Electrical Braking (Plugging)
To slow, stop or change direction when traveling in
either direction, move the the directional control
forward/reverse switch (1) to the opposite direction
while keeping the accelerator pedal (2) depressed.
The Micro-controller senses that the motors are
turning opposite to the lift truck and immediately
goes into the plugging mode.
Rotation of the motors is retarded at a
predetermined rate by electrical braking (plugging).
If the accelerator pedal is kept depressed, the
Microcontroller will slow the lift truck to a complete
stop and then accelerate in the opposite direction.
1. Move the directional control forward/reverse
switch to the opposite direction of lift truck travel.
2. Hold the accelerator pedal down until the lift
truck nearly comes to a complete stop. Release
the accelerator pedal.
3. Push down on the service brake pedal to bring
the lift truck to a complete stop and hold it.
4. If a change of direction is desired, continue to
push down on the accelerator pedal until the
desired travel speed in the opposite direction is
obtained.
5. To stop the lift truck where conditions do not
permit electrical braking(plugging). Release the
accelerator pedal (1). Push down on the service
brake pedal (2) and bring the lift truck to a
smooth stop.
