1. Start the engine. See topic ÒStarting the EngineÓ
2. Push down on the service brake pedal to hold the
lift truck until ready to move it.
3. Release the parking brake.
NOTE : The parking brake must be released before
the directional control can be used.
4. Select the direction of travel by pushing the direc-
tional lever FORWARD for forward direction or by
pulling the lever BACK for reverse direction.
A lift truck with the engine running but without
an operator can move slowly (creep) if the
transmission is engaged.
This could result in personal injury.
Always place the transmission control lever in
the NEUTRAL (center) positon and apply the
parking brake before dismounting the lift truck.
5. Release the service brake.
6. Push down on the accelerator pedal to obtain the
desired travel speed. Release the pedal to
decrease travel speed.
Sudden reversal of a loaded lift truck traveling
forward can cause the load to fall or the lift
truck to tip.
Failure to comply could result in personal
injury.
Stop the loaded lift truck completely, before
shifting to reverse.
NOTE : Directional changes can be made under full
power at speeds up to 8 km/h (5 mph). A speed of
8 km/h (5 mph) is a fast walk. Directional shift
changes at speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph) are con-
sidered abusive.
