Driving on Wire Guidance
ACQUIRING THE WIRE
Push the Wire Guidance switch to ON
as you near a guided aisle. Drive slowly with the
platform about 300mm (12 inches) above the fl oor,
and center the truck over the wire. Your direction of
travel (power unit fi rst or forks fi rst) controls how you
should approach the guidance wire.
Note:
Power unit fi rst is the recommended direction of
travel for acquiring the wire.
POWER UNIT FIRST
Drive slowly over the wire at an angle of 20° or less.
When you hear a "beep" and the red light turns off,
the truck takes control of steering. Start slowly.
FORKS FIRST
If you must acquire the wire while traveling forks fi rst:
Drive slowly along the wire (no angle allowed) until
you hear a "beep" and the red light turns off.
Continue to drive slowly for two truck lengths before
resuming normal guided driving.
AUTOMATIC SLOW DOWN
While traveling on guidance, your truck may slow
down automatically for certain conditions.
• Low signal strength from the wire.
• Truck deviates slightly from the wire.
• End of Aisle Control (optional) is activated.
AUTOMATIC STOP
Your truck may stop automatically for certain
conditions.
• Signal strength from the wire is lost or is too low.
• Acquiring the wire at an angle greater than 30°.
• Truck deviates too far from the wire.
• End of Aisle Control (optional) is activated.

Know the Hazards
FOR MANUAL STEERING
Take control of the steering handle, toggle the guidance switch OFF.
Note:
Whenever guidance is OFF, the red light on the display will be on to remind
you that you are in manual steering.
If the wire sensing option is turned on, the red light will fl ash and the "beeping" will
speed up, to notify you that the truck senses a wire.
WHEN DRIVING ON THE WIRE
Watch where you're going. Make sure your path is clear.
Drive slowly and be alert for "beeps" from the alarm or changes in the display that
signal changes in guidance status.
END OF AISLE CONTROL OPTION
With this feature, your employer can program your truck to either slow down or stop
automatically when it comes to the end of an aisle. You will hear a “beep” and the
indicator light will turn on.
Return the travel control to neutral, press the Override Switch and resume travel.
STAY ALERT
You must be just as careful and alert while driving on
guidance as you are when driving with manual steering.
• Start slowly and look where you're going.
• Always be prepared to steer manually.
• Make sure there is nothing in your path, on the fl oor
or sticking out of the racks.
LISTEN FOR THE "BEEP", CHECK THE DISPLAY
• Take control of the steering any time the red light is
on, and check the display if you hear a "beep".
