.
• Batteries receive a full charge at least once a week.
See service manual for more information.
Note:
The battery meter may give a false reading for the
first hour after opportunity charging.
MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKE WORKS
Test the brake on your truck at the start of each shift.
Know the distance it takes to stop before starting work.
If at any time the stopping distance is too long for you
to stop safely, don't use the truck. Report any problem
to your supervisor.
BE CAREFUL WHILE USING BRAKE OVERRIDE
Hands or feet caught between the truck and a fixed
object will be crushed or even cut off. Stay out of the
path of travel.
??
BRAKING ZONES
Move the control handle all the way down or all the
way up to apply the brake (see Brake Zone Label).
When you let go of the control handle it will
automatically go to the upper braking zone.
BRAKE OVERRIDE ZONE
If you must move your truck while in a confined area,
this feature allows you to override the brake and
drive slowly while the handle is in the Brake Override
portion of the upper Brake On zone.
With the handle in the Brake Override zone, put the
forward/reverse rocker in neutral, and then move it to
the direction you want to travel.
Watch your feet. Make sure you don't get pinned
between the truck and a fixed object. Stay out of the
path of travel.
