Accelerator Pedal
NOTICE
The service brake and accelerator pedals should
not be used at the same time, except for
emergency situations. Use of both the brake and
accelerator pedals at the same time may cause the
drive motor to overheat.
Accelerator Pedal - The accelerator pedal is
located on the floor of the operator’s compartment.
Push down the pedal to increase travel speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed before the key
switch is turned to the ON position, the lift truck will
not move until the pedal is released and depressed
again.
Release the pedal to decrease travel speed.
Film For function of pedals (if equipped)
This plate shows the function of the brake and
accelerator pedals.
Directional Control Lever
Forward(1) - Push the lever forward.
The lift truck will move forward.
Neutral(2) - Move the lever to center
position. The lift truck should not move
when lever is in neutral.
If the operator leaves the seat, or turns the key
switch off, the lever must be returned to NEUTRAL.
The lift truck will not move until accelerator pedal is
released and lever is returned to NEUTRAL.
NOTE: Wait Mode of Operation-This condition will
go into effect when the following occurs.
The seat switch is closed, key switch is on
and the directional control lever is left in
NEUTRAL for more than five seconds, with
no operator input to any control.
The line contactor will open and the power steering
motor will turn off to conserve energy. The lift truck
will remain in this mode until the operator moves
the directional control lever, pushes on the
accelerator pedal and/or moves any control valve
lever.
Reverse(3) - Pull the lever toward the
operator. The lift truck will move in reverse.
NOTE: The directional control lever can be used for
electrical braking(plugging). To slow or stop
the lift truck when traveling in either
direction, move the directional control lever
to the opposite direction of travel while
keeping the accelerator depressed. The lift
truck will slow to a complete stop and then
accelerate in the opposite direction.
When the operator raises off the seat (seat switch
opens) while the lift truck is in motion, the drive
motor will lose power. When this occurs, release
the accelerator, close the seat switch (operator
seated), move the directional control lever to
NEUTRAL and then to desired direction of travel.
Push down on the accelerator.
