Lift Truck Operation
Power Shift Transaxle
1. Start the engine. See topic “Starting the Engine.”
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
directional lever FORWARD for forward direction or
by pulling the lever BACK for reverse direction.
WARNING
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) position 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.
WARNING
Sudden reversal of a loaded lift truck traveling
forward can cause the load to fall or the lift truck to
tip.
Stop the loaded lift truck completely, before shifting
to reverse.
Failure to comply could result in personal injury.
NOTE: Where conditions permit, directional changes
can be made under full power at speeds up to 6
km/h (3.73mph). A speed of 6 km/h (3.73mph)
is a fast walk. Directional shift changes at
speeds above 6 km/h (3.73mph) are considered
abusive.
Bring the lift truck to a complete stop where load stability
or other factors prevent safe operation under full power
shifts.
