Inching
NOTE: The purpose of the inching pedal is to provide
precise lift truck inching control at very slow
travel speed and high engine rpm. This is used
for fast hydraulic lift, during load approach, pick
up or load positioning.
1. To inch (creep) in either direction, slowly push down
on the inching pedal. This will start to apply the
service brakes and allow the transmission clutch
discs to slip.
2. Vary the position of the inching pedal and the
accelerator pedal to control the inching speed and
distance.
3. Pushing down further on the inching pedal will
disengage the transmission completely and apply
the service brakes fully to stop and hold the lift truck.
This will provide full engine power for fast hydraulic
lift.
